chair person never replied to my emails.
so this guy came home with me instead.
thanks dad.
pictures of him in his new home coming soon...
meow.
upon investigation (thanks nicole)...
i discovered that my 150 dollar deal of the century is indeed this same bench only a diff'rnt color:
let's take a closer look:
who needs a drink?
some people reading might not understand you...
fuck those dumb bags of dicks.
i get you.
i get you hard!
i am sad though.
cuz you are a steal at $150 (FOR BOTH!! mother FFFFF) on craigslist.
a steal.
and i still can't afford you.
i would do nothing to change you.
i would buff up your brazilian leather.
and clean and polish up your rosewood.
you are a once in a long while kind of find on craigslist.
shit like you almost never comes around.
you are pure.
now for the rest of you...
hire me so that i can pay for this shit!
you are totally going to benefit when you see them all cleaned up and put in my middle room with shelves and stuff.
hire me for personal shopping and/or moodboard making and/or decorating the shit out of your house.
NOW!!!!
superdad left this in the comments section:
Dad (Unregistered) commented on dear chairs,:
"Since I'm such a wonderful human being, stunningly gorgeous, impossibly humble, on the verge of beatification, and an all-around swell guy, go ahead and get them and I'll pay for them."
sold.
first up the cutest girl in the world made cuter by ladybug attire:
this was friday morning before her halloween party at school, hence the sleepy eyes...
halloween afternoon we had homemade chili(dumb) and corn muffins(dumber) with our pals the marler's....
fiona and her pal ailey...a bride...
s. mike....(!!?!)
me (in tiny hat) and mollsballs...
(i see you all looking at that headboard! it is awaiting paint. not sure what color yet)
first house..
fiona ditched the boots for walking purposes..
and pants...
but wait!!!!!...as if that wasn't exciting enough..
shelves were made over..
before...
primed...
painted...and roughly styled..
i need jamie the shelf whisperer to give me some tips...
let me address what the rest of you are thinking..
you: "MFAMB, why didn't you take the shelves off the walls to paint them?"
me: "bc they weigh more than Precious and they are drilled into the wall."
you: "MFAMB i totally think you should have painted the inside of the shelves another color!!"
me: "gross. i would rather drink puke shooters."
you: "so no to wallpaper in them too?"
me: "diarrhea shooters."
you: "MFAMB why don't you put all your books vertical like?"
me: "bc they are decor books and 95% of the are too big. these shelves are really just roughly styled...as in i did them in a few minutes..i need to adorn them with a few cute ob'jets. give me some time."
that ends this portion of the Q & A.
i hope you all had a fun halloween!!
we did!!
settee is back...
and she is nasty...
meanwhile, in england, this is happening:
and this:
and so is this...
and elsewhere...
clothespin beards.
ever on the search for cheap original art that doesn't make my butt bleed, i stumbled across these drawings on anthropologie a few days ago...
they are copied from a 19th century sketchbook and
they remind me of my favorite hugo guinness art:
except i like the flowers better.
but sadly those fuckers cost 498.00 EACH!!
so i went to sam flax
got some ivory paper and a caligraphy pen.
then i went home and drew that shit on some scrap paper.
just to see if i could:
i could.
violas close up:
tulips close up:
so i nervously penciled out the scale on the good paper..
then free handed it with my caligraphy pen ($2.49) and BAM!
art:
accurate smudging:
and frames:
prouds.
now to hang or to prop?
do you ever get on a site that you are pretty sure lots of people don't know about and you almost don't want to share it with other bloggers/readers bc you are a selfish fucker sometimes and want to keep it all to yourself?
and then your insides get all goofy with happiness and you just can't keep it to yourself?
just such a thing happened to me last night..
i am always on the hunt for something i can cover my ugly pink tiles with on both of my non-working fireplaces.
as you know, i rent so i can't change anything or do permanent damage.
i have glued fabric to them with success but i get so tired of the print so quickly.
i have used decorative paper but mostly the papers are too "decorative paper-ish".
so somehow i managed to find design your wall dot com.
it has everything you could ever imagine for your walls.
from grass cloth to vintage to vintage children's wallpaper to decals (gag) to pretty cool contact paper to sea shell tiled wallpaper...etc...
i spent a whole whole lot of time on it...
and yes, i saved some of my favorites for you to enjoy..
first up are the woods:
there is literal wood:
no for my purposes...but cool none the less.
and cool wood finishes:
even burl wood:
check out all the woods, there are loads.
there are faux stone and tile wallpapers:
this is an option for me:
as is this cararra marble:
as is this:
and this:
they also have shell tiled wallpaper:
this is not faux...that is real seashell that you can put on your wall.
it is really expensive.
like 70 dollars per panel with a minimum of 20 panels expensive.
this one was my favorite.
the others are/were too iridescent for me.
there are also buttloads of glossy rainbow colored contact paper:
this orange looked the glossiest in the picture but there is every color in the rainbow.
go here to see the shiny brightness.
these would be so cool covering a table or a desk or YOUR FACE!!!!
there is animal:
this is contact paper.
for you to do this:
maybe this is more your tone:
it isn't contact paper but it IS self adhesive.
there is croc too:
sexy red.
other colors too here.
but then ohhhhhh the grasscloth!!
see what i am REALLY thinking for the fireplace tiles is grasscloth.
so rich. so neutral. such texture.
and it's non working so i won't set shit on fire.
chestnutty?:
buttery and gold?:
an ethnic flavuh?:
or too patterny?
deep green blue?:
(susie what about this for your family room?)

this falls into the ethnic wallpaper catagory.
