have more dinner parties (that’s my lovely roommate on the left, who made the world’s best spanakopita last night)
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 [...]
This isn’t the best picture, but I had to get that one of me off the top of the page. The painting is almost done in here, and my to do list is currently looking like this: buy this bookshelf (in white) for office supply storage move and set up the bar cart figure out [...]
OK, I’m back, and I’ve decided to try to post every day for the next month even if it means that all I get up is a lame short post. In this spirit, in between looking for jobs right now I’m working on reorganzing/cleaning the house, and it really really needs it. Seriously. Check out [...]

I’ve been tired of the very early-springish pussy willow paper that’s been in there for a while, and yesterday finally replaced it with this preppy blue striped piece. Because the paper simply lays under [...]
I stopped by my favorite local fabric store this afternoon while running errands and picked up a yard of some great Etsuko Furuya fabric. I’ve been looking for something to reupholster my dining room chairs in for a while, and am thinking this could be the one. I’m not positive that it goes with my [...]
Yesterday I finally got my dining room “office” set up. I don’t like having a desk in my bedroom, and our second bedroom is taken over by T.’s crazy office set up/doubles as a guest room when needed, and I wanted somewhere I could not only do “desk” things but also sew, so I decided [...]
