I went to gymnastics camp for a summer when I was 13, and this photo of the lovely Julia reminds me just how much fun it is to jump into these foam pits. I even kinda want to enroll in a weekly gymnastics class, even though I think my back might be a little too old to handle it.
One of the photos from the Time Out NY “You Shoot NY” photo project … at the Chelsea Piers gymnastics foam pit, which is, btw, quite fun.
And…the finished product. Am I crazy to think that it looks like something I could have purchased at ABC Carpet & Home? OK, maybe that’s an exaggeration, but let’s tally it up, folks:
Lamp: $0
Crystals: $3 at thrift shop
Wallpaper: $0 (thanks, Stephen!)
9. Apply bronze or gold fast-dry enamel (I use Plasti-Kote Brush-On, but whatever you find in your local hardware store is fine) to selected areas with a small brush - a couple of coats might be necessary for full coverage.
Ta da!!
Better, no?
Mid-wardrobe overhaul. Stuff to keep out is on the bed, stuff to store away for a few months is on the floor, and stuff to get rid of is off to the right (btw, the first NYC area reader who emails me saying they’d like to grab this stuff - it’s not an unbelievable selection, but there’s a nice Calvin Klein sheath, some good basic t-shirts, and a chiffon DKNY blouse - before I take it to the Salvation Army is welcome to it…just email me at jordan@nonsociety.com).
