I can't believe I found another old favorite on the market again. It's the Mirror House. The owner covered the entire outside with mirrored tiles. It was originally built in 1969 in Pittsburgh, PA. I don't know at what point it got mirrored out, but it has many local fans. (Good thing there's no HOA.) It has 3bds, 4ba, & is listed for $899K. Oh, and the interior is pretty awesome, too.
It's a seriously artsy home. The fireplace has mirrored tile, and a piece of the ceiling is also mirrored. A checkered wall with a matching window shade complete the look.
Next to the living room is a dining area with stools around a large island. The kitchen has a service window with a place for plates and serving dishes.
The professional chef's kitchen has a large island and all the utensils are out and within easy reach.
The dining room is somethin' else. He really decorated this with mirrors galore. Do you love the dining table & chairs?
The primary bedroom has a tile wall that simulates brick.
This bath with a sunken tub is a little trippy and matches the dining room decor.
This secondary bedroom is also very nice.
And, here's another decorated bath.
If the new owner is an artist, there's a great studio/shop.
What do you think of the railings? This must've been very painstakingly done, as all the decor is, in this home.
Upstairs is a table with a lazy Susan, that looks like it's for games, plus a wall of what appear to be record albums.
Music room down in the basement.
Then, there's a sub-basement with a home theater.
Another bathroom down here.
Plus, another art studio/gallery.
Outside is a pergola with a mirrored wall.
The entire house is covered in mirrors, including the back. And, the red addition is the studio.
The home is on a nice big 1.50 acre lot.

I've had a bit of a struggle getting back to normal life after cancer treatment. I feel good for a few days, and then I crash. Had a really promising early week, but the last few days were not good. I think part of that was from feeling disorganized and hemmed in by piles of papers.
Today I was able to get moving and straighten up the studio.
I am still way behind on paperwork, as business items and receipts need to be addressed and I haven't been able to tackle any of it in months.
But art has to come first. Cleaning up the business piles meant putting important things forward and filing other things away out of sight where they don't feel oppressive.
I like a comfy clutter in my studio, but it has to be a manageable, organized space, or I can't function in it.
I feel a little less overwhelmed today!
Baby steps!
I hope everyone out there is doing their best! It's all we can do!

I started working on a new acrylic painting! I made myself a couple of gouache studies to figure out the colours and the composition.
I usually make my studies digitally but there is always a risk of something going wrong because what works digitally might not work traditionally and vice versa and I have had to redo entire parts of or entire paintings because of this.
I must say that I am already feeling much better about working with traditional media studies. I might be using gouache more often for my studies going forward.
Find me and my art elsewhere!

Tipping these into the big jar rn.
This thing's got every pencil nub I've made since 2014 & it's the most oddly satisfying thing I own ✨✏️✏️✏️✏️✏️✨
