Ain’t Google grand?! Although I have alerts on apartmentjeanie, partyjeanie and photojeanie rarely do I receive any relevant information. Usually someone named Jean has been photographed or another woman named Jeanie said she was going to party like it’s 1999, but nothing that is germane to me or the biz. Today, I decided to search my name – something I haven’t done in a few years and lo & behold there were loads of entries quoting me. …
If you’re are regular reader of my irregular posts, then you’ve probably surmised that I’m a sucker for candy, hearts and anything that is red or pink which for no other reason is why Valentine’s Day is my favorite holiday. Even the years I’m without a sweetheart (but with 2 Bulldogs, am I really?) I still get excited about the aesthetics of the holiday. Since I love a vintage Valentine, almost as much as I love popcorn, I…
The past week I have been working on a MASSIVE move for a suburban client (read: huge home with many many rooms in which to store stuff). The packing of their home of over 40 years required 4 large moving trucks that were crammed, professionally, of course with more cardboard boxes than I care to count and fortunately that was not my job to do so. However, this excessive use of cardboard got me thinking about this amazing pendant lamp…
Many years ago when I was a student in London, Time Out magazine was my bible. This indispensable city guide was my ticket to culture, cuisine and cool. I still feel that way about the magazine – especially when they feature something as awesome as this…
yep, that would be me! well, really my apartment, but we’re are somewhat one & the same. I am incredibly thrilled and humbled by the experience. The support of friends, clients and basic strangers…
It gives me great pleasure to introduce the newest staff member here at photojeanie HQ. Tater Tot the bulldog puppy was handpicked by our senior social director, Little Bit. An excellent addition to the team, we are still fine tuning his role in the company. We believe Tater Tot has a bright future in the pr department as he has taken a dozen meeting since arriving and really commands a crowd. We expect great things from this feisty young…
Now is the busiest time in a visual artist’s calendar year – October’s prep for holiday has segued to November’s installation. While I may be hip deep in glitter and fairy dust that doesn’t mean I should shirk my blog writing responsibilities. Very early this morning when I was rolling out of Bergdorf Goodman‘s employee exit, I was thrilled to see the Halloween windows were still intact and with my sub par Android camera I snapped a few shots. I…
I’ve been buying a lot of photography of late (damn you, Fab!) which is awesome, but problematic as there is zero available wall space in which to feature it. Recently, I stumbled upon Ryan Roberts‘ brilliant and hilarious photo work. I could have easily purchased the entire collection! Since I want to acquire (another) brother for Little Bit, I need to be prudent with my art allowance.
Ryan Robert‘s photography encompasses all that I love – bright colors, graphic paper…
My Etsy shop was never intended to be a money maker, but rather an opportunity to further market the apartmentjeanie brand while simultaneously ridding me of my ornate frame hoarding practice. Recently I had been approached by a potential customer who really liked the epoxy resin frames that fill the shop. She wanted the silver art deco frame to be converted into a mirror with a custom finish. Until you have sanded, cleaned, painted, glittered and covered something in…
The other night I was awoken by the sound of a beer bottle breaking and a melee of voices that could best be described as auditions for Jersey Shore. From my 2nd floor opened window perspective there was a lot of posturing and zero punching. The antagonist, who could easily be a voice double for Ronnie seemed to be removing himself from the skirmish only to keep shouting at the wasted hysterical protagonist, “walk away son, walk away” which…
Well, technically no fish will be caught, only sun rays. The hardworking staff of photojeanie, apartmentjeanie & partyjeanie will be taking an extended re-mix summer holiday to ensure fall freshness! There are clients to meet, surfing to watch and actual book reading to be done.
Hope the rest of your summer is hot & cool.
xxoo.
