Piano Lovers: Be Excited.

8 Dec

I got word this week that the Kennedy Center is going to be selling some of its Steinway pianos at a public sale starting December 19th.   Up for grabs — I’m sure at a pretty penny – are the same pianos that have been used at the Kennedy Center for performances and practice.  The inventory “includes grands, baby grands, studio pianos, and professional uprights.”  No doubt that this is a very cool opportunity for the music lover with cash to burn!  If only I were much more liquid I would purchase one of these for my dad, a certified piano lover, for sure.

If you’re one of those lucky music lovers with a few extra many-thousand dollars just sitting around I’d be happy to give you access to the pre-sale, which will take place before the opportunity opens to the public.  You’ll just have to promise me that I can let me dad borrow it for a few practice sessions..

Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce Floor Plan (Re-blog)

19 Oct

If you don’t watch Mad Men, then this post will be lost on you.

If you’re a fan of the show, then I think you’ll love it.

Reblogged from Kratkocasnik (which for the record I am not familiar with), this is a fairly detailed and seemingly accurate floor plan of the Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce office.  FOR ONCE I have a Mad Men-related topic to blog about that isn’t linked to mid-century modern furniture!  Hooray!

I find only one glaring inaccuracy, which is the fact that there is no space for Bert Cooper’s office (or former office).  Ok ok, and that there are no exterior windows.  My husband thinks that there are several more offices missing and therefore hundreds of square feet omitted.  In any case, it’s a good effort and I enjoyed the images…hope you do, too!
