Decided that the bedroom could use something more... tried browns and yellows...

new armchairs
Not quite sure if we will keep these
new chairs. Cons: very tall backs and the color is a bit too gold. Pros: recliners are soooo comfy and the price was right. Will continued to "tweak" the room.

Ikea, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways...
60 riktig ogla curtain rings
1 tarnby rug
3 billy bookshelves
1 stenstorp island
and 1 ice cream cone!
slowly but surely
JJ hanging "window treatments" aka curtains. Mostly so the neighbors don't see that we are watching The Bachelorette (see tv screen in window reflection.)

Monday, September 14, 2009Look: historically, I'm not a morning person. And to top it off, I was grimacing through some lower back pain that flowered over the weekend. So when you noticed me (white guy, brown hair, blue/white striped shirt, earphones, red book) and I noticed you (white girl, brown hair, nosering, headphones, blue book) for however brief a moment this morning, it was bolstering and made me forget the knife in my back. Haven't noticed you before, but if there's a next time, maybe I can slap myself out of the morning slumber and say hey. No promises, though.

Design Guides by Design*Sponge
JJ is quail hunting in Mexico this weekend and so I have the house (and the City) to myself. I don't have much that I have to do, so I've decided to use the Design*Sponge Design Guide for San Francisco in order to explore the place that I've called home for the last decade, or so. These "guides" are put together by various bloggers/designers and are posted on the Design*Sponge website - one of my daily reads - and are a great way to explore a city and discover new and interesting shops, museums, and landmarks all with a slant toward design and interiors. I think they are a great way to rediscover a city once you've traipsed around and seen the main tourist attractions. You know, like Fisherman's Wharf or the Eiffel Tower.
Looking at the list of cities on the site makes me want to go back to Europe and re-visit a lot of places, especially Amsterdam. And wouldn't it be fun to go "down under" and see Brisbane and Sydney? Oooh, wouldn't that be exciting? I do have some frequent flier miles...
So, I'll start this weekend with San Francisco and make it my goal to go to AT LEAST three other cities in 2010.
