A Messy Desk

ok, i always get really mad at david for allowing our desk to get all cluttered. but there IS such a thing as perfectly messy. and if our desk looked like kate spade's i would be perfectly happy.

New Sofa!

we finally got our very epic looking couch in! in almost 4 years of marriage, we have never had a new piece of significant furniture. we bought our bed when we first got married and that's about it. i just like to look at it, and i'm definitely ready for that "i've been packed in stinky plastic" smell to go away.

it's linen, so the side where david was sitting last night is all wrinkled now. i guess i will have to break in the other side today. i'm ready for it to be all broken in and super comfy.

now i'm on the hunt for pillow fabric. i'm deciding between these two for the pattern:

this

and this

any thoughts/suggestions?

NIghtwood

when we moved to birmingham, my mom gave us her old dining room table - a solid wood french provincial piece that i can't wait to post once i overhaul it (there is a good sanding and gray-washing coming it's way). we haven't had a dining table for a while and we miss sitting at a table to eat, but you know what's vital to sitting at a table? chairs. those we still don't have. and me, being the idealistic type, can't find what i really want.

the other day design*sponge featured the apartment of myriah scruggs and nadia yaron of nightwood. i fell in love with the monochromatic style of their place and the different treatments of wood that they have going on. it's absolutely gorgeous.

this feature on design*sponge, led me to their website and i came across these. i would take either set. i love the matching chairs with unique upholstery. but i also really love four completely different chairs. it's time to go to the thrift store and see what i can find!

Felix Sofa

i found this sofa yesterday. it looked lonely. i think i'm gonna have to give it a home.
