Lulu & Drew

Recently we hung up a lot of our art. It changed the whole vibe of the apartment and instantly made things feel lived-in. However, it also brought to light walls that need attention. We have a frequently used bar cart with a lot of dead white wall space above it. I'd like to fill it with this piece from Lulu & Drew.



Cool no? Also, they do a bunch of ikat style paintings. Love.



Maybe JECIV will let me pair them up?

Pretty Things

Inslee and Caitlin McGauley pieces are so pretty I can't take it. I have my eye on the 2012 Inslee calendar for my office, and I'd love to include this McGauley piece somewhere in my home. Maybe it could provide juxtaposition alongside a framed Nirvana concert poster?

Lust.

One thing about moving in with JECIV is that he won't let me make it a girl apartment. Everything is balanced. Objectively speaking that is a nice thing for a couple, but when it comes to choosing an accent chair it's the absolute worst. Accent chairs are so much better when they're girly! I have fallen madly in love with this chair from Ballard Designs. Now begins the search for an affordable version. And then begins the explaining why it's not too feminine.

Bathroom Blues

I think I want this color for my new bathroom. JECIV is actually going to put me in an institution because all I can focus on right now is shower curtains. I'm pretty sure we can't wallpaper the new place, so my situation would be reversed. White walls. Jazzy shower curtain. I think it could be really cute. But a beachy blue in a bathroom does feel like a derivative choice. Enough. Enough now.
