Living and decorating in Oakland, CA.

flash cards

This post from Say Yes to Hoboken reminded me that I hadn’t posted pictures of my redone dining room, specifically this arrangement on top of my sideboard:

I bought the flashcards on etsy a few years ago (from a now defunct shop,) and just framed them a few months ago. Pictures of the rest of the [...]

time killer

www.badpaintingsofbarackobama.com

my only complaint is that they’re displayed randomly – I want to look at every single one
(via . . . somewhere)

ouch

Last night while walking to my car my shoe caught on a part of uneven sidewalk and I did my first ever full and complete faceplant.. Fun.:

(my bottom lip is usually bigger than my top one, not the other way around.) The swelling you see here is actually much dramatically better than it was this [...]

luster

love the simplicity of this light fixture from West Elm:

luster glass pendant, $89 each

robot!

One of the newer pieces of art to hang in my house – this giant robot print by the very lovely Eric Rewitzer of 3 Fish Studios. Doesn’t it go perfectly in my front hall? I love it more than a little bit.

pennants

love these new curtains from IKEA:

has anyone seen them in person yet? VITAMINER VIMPEL, $19.99 for a pair.

wooden spoons

it’s pretty easy to tell which one gets the most use

sick

I’ve spent the last few days laid up with some sort of stomach bug. Ugh.

greatest glory

Love this gocco print by Lisa Congdon:

“our greatest glory is not in never falling
but in rising up everytime we fall”
Available for $8 in her etsy store.

blue shoes

I bought these at Target a few weeks ago as backups for some super-hot-but-super-tall heels I was wearing as part of a bridesmaid getup (photos of that wedding soon)

They ended up immediately making the jump into my regular shoe rotation – really cute (the color is great,) super comfortable and cheap! $16.99 online, but I [...]
