Modernism overload.
The convention was full of beautiful, no, BEAUTIFUL things.
I’ve never felt so very, very poor. All of you COME HOME WITH ME.

It’s motherfucking Modernism Week!!!!!
Too bad I already missed out on the home tours. Dammit, this happens every year! Sold out again.
I am going to the convention and hopefully checking out other fun events. Anyone want to join me? The Boy is so not interested…
Thrifty!

I’ve been on the hunt for a new coffee table for the den for a long while. We’ve gone through multiple coffee tables (for a recap let’s time travel to here, here, here, here, here, and here.)
Most recently we used a pair of John Keal for Brown Saltman end tables (just like these on fancy 1st dibs) that worked adequately but never really made me happy.
This weekend I found a pretty beat up Eames elliptical table at this place called Foothill 5 Fifty.
This place is not for the faint of heart, well…pretty much its just plain awful. The store is seriously packed with amazing pieces of furniture (all the biggies – Eames, Nelson, Bertoia, Wegner, Nakashima, you name it they got it stuffed in there – like crazy hoarder style) but it’s almost impossible to move around and you can’t see anything. When I’m feeling particularly masochistic I tend to check it out.
Customer service? TERRIBLE. Prices? OUTRAGEOUS.
So, my little beat up table was $90. I like it, Iggy loves it, The Boy, well he’s not convinced. You gotta get low low low low low low low low…
