This is a room that has gone undiscovered by me, that is until this recent trip to Willis Wonderland in May. Look at the original, vintage, red domino handles on each drawer!

I would’ve straightened out the domino handles t if I knew they were going to be photographed. I always wanted to use the old celluloid ones as handles so we just drilled holes in the backs and used very strong glue.
Building those drawers downstairs in the laundry room saved my life. I wish I could build them all over the house as they hold things like the shoes you see dangling above them. Once I find shoes I like I have to get multiples so I don’t feel bad about wearing them out. The ones you can see here are some of my limited edition Nikes from 2001. The white and yellow ones are Kobe Adidas from about 2003. The big green plastic covered thing under the shoes is a part of a 9 foot long green screen that I pull down when I want to do some special background effects in my videos.
