Weekend Finds

Remember that whole thing I said about being down 3 chairs? How I said I sold some and went on a chair diet? Yeah, well that's over.


Meet my new best friend. Yeah, she's the real deal. My first Eames. Feels neat. I like it. The Sea foam is the most perfect color in the world. She's going to get a new base as fast as I can make it happen. I'd love a walnut dowel base but I'm not sure how based in reality that particular want is. $75 on Craigslist. In Los Angeles that's a crazy bargain.


Let me stop right here and apologize for the photos. Weird things are happening with the light in my house and my camera. I can't seem to make it all gel. I also can't seem to find a good spot to photograph big items without the background looking messy and gross.

 I braved the rain for the Long Beach Flea yesterday. It was almost sunny when we left the house but 15 minutes into the flea it started drizzling, then rain, then a downpour. The scattered vendors that made it out were packing with a quickness so we hightailed it home and enjoyed the downpour from a cozy spot on the couch. I would stop short of saying it was a bust because I found this for $20:



Hurray! Storage!




Yuck to the photos. Maybe I need a new camera? Lessons? Paparazzi?

  1. Could you please do a house tour post someday! I just love the colors in your dining room, and I can only imagine how wonderful the rest of your home looks like.

  3. I love that butter-yellow bar cart. The only thing about the dining room that doesn't sit (or dine) with me is the area rug, All of the concentric rectangles make the room appear much smaller. The floors are gorgeous--maybe a low-contrast medium- or large-sized animal/fake hide rug?

  4. @JPK I totally agree. I'd love a cowhide rug but it's just not in my budget right now and that $30 number was.

  5. Sallie Mae restricts my design budget. It sucks.
