Budget Minded Modernist
Talk about some freaky good Juju. Â I had just recently lamented Nashville’s sparse quantity of groovalisciousness over at The Brick House ….loving and wanting her new egg chairs, when whaaaat did I see on Craigslist?
NO. This. Can’t. Possibly. Be.
Larry Dallas is coming over for a drink at 4pm and I need one of Mrs. Roper’s freaking awesome kaftans…NOW.
The Regal Beagle’s best customer….the one and only….Larry Dallas
Larry and Jack plan a night out at The RB
Well, that’s what one of The Minors calls them….and no, we never lived in any of New York’s boroughs!
Yes, dorky wildlife chick is back. It’s that time of year when the turkeys appear silently out of nowhere…in enormous numbers. Love it. Still trying to get just the right picture of them en masse….these are only a portion of the groups they travel in lately.
Since I’m in super nesting mode….(which is kinda wigging me out…you’d think I was knocked-up again)…I decided it’s time to purge some more clutter. This is not any ordinary clutter my friends, but the sacred back issues of (RIP) Domino, Blueprint plus years of Dwell. I can’t keep all this stuff. It takes up a lot of room, is very heavy and is making me feel like a hoarder…so why am I so sad? I should feel liberated! I will when it’s done, but tossing out these lovely tattered, dogeared and flagged pages of goodness causes a slight tightening in my chest. Yes, I AM that kind of LOSER. So I’m spending a little time, each day, in my favorite chair… going through pile after pile and trug after trug and tearing out what I can cling to. Farewell my lovelies…..
Oh my, I just saw this on Apartment Therapy and I’m seriously digging it. I was so afraid of the dark cabinets that I really wanted in the kitchen because of my dark floors…how wrong I was…it would have worked! AND…she has the live edge wood bars and backsplashes I so want to put into the RB’s bathroom….swoon. I hope they hire her.
Before I pack up my summer vignette to make way for ravens and spider webs, I figured I should document a little before and after.
It’s easy to forget how it was until you go through the old photos…after all, that’s why I started this thing… so for once, we can have proof of how much we did when it all goes fuzzy.
I hate storm doors as a rule, but with no overhang, there isn’t really a choice. Building a small overhang could work, but we don’t want it to distract from the architecture. Until we get that figured out, I’m stuck on any other ways to get rid of the door without creating a massive moisture problem.
Her console was actually pretty great up close.
The painting is by Bob Burdette. The buffet I found down in Franklin for $300…they HATE deco and mid century down there so it’s all good for me.
A belated thank you to SusieQ at Eye Spy for lovin’ the lemon legs of my sawhorses!!! Fun blog with some of the best color features and Craigslist finds!!!
