chairs.

So I am pretty obsessed with chairs.

If I see an attractive chair in a thrift store, garage sale, or on the side of the road, I have to have it.

So far you have seen my kitchen and my living room...there is a bedroom too that I am not quite ready to show.

But my house doesn't have that much space!

and I have about 7 fairly large chairs. Not to mention all my other HUGE furniture.

Anyways look at this Milo Baughman chair I found.

At least I am pretty sure thats what it is!

If anyone knows ways to identify them, let me know!

Living spaces.

Here is a sneak peak of the living room.

I intend on revamping everything as the days go by!

NEW FREAKING HOUSE

Alright so it has been a little over two weeks since we have moved into our new home. 

I love it!

The neighbor hood is great and we even have a new "porch" cat named Furry Lewis.

It has been bloody hot out since we have moved in so it has left me with little motivation to do anything.

PLUS our main computer has been acting up.

Luckily I was able to order a new computer and it arrived today!

I am more than excited to finally be able to upload pictures and edit them accordingly. 

I am going to start off with a KITCHEN TOUR!

 

 Awesome, awesome cook books and such.

Holy shit, the fire duke.

I found this gentleman at a garage sale.

I had been eyeing these sort of fire places for a while.

I thought maybe at some point I would be able to find a cheaper one around 200 dollars, and hopefully I would have it at the time I found one!

BUT!

This bad boy was TEN dollars.

TEN!

I love him.

I hope you enjoyed the first look at my new home.

credenza.credenza

Alright so I am very fond of Mid-Century design.

I don't stop talking about it. I spend most of my free time looking at design blogs and watching documentaries about designers and such.

For the past week I have been really concerned about what to set my TV on in my new apartment.

Right now our TV is on a fire place mantel.

Our new home doesn't have a mantel. So I was not sure what our option was going to be.

I work at a local thrift store and we received two credenzas that were not quite up to my liking.

I thought HEY maybe I could do something with them, paint them, stain them, add drawer pulls...

Our bed is right in front of a window that looks out towards a moderately busy street.

My boyfriend tried to wake me up asking "what is that outside"

Our neighbors tend to be a little trashy, a little obnoxious, so I just figured they were up to one of their antics.

So once I rubbed my eyes awake and put my glasses on I saw it.

The back was facing our window and I could tell that it was the credenza of my dreams.

I hollered out the window and claimed my treasure!

The neighbors claimed this lovely piece of Danish wood was too large for their house and wanted to get rid of it!

I googled mid-century credenza and found a twin.

Looks like the maker is Rosengren Hansen.

I haven't found too much info on his work...but it is indeed teak and Danish!

ALSO

I don't know if you can tell from this picture but this piece is about 10 feet long!

Whoa boy.

The fine furniture gods shinned down upon me that fine morning.

summer in the city

It is starting to heat up here in the little mitten.

 It's got me wearing my hair up, and sweating my ass off :)
There is not better way to try and chill down than poppin in Santo & Johnny.

There are so many smaller items that I want from ikea, but they aren't available online!

Darnit.
