Pretending

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009

The living room and I have been in a bit of a funk lately. So lets imagine the living room (and my life) updated with some fantasy disposable income.

This is how we update the living room, son. I make it rain decor goodies.

I think it all would look rad with the big gray couch and round coffee table. Now if I just had like $50,000 available to drop the living room…

But seriously, I am totally on the hunt for some sleek-ass matching vintage leather chairs. Safari, Bachelor, Baughman, whatever or whoever it doesn’t mater as long as its a delicious broken in caramel leather. The living room is requiring symmetry.

…or yellow could be nice.

love love lovvee lovvvvve love love LOVE.

Quite possibly the first house tour that NAILS the exact style I’d love to somehow accomplish on my minuscule budget. The depressing thing about the article is they list the prices for everything the couple picked up on ebay and 1st Dibs. And yes the costs are outrageous for us normal folks – but I guess “Low-Maintenance Living” for the fabulous.

F*cking rich people.

“We didn’t want to come to a getaway home for a weekend away and have to worry about nicks and scratches,” he added. “We wanted something compact, efficient and casual.”

Casual at $700,000 for a “getaway house” with a $1,300 Hermès blanket and $3,500 wall sconce. Ugh. Casual my ass.

I COVET this house and the expensive vintage objects inside it. Poor people can imagine their rich life so readily – and I can acutely imagine myself partying down there, totally unconcerned about the $5,000 floor lamp.

I think I can totally get on board with this gold Eames chair. Maybe it would need a different base – like just a simple black h-base instead of the fussy dowel legs. A set of six would be awesome around a dining table. Just the idea of a set of gold Eames chairs is kind of hilarious…but runs the risk of being a little too post-modern cheeky.

Screw it, its fabulous. Lets make a funky fantasy dining room with expensive crap on 1st dibs.

Holler, its a mood board! I’m calling it,
