I just got back from driving out to Northbrook to pick up a couple of chairs. I got there about 20 minutes early (didn’t want to be late with traffic, so I played it safe) and had a little time to kill. Drove around looking for a place to grab coffee and found a consignment shop instead. Guess who came back home with four chairs today instead of just two!
The pair with rush seating is the pair I went out there to get, but the others were too good to pass up. Either set could be a candidate for painting. But on to this week’s Honor Roll!

Is it pretentious to have a drawing room? I mean, kinda. But I like a little pretention. Excuse me whilst I retire to the parlor.

I’ve been noticing an uptick in Bauhaus style too, and I am fully on board. That, Art Deco, and ’80s Memphis Group style all seem to be trending.
-
More light shed on Sylvia Plath. (Did you read the unabridged journals back when they came out too? Ah, my early bookstore days.)

San Francisco’s lollipop landscaping is pretty cute.
