Mr. Coleman
Sorry for the absence. Instead of photography, photoshop, and flickr, I’ve been putting all my creative energy and time into furnishing, decorating, and interior design at our new vacation cabin in Carmel Valley. For the living room (shown here) I sought out two vintage Coleman lanterns from the early 1970’s that were in similar condition. (This is the same lantern my folks took camping when I was a kid). I took out the gas tubing and valves and wired them to take two 40 watt bulbs each and connected them both to a wall dimmer switch. The effect at night with the wood stove going and creek just outside flowing is simply stunning.
The contemporary ceiling fan between the pair of Coleman lanterns is the next thing to go. It’s just too modern and will never fit in. Most of the wall decorations are vintage fishing and hunting memorabilia used by my parents and grandparents.
