By Popular Demand



We had a specific request to post an updated photo of our media area now that the tv has been installed and much of the surrounding bookshelves filled. Mind you, this remains a work in progress (as is our entire place), but this is where we are today. There are a pair of wooden pig bookends that we were contemplating buying awhile ago, so perhaps they will one day make an appearance here.

Indecision update

In reviewing our previous posts, we realized that we never updated you about our indecision. Mid-January we had asked you about a fabulous Chesterfield sofa we found at Canvas. It was on sale through the end of that month and we were debating whether or not this would a good fit for our place. Well, we loved it, and since it was on sale, we figured that was a sign. Most of you agreed. So, we plunged in and bought it. We are now in the midst of a 6 to 8 week wait for the piece and we couldn't be more excited. Once it arrives we'll take some snaps and post them.

Zig Zag



We've been admittedly delinquent in posting to the blog. Mainly it's because most things are done and we're now, slowly, working on furnishing the apartment. Not much to report, really. We are still waiting on our Chesterfield sofa to arrive (we hope by the end of March), so will probably not get a rug for the living area until that is in place. In time meantime, the dust bunnies have been flying free. We think that is due to the lack of rugs. So, while we wait on getting the living room rug, today we finally ordered a runner for our entryway. We found this from West Elm, although I think we first saw it on Design*Sponge. This was sort of a quick, fly-by-the-seat-of-our-pants sort of decision—much different than our couch contemplation. That said, we think that the rug we chose will spice things up a bit. We hope you agree:

Taste test
Too much spice, I'm gonna be ill.
Just the right amount of pizazz.
