…and many drinks were consumed.
Thank you to everyone that came to our housewarming party, and for braving the aftermath of the Chicago area storm! Hopefully power returned to your homes quickly!
I Bought Wallpaper
Yes, I finally found (and bought) wallpaper for the dining room. I’m thrilled, but I have a feeling that some people will not like my choice nearly as much as I do!
First, let me share my absolute favorite wallpaper. It’s in a photo from Veer, so there’s no actual information available on it.
Now, the wallpaper I bought:
I love it! Love it love it love it. It’s a little Wary-Meyers-esque, no? It’s vintage 60s wallpaper from U-Turn Vintage Wallpapers on eBay.
The lighting is not as good as it is in the Veer photo (which is a $450 photo), but I think this is about as close to my mystery wallpaper as I’m going to get. Unless, miraculously, one of you has a source?

White Molded Chairs
Now that I’ve taken photos of Brandon’s office, I’m really hating the cheap (somewhat broken) office chair that’s in there. I’m looking for a new one that’s either white molded plastic or fiberglass. Unfortunately, most of the chairs that I like are a bit out of our budget! That said, here are nine options that I’ve been looking at, ranging from $14.99 to $1232 (a girl can wish)…
1. Nelson Swag Leg Armchair, DWR $379
2. Saarinen Tulip Armchair – Vinyl, DWR $1232
3. JAKOB, IKEA $139
4. molded desk chair, west elm $149
5. Eames Molded Plastic Armchair, DWR $329
6. SNILLE, IKEA $14.99
7. orbit chair, CB2 $119
8. Saarinen Tulip Armless Chair – Vinyl, DWR $1152
9. Eames Molded Plastic Side Chair, DWR $229

Brandon’s Office
I haven’t shown Brandon’s office yet! Let’s remedy that, shall we?
It’s a pretty straight-forward room, which is why I hadn’t written about it yet. There was no remodeling, no new floor, no daunting work of any kind! We painted and put furniture in, the end. ;)
The wall opposite the desk has three more IKEA Billy bookshelves with doors. Brandon loves movies, so we have about a million DVDs. The bookshelves barely contain them all.
Ho! What’s that in the bottom right corner, you ask? Why, it’s Brandon’s 2′ tall AT-AT of course!
