lonny is fucking with me.

hey.

check this out.

i spent the better part of 2 hours today (what does that mean? "the better part"??)

what? where am i?

seriously.

i re-wrote the lonny post i started yesterday and thanks to you guys who subscribe to my rss feed i just copy/pasted from that into a new post window.  gay love.

but then i tweaked it and added more pictures and doodles.

i even drew an awesome image of my thumb doing the "thumb's up" sign.

i was all excited to share and open the lonny discussion when i went to remove an image that i wasn't feelin' and accidentally hit "cancel" and bammmm!!

 

that shit was gone forever.

kaiser soze style.

i emailed squarespace and said please for the love of sweet christ tell me i can get that shit back!!!

they were like..

nope.

you are indeed fucked.

so...

i simply cannot do it again.

you understand.

i think we are all in agreement that lonny needs to give the bar carts, wallpapering every inch of a room, bookshelf shots and rehashing of previous issues in general a rest.

aren't we?

 

moving right on..

to this:

aka next project.

my fairy godmother of furniture, susie gave me this kingsize faux bamboo headboard all regency and shit.

 

 

it will be white.

 

aaaaaaand....

 

ghetto pool is back:

holla.

go into the light carol ann

jupiter's cock!!!  i'm back!

my head is spinning with excitement.

i was lost and scared. lonely and angry. i was kelly sans jelly beans. 

i clearly was not making lemons into lemonade.

let me just say that life without the internet sucks peen.

and let me also say that i set this shit up all by myself. that's how much i missed you guys. normally i would be all...supermike will deal with it when he gets home from the job he hates. i'll make brownies instead.

not so my little loves..

for i needed to show you this:

 

a reader who shall be called 'C' decided that her love for me was so strong that she needed to send me this polished brass robert abbey lamp...

and while it seems that my desk is the same shade as my wall, it is not.

the desk is gray owl by ben moore, the wall is silver satin by ben moore. the desk has a tinge more green in it.

 

 

the cup holder is a pink murano glass vase and the copper and pale pinky silver mercury glass votives are from anthro.

 

bitches please.

my bedroom is a symphony in whites, pinks, grays and golds...

my chair is next...hot pink velvet on this:

i have some catching up to do on your blogs so stay tuned for my stoopid comments.

also stay tuned for more tards and their previous works..(*snort)

and could someone please tell me if RHONY is on tonight...

my on demand guide still thinks its funny to tell me shit is "to be announced".

i do not agree.

so good to be back.

i love you like sonja loves sex.

 

 

i have been eating my weight in carbs plus my take on lost and some shit you will love and hate equally

so on sunday i forgot supermike's birthday.

yeah i know. what an asshole.

so to make it up to him i have been cooking unbelievably delicious food like tagliarelle with truffle butter:

and cake.

which equals fatness. and bad wifeness.

remember fiona's ballet recital last week? the photographers pictures came in and these are the only 2 group shots in the bunch...

awesome. we paid 30 bucks for this shit.

 

the season finale of lost aired this week...

let me explain something to you lost writers. fuck you! 

you people suck. you should be ashamed. so you are telling me that these people were just dead and waiting to go to heaven/betterplace/thelight?  so you're basically saying what the vast majority of people who watch this show thought all along?  

and yes, i get it..i get THAT part anyway...BUT WHAT ABOUT THE REST?!?!?!  WHAT ABOUT THE FUCKING ASIAN GUY IN THE VIDEOS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SEASON??  AKA MILES'S DAD?? AND THE WHOLE DHARMA INITIATIVE??? WHAT ABOUT CHARLES FUCKING WIDMORE? AND CRAZY WHITE HAIRED IRISH LADY? WHAT ABOUT THAT FUCKING PENDULUM THING THAT MAKES PEOPLE GO BACK IN TIME??  THAT WAS IN CRAZY WHITE HAIRED LADY'S HOUSE...WHAT ABOUT FARADAY AND THE PHYSICS NOTEBOOK?? THERE WAS WAAAAAY TOO MUCH LEFT OUT OF THE EQUATION HERE...I MEAN YOU MAY AS WELL HAVE HAD A DREAM ENDING...OR A FUCKING SCOOBY DOO ENDING...WHERE WERE YOUR SCI FI NERD WRITING HATS AT THE END? YOU CAN'T WRITE AN ENTIRE 6 YEAR SERIES BASED IN FUCKING NERDY SCIENCE LAND AND THEN END IT IN JESUS LET'S ALL GET ALONG LAND!!!!  i hate you.

 

 

let me introduce you all to my new favorite thing:

spray can of air:

 you can dust anything with this...like a ceiling fan motor, or book shelves...or your face..

available at home d.

 

now...lets move on to the decorating portion of this post:

this is fiona's room and it's time for a makeover...

i want slightly tailored but not stuffy.  i don't want a lot of shit on display. it hurts my eyes.

fiona loves purple. and green. and pink and yellow and everything.

here are some inspiration pics:

 

it is early in the game and no decisions have been made...

do you all have a source for great kids bedding that isn't super expensive. i.e. no serena and lily and no robshaw. but i want something unique.

 

 

next:

here is my desk...

 

i am painting it ben moore's gray owl:

and bc i am official and shit i bought one of these:

i chose pale gray bc i am reupholstering my desk chair in hot pink velvet and those two colors are happiness.

and on said desk i will hopefully get this lamp:

also remember my favorite pendant ever for my dining room?

 

progress is being made a la kindle at redesign diva..

we are excited.

more dining room fodder..

on sconces:

many of you suggested i have the wall hardwired so i can get some sconces sans cords.

my brother just so happens to do this sort of thing for a living so i am feeding him dinner and he is hardwiring my wall.

i like these simple little sconces too....

 

and this one...

 

also i found these cane back chairs on craigslist..

4 for 60 bucks!

bc of the smallest picture ever i can't get a good reading on the details.

i emailed the seller and she is out of town but will send me bigger pics this weekend...

 

 

but i also found these and am quite taken with them..

they are metal...

and interesting..

any thoughts?

sconces i like

the other day while looking at the picture of my dining room i saw so so many many flaws...

namely the cheap (15 dollars cheap) sconces from ikea.

but not to be outfarted by the terrible light fixture and white blinds!!

for now, the chairs will stay pale aqua. (golf claps from you)

but probably black in the future so that the suzani pops a bit more.

in the meantime lets get some sconces...

moving onto the main light source...the chandelier/pendant/lantern debacle...

nelya at head over heels posted this pic a week ago and i fell out of my chair and died.

they are fantastic are they not??

i have searched high and low for something like this and no dice.

although they look somewhat makeable.

who can make these for me at a reasonable price?

 

also this lantern featured in elle decor makes me dizzy....

 

and this one delights me too...

$263 

layla grace

there are so many options out there and it can get confusing. so i am trying to practice make a decision decorating instead of the usual wait until something better comes along. who's got time for that?

your assignment is to pick your faves of the choices i provided.

sconces and overhead.

go back and look at the room here

and don't forget the black cabinet that's in there too..

and then come back here and make your choice.

i love you.
