I'm digging these Thermos Lamps by Ted Harris. If you're in Chicago, go buy them at Scout (one of my favorite home stores in the Windy City) and tell them that The Rural Modernist sent you.

About
I launched my first blog, Doodle Whore in 2006 as a repository for my doodles and observations on popular culture (OK, mainly Britney, cough cough).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.
Yours truly, The Rural ModernistHandsome Devil Press
