bedside tables
I crave bedside tables that are just a little different.
Well, ours ARE a little different. Jay and I have the same digital alarms/clocks, but they display different times. Mine is ten minutes faster than his. And there is no way to change the display time...
This morning, Jay scooted across the imaginary time line we've laughed about that runs down the middle of our bed. As he crossed over to my side he said, "I'm tired of living in the past."
We need new alarm clocks.
in a dream world
I'm still living in a fantasy about tents and tepees. Then, Boom! Saw this from anthropologie.
It's only $9,000.
Surely someone out there is a miracle worker with a sewing machine, canvas drop cloths, and a few lengths of bamboo....
anybody....?
Is it ever OK to kiss your contractor?

We're having closets and a laundry area re-configured so my place is a wreck right now. I try to clean up the work area every night, thinking the less dust and debris around, the less that will be tracked through the house. I asked the sheet rock installer when he would start sanding (so I could be prepared).
"Oh, I don't sand, " he said.
So, I'm thinking, 'Ugh. Gotta get another person to finish his job.' Until he added...
"I sponge. With a damp sponge. Makes much less mess."
I'm thinking a big ole kiss on the mouth might be in order.
in case you're wondering...
yeah, I wish...
I am wearing around the 'soft fondant centers' of a dozen or so cadbury easter eggs.
I promised myself I'd start exercising and eating better the monday after easter.
...until I discovered the half price easter candy at the grocery...
with a little luck I'll be back posting decor tomorrow...
vintage stainless steel medical cabinets
Bear with me a minute folks - I'm gonna get all quirky on you. I've just discovered two vintage stainless steel medical cabinets set to go up for a local charity auction this weekend.
I HAVE TO HAVE THEM.
They look pretty much like the pieces in the first and second images. And they are in perfect condition. I'm thinking the second piece would make one heck of a cool bar...
People, how much do I pay for them...?
I am so excited thinking I might actually get them...
And speaking of quirky, I'd like to thank Artie Vanderpool for my cool new blog header. Oh, wait...it's my header that's quirky, not Artie. He totally 'got' me right away, is very reasonably priced, and was so much fun to work with. I'd totally recommend him if you are looking for something new. Thanks, Artie.
is there a doctor in the house...?

Please visit me today at Julie's Milk and Honey Home. While Julie is away, I'm hoping to find a cure for my newly diagnosed illness - multiplus personalitis decoritis....
smoke and mirrors...?
I posted this image not long ago...then ran across this one. Look closely....
What's up wid dat...?
edge-ify me...
Gagnere's Paris Apartment, Elle Decor, April 2010
When my gal at My Favorite and My Best posted this image, I nearly flipped over the black and white striped art piece. Perfection. Simple. Perfection.
I waited patiently until my Elle Decor arrived about two weeks later, then slept with this page every night. Well, not really, but you get what I mean. That funky piece is just what I need to balance some of my antiques and vintage stuff. To edge-ify my look.
OK, I'm gonna make one and let's see how it goes....
If you have any tips, let me know.
spring in a room
If the recent earthquake made our days shorter, does that mean Spring will be here sooner?
Thanks to My Favorite and My Best for the second image. First one: unknown
People, we are SO validated!
Here's the same garden bench I bought at Home Goods in a room designed by Michael Smith featured in Elle Decor, 2009.
And here is my new favorite look. Of all time. Ever. It's from the talented gal at Shelter. I love everything about it. And guess what? The lamps? Home Goods.
Yum. I would take every single thing in this photo.
You rock, Home Goods.

Rooms with a Brood
What shall we call this? This funky, mix-y vibe that the depths of winter often put us in? So dark and moody. 'Broody?' I like that.
"The room's air was broody and sullen, like the season's own, full of storm clouds." (Nicholas Proffitt)
Yes. That about sums it up.

Sorry there's no credit for 3 and 4. I started gathering before blogging and didn't think to credit.
Don't mess wid me today. I'm broody.
How Nick Olsen Validated My Entire Life in a Single Blog Post
I've saved this image of Nick Olsen's apartment for a long time. Love the cheeky glam. The glossy white paint on the sofa frame totally did it for me. But over the weekend Nick posted on his blog that this sofa, or at least its high gloss white, now bugs the crap out of him.
Cha-Cha-Cha Changes. . .
Here's how I wear that same shade of crazy:
Monday - tired of livingroom chairs. replace with something cool! hip! fab!
Tuesday - replace all antique etchings and prints with abstract art
Wednesday - re-arrange all furniture. again
Thursday - convince the hubs we need to move to way cool house three doors down
Friday - toss out all abstract art
Thanks, Nick. I think I'm gonna be OK.
