MWF Seeks a Little Inspiration
>> Monday, April 12, 2010 –
inspiration board
I’m a big fan of art that offers a more abstract translation of inspiration rather than a literal one. Though, I do have one letterpress print hanging in my bedroom that I absolutely adore (first one above). Curious.
So on this Monday I’m just wondering…how do you feel about them?

dining chairs,
eames,
frugal fridays,
overstock
I have long been obsessed with Eames chairs in all shapes and sizes. Lately, however, it's been the molded plastic editions that really get my heart racing. (Seriously, when I hit the jackpot on Craigslist, it was almost better than, well, you know. I'm just sayin'.) While I am by NO means a brand name snob, there are some things I simply won't bend on for a knockoff. You know, important things, like medication, wine, and purses. Chairs on the other hand, especially these chairs that look EXACTLY the same? Yeah, I could get down with that.
P.S. I lied a tad about the wine. Two Buck Chuck owns my heart.

There's something really captivating about this bedroom. The pale colors of course, but also the lines of the bed, and the simplicity of the interior. I feel like I'd sleep forever there. Mmmm, sleep.

Here are the top 20 reasons why:

17.) Your deep-rooted love of ‘90s rap.

15.) Your patience with my need to scatter flip-flops throughout our home.
14.) Your ridiculous soft feet that make it clear mine never see socks.

(Except for today, of course.)
11.) Your cooperation in recognizing cheese as a basic food group.
10.) Your tolerance of my decorating triumphs and tragedies.

Toast of the Town

bar,
inspiration board,
living room
There are many things I love about our condo. To name a few, it’s cozy, easy to clean and prevents a lot of, ahem, unwelcome guests. Then again, there are things I’m unable to do because of limited space. You know, like have any privacy, or try P90X in my living room. Not that I WOULD do P09X, but it’d be nice to have the option. A more realistic desire, however, is to have a great bar. A glorious built-in complete with wine cooler, crystal highballs and glass shelves. Oh, and a great view, and maybe a swanky couch to enjoy it from. That’s not asking too much, right? Rigggght.

frugal fridays
Man, I love me some Target. Not only is this a great price for a tufted headboard, but I actually like it better than most of the others I've seen. Cheap and chic. I totally support that message.
