I’m killing time hunting for all that is vintage and gorgeous and Scandinavian…
ALL OF YOU.
Get in my house!
Why are you so far and expensive to ship? Damn. Damn. Damn.

Saturday, July 4th, 2009The Fourth

I’ve always been a big fan of the fourth of July – its just a kitschy good time. I love a good BBQ and fireworks show, or a nice dip in the pool on a lazy holiday.
Well nope, none of that for me this year (or last year or any foreseeable summer in the near future). I totally have to work. Maybe if I accessorize a little more patriotically my overlords might let me celebrate…
Vintage patriotic accessories are no good without the fourth – or a national election. I imagine it would be difficult to work these into an everyday outfit.
Have a rad fourth!
Kitchen Kilim
Thursday, July 2nd, 2009
I’m totally a sucker for ebay kilims.
I nervously auctioned my way to winning another rug on ebay with the intent of sticking it in the kitchen. It fits at 10′ x 4′ and is definitely lovely for $22.50.
When I saw it on ebay I thought the pale aqua color and the subtle geometric pattern would pick up the color in my nutty turquoise counter tops. Surprisingly the dark brown geometric pattern creates a great frame against the dark floors…I was a little worried about mixing the dark brown and black. Overall it gives a nice layer of texture to the kitchen which has recently started to feel a little too atomic kitsch and not as modernist snazzy as I’d like.
This rug seems to be of better quality than the one in the bedroom. Its a bit thicker and way less rough…although I’m really not sure how these things should feel.
I might have kilim mania. I still really want a few more to throw around the house.
I wonder how many is too many?
