material concern

I love the look of this record player from Audiowood that I spotted on Seamsters.

a part of me always has a soft spot for these:

but its probably just the last vestiges of working for fp for so long.

or i might just be lazy and use shelves to define the area.

i was doing a lot of illustration work yesterday..so i watched a ton of movies.

I was blown away by the lush look of miss pettigrew lives for a day….amazing. the production designer was Sarah Greenwood, the set decorator was katie spencer.
