AD Russia is one of my favorite shelter mags because they always have a super mix of neotrad glamour and avant garde chic, with just a dash of loopy to keep it interesting. The latest issue I perused definitely had some lovely rooms, but it also scored way high on the freakometer.
Case in point:
What. the. hell.
What is even happening here? Why does that lamp have eyes? Why is this in an Architectural Digest magazine? I mean, can you ever imagine Margaret Russell giving this spread a pass?
I don’t know. It’s kind of awesome. Maybe the American AD should just hop on the googly eye train?
See – they don’t even look out of place. Well, maybe just a little. But those perky peepers totally jazzed up that snoozefest, right?
Happy Friday, kids. Obviously I am due for some rest.
Back next week with pictures of the new house, which may or may not prominently feature googly eyes.
This spread is positively loaded with character…
This totally made me laugh. Though I hve to admit I was staring more at the little eyes than anything else on the page.
OH!! Can we actually make some giant googly eyes to live in your house, not just a photoshop job?
Wait! A MILLION googly eyes to cover your fireplace.
No No
Just One GIANT pair over the fireplace
yes, that’s it
I think Karly’s onto something:

Strangely, I also just came across this:

Googly eye world domination?
ps: I want to marry that cabinet.
ok, this dates me, but all i can think about are those frustration pencils from when i was a kid: http://www.flickr.com/photos/junepfaffdaley/3180868302/.
your house is looking great & hope you have a great weekend!
that’s totally awesome!
reminded me of the Christopher Walken SNL bit where he was afraid of his houseplants and put googly eyes on them:

this made me laugh out loud. thanks!
Love the googly eyes . . . and there’s no such thing as a snoozefest with that kind of ocean view.
I’m just sayin’.
It’s like a Russian Pee Wee’s Playhouse. I have to say … it don’t hate it.
somebody was smokin’ the wacky.
Best comment thread ever!
Mother Magoo was giving away googly eyes to kids in Halloween gear at our garage sale last weekend. Kids loved it, parents not so much. It truly is a global googly eye movement.
This is great! Very fun, and brightened my morning
