Marimekko

August 6th, 2009

I picked up a pair of Marimekko pillows from the Crate & Barrel outlet at Cabazon. They were $18 each and I sure love to snuggle up on the couch with them while watching some television. BTW – I am officially obsessed with Freaks & Geeks, and don’t know how I missed out on that show till now! Thank you Netflix for ruining any productivity I once had.

All in all I’m super late on participating in cultish trends, be it TV or fabric.

The den.

We spend almost ALL of our time in here and it is the hardest area to photograph, needs tons of work and has the worst light and layout in the whole house. BUT dude, this is where the cable lives…and its close to the kitchen…so heaven.

Oh, and I started using my little John Keal Brown Saltman tables (that got pushed out of the bedroom) instead of the long coffee table.

Yes or no?

I’m not sure what kind of coffee table to put in the den. It has become apparent that a large / long table just doesn’t functionally work in this space. I love the flexibility of two tables but I’m not totally convinced these are the right pair. Like I want something a little less mid century but not super modern and says “WOW, I’m a rad and unexpected coffee table.”

Google isn’t really helping.

Thrifty!

I never would have thought that I’d find a little friend for the giant pear terrarium. But look-y who walked magically into my life after a trip to Revival Thrift in Palm Springs.

What a cutie for $3.

I really need to get to planting some succulents or something in my empty pair pals. Its been one of those projects on my to-do list that just never seems to get done. I’ve been really busy sleeping and just working hard at being a lazy dirt bag…just take a look at the half primed house and unfinished bathroom.

Pear terrariums aren’t really ranking high on my list of crap that needs resolving.

Balls

August 4th, 2009



I picked up a set of vintage pool balls at the thrift store for $5. The set is missing the nine ball which means that all my hopes are dashed for a retro style pool bash. The full set of the balls won’t fit in my glass dish…

Balls. Hehe.

Iggy likes them. He won’t stop licking them.
