All Decked Out. Super-blogger and DWR employee, Bradford Shellhammer made a headboard from his collection of designer skateboards. What a great way to show off a collection. Via: DWR Design Notes...

Wow, I love the look of that although it is somewhat lost amid all the other wall activity.

I think it would look great also if the boards would unfinished or just clear-lacquered. Very "updated Eames splint."

A framed pair of panties?! Nice.

That kind of looks just stuck there. But in general this shot would fit better in a girl no older than 25's room. Bradford is giving bloggers a bad name.

Hi Aaron. Thanks for posting this!

This is for my summer house where every room is a different theme. It is supposed to be sensory overload in that room. That's the intent.

And those are not just any panties. They are K-Mart polyester undies from the 70s. They were given to me new in package from Cynthia Rowley as a gift . . . so of course I put them on the wall!

and is it a bad thing that I am happy someone said it looks like a "girl no older than 25's room."

giggle.

Actually, you've got a point youngbradford: I bet the young girls really dig it when you bring them home. This room is made of win.
