oh yeah…


…i got a dog.

fall.


it really is october -- at least for a few more days.
lately time seems to have sped up; days seem too short and weeks fly by.

it's a good thing; better than the mind-numbing monotony of a day that's too long.

on the other hand: stuff gets pushed back to next week, next month, next year.

overall: happy!
but i want to try and write for myself more, so i am gonna try.

consider this part of the effort.

a retro table that somehow matches the apartment perfectly?!

the boyfriend and i spotted it when we were leaving 500 days of summer on friday night.
he happened (?) to be parked nearby… drove around the block, and we popped it into the station wagon. magic.

vintage-y, and zebra-y, and cute. we're going to have to figure out some kind of chairs now, chrome or whatnot, yes?

work work work!

i bought a desk. this is huge news, for someone who works at home. in my old, cramped apartment, i worked like this:



i know that doesn't look so bad, but look at this trainwreckery:






horrifying.

so i purchased my dream desk, a vintage, stripped stainless steel desk. and now my work environment looks like this:

new desk

new desk

this is what is known as an "upgrade."

a bar cart, in jack donaghy's office.

i'll take mine with a splash of lime

at the end of the day, the civilized thing to do is have a drink. back in the day, they had bars inside their homes. but what if you want to sit on the couch and drag your drink over? it had better be on wheels.

i have been looking at bar carts. i can't afford a fancy bar cart, so i may end up using a TV tray table, but a girl can dream, can't she?

here we go…



vintage. french. 1930s. from deco dame.


vintage. lucite. mid-century. very palm beach. via 1st dibs.


new. steamer-trunk inspired. elaborate. heavy, rich. from crate & barrel.


new. whimsical. summery. perfect by my nonexistent pool. from the conran shop.

beautiful, clean, airy. from restoration hardware.
