to the hearth and home of the booklings.

so, as i am living in this beautiful new space, i am just continually inundated with what i want to do to improve it...and i am coming to terms with it being a continual process. (we both know i am way too task to be good at the process)! i am hoping to be done by 2009 - so let's pull for that!

for now, i am attempting to focus direction towards the kitchen a bit (though so much is needed to help - and it's a question of money at this point, not inspiration).

i found this kitchen space on apartment therapy while perusing one of their house tours.

side note:

i love, but LOVE house tours! (and i am guessing,
my little voyeristic nymph, that you love them too!)

and may/may not dream about photographing my own house someday

(hey that would be oodles of fun to do together!)

as it stands, i SHOULD certainly be doing

a before/after shoot of the apartment now.

anyway, here is that kitchen storage idea!

p.s. monsieur bookling will stick up his snobby minimalist nose at this, but i think it's just so cute, whimsical, and FRENCH!

but back to the living room: i still need to finish of the space with some details...both of which you know a little somethin' about!


what is it? drum roll please.....


Plants and Pillows!!

I need a date to Molbacks, first of all! But I think I want two or three hanging plants to start.


I need four pillows. Two for living room, two for bedroom. For the living room, green/pink/brown/blue (using my chair and my soul as inspiration). Bedroom i am thinking an orange/brown/white motif...and i found this gal's pillows (sorry for cheating on you) on etsy.

it's totally sold. sad. serves me right for looking at anyone else's pillows except yours!

i have less of a direction about the pillows in the living room.

i also need some artwork for the wall above our head - did you see the curtains monsieur bookling put up there as well? it looks quite nice. i would love to put up some of this girl's stuff, a new artist i came across and now don't remember where, but look!

Lena Wolff

i think she saw our soul and painted it.

because maybe you didn't know but
it seems our souls keep mixing
and golly, it's getting gorgeous.
