Tansu and Satula
I wrote a little haiku for today.
Beautiful fabric,
why are you so hard to find?
I just want curtains.
The above fabrics are both by Marimekko, and they’re both available (I think) on this Japanese website: http://www.icenter.co.jp/satula.htm. At least I know the names, numbers, and corresponding colorways for each of the fabrics (Tansu: 19926-21 and Satula: 19927-24).
I […]
Painting walls with picture rail?
How do you paint a wall with picture rail? Do you paint the same wall color above and below? Or do you paint the wall color up to the picture rail and then paint the area above the same color as the ceiling?
And what about wallpaper? Only up to the picture rail?
I […]
Dreaming of a new bedroom.
Our bed is falling apart. It hasn’t happened lately, but the mattress sometimes likes to just fall right down to the floor. *thump* It’s a little alarming! So… I would love to buy a new bed.
And a new mattress. And new sheets. And a new dresser. And […]
Hiring movers?
I’ve been calling around for estimates. $110-$160/hour (for 3 or 4 guys) plus a flat rate of $55-$79 depending on the company. I think it will be totally worth it, even if we only hired them to move our books… 30 boxes, and counting! We’ll probably have at least 50 by the […]
Wallpaper Contenders
Ack. Shopping for wallpaper is not going as well as I had hoped.
A lot of the great wallpaper designs seem to be coming from England these days. That’s fine, but buying it can be a bit tricky. And then there are fabulous designs that are available to the trade-only. I had […]
Sexxxy art.
I just bought the most wonderful prints from The Black Apple: ‘Little Dunces’. Note that these are not what the “sexxxy” title is referring to… that’s coming up. But first, here are the prints:
I’d like to put them above our nightstands or directly above the bed. Cute, no?
OK, now let me state […]
Color scheme?
I’m trying to plan the colors for the new house so there’s a nice continuity throughout the home. I probably won’t do it all at once and I’m sure I’ll change my mind, but it’s worth a try!
Here’s what I’m thinking (as of tonight):
It’s not bad, but it’s not quite right. I’ll go […]
The Inspection Report
We had the house inspected yesterday afternoon and it’s in good shape! Brandon was at work, so I went alone (though our realtor was there too). There were some problems, but nothing structural or dangerous. And hey… the house is from 1920. We didn’t expect it to be perfect.
So what’s wrong […]
