Weekly Obsession: Infirmary Chic
Jul. 30 09
Sometimes you just want the quiet comfort of a bay of sick beds, where you can recover from your outbreak of influenza like it’s 1909. You feel me?
Bright white interiors with sterile glass and metal — all vintage, in different sizes.
Maybe you don’t need 6 beds, but two of them make the perfect guest room. These white iron bed frames scream sterility.
And don’t forget the artwork and accessories!
And whatever this is:

i’m pretty sure that is a vintage centrifuge! it spins around and separates blood and other liquids! it’s so cool in a creepy kind of way.

couldn’t have said it better myself madison… creepy and cool. i think the centrifuge would make for a really interesting vase if your turn the vials upside down.
