Remotes

T. and I got a new TV stand last night, a hand me down from my parents. The new one is so similar to our old one that I honestly don’t think a single person will ever notice we changed it (I’ll try to post pictures at some point.) However, one difference is the new [...]

birthday shelf

This year for my birthday I asked T. for a shelf to go above the living room radiator (yes, I know that I’m weird) and last night he finally put it up for me (I couldn’t find brackets I liked, but finally yesterday decided to settle on some basic ones from IKEA.)
I really love shelves, [...]

Magtable

I love this Magtable from Umbra. As someone whose coffee table is often taken over by piles of magazines, the thought of incorporating them into the furniture is somewhat appealing.

Orange at CB2

Orange was my favorite color for a long time, but a few years ago we had a falling out. However, we’ve been in discussion lately and I think that we may be starting to work something out again. I’m loving these new (not sure how new, but new enough to be in the ‘new’ [...]

Closet, phase one

Phase one of the closet is complete. This involved painting it pink (Benjamin Moore’s Coral Gables 2010-40 in eggshell,) installing some of those click-on LED lights, and a big trip to the container store for boxes, etc.
Why only phase one? Because there’s still a lot of stuff that has to go in here. As you [...]

Finding a bar

I’ve been trying to find a “bar” for our dining room since we moved in. Not a bar you stand behind, but some sort of storage system for all of our alcohol Not like we collect booze or anything, we just really enjoy comsuming it. We also have very little storage space in the kitchen [...]
