Yard Sales Ahoy!

We found a new-to-us wicker stool at a yard sale today. I thought about maybe painting it, but I like the natural wood tones. It works equally well as a little table or extra seating for a board game on the coffee table :-)



I also ran a HUGE test print of 'Specimen 652' - love it!

Things I love!

This IKEA rug, for the living room... $149

































This Moroccan leather floor cushion, also for the living room - €169.00 - the one I want is actually brown, from Target, and a LOT cheaper, but it's not online... looks very similar though.



This eco-friendly table... a whopping $998



These dining chairs from IKEA might go nicely with it - $139 each. Though I do love red dining chairs (why did they discontinue the Hippie Chair at CB2!?)

Knob-tastic!

Our bathroom doorknob hasn't been working of late, so we started to think about a replacement. I fell in love with this one, from Anthropologie:


At $28, I couldn't justify even bringing it up with Matt...

Then we went to an antique store, and found this... for $10. I love it! And guess what, Matt does too. Woohoo! It has fantastic weight (real glass and bronze, after all), and has clean enough lines to fit in perfectly with our 60s ranch. Now to convince him we need to replace the rest of the ugly interior knobs scattered throughout the house....
