But I also have a passion for antiquing, flea marketing, interiors, art, crafts, music, food, and architecture which I wanted to blab about, but it really didn't fit in with my trashy Doodle Whore oeuvre. I'm a voracious reader of design blogs and shelter mags, but I find that many are simply too girly, too decorator-y, too serious, or just too perfect for me. If I have to read one more story about Hollywood Regency slipper chairs or floral abstract poppy patterned tea towels I'll barf.
So here I give you my perspective as The Rural Modernist: an illustrator and greeting card peddler living two hours north of New York City in the Catskills with his boyfriend and dogs, listening to The Smiths and Madonna while rearranging the furniture, surfing the net, scavenging through barns and tag sales, watching bad t.v., and keeping the bears out of the bird feeder.

We are in the final design phase with the Viola Park people, and are very happy thus far. Our VP kitchen will be the centerpiece of our split foyer remodel, which will incorporate certain mid-century modern elements. We considered the light blue cabinets as well (I think they are called "Respite" from Sherwin Williams). We decided on plainsawn American black walnut for the base cabinets and still deciding about the uppers. All the VP color choices are designed to work together, so whatever you choose should be appealing. I discuss both the VP kitchen and our remodel at http://purcellart.wordpress.com.
