{ just a peek }
It is no big secret that I love blogs :) And while much of my blog-stalking in the past couple years has been devoted to wedding blogs, the super-close runner up has always been design blogs. I swear it happens everyday – that I stick my laptop violently in Scott’s face and proclaim that THIS! is my new favorite living room, or how we HAVE TO HAVE that solid ash vintagey mid-century rocker, and how that coffee table is the one thing that has been missing in my life all these years and I FINALLY FOUND IT.
I have a little secret fantasy (or not so secret, since I just professed it to the entire interwebs) that our humble abode can one day be featured on Design*Sponge, the mother of all design blogs. And though the bits and pieces are coming along very (very) slowly, it’s a sweet feeling to be building up a space that you love. Our most recent purchase was a teak-colored sideboard (which we’ve since cleverly{?} named “Cyborg the Sideboard”), that I promptly adorned with lots of random tidbits. So basically, I figured since I love peeking into everyone else’s homes oh so very much, I might as well share this tiny peek into mine :)
And yes, those are the same chinese lanterns from here – they’ve faded quite a bit but it’s almost fall which means I’ll be able to get a new batch any day now!
And yes, the wall is ridiculously stark. The plan is for the New York prints to soon (supposedly) spawn an entire wall full of awesome framed stuff.

I LOVE that sideboard/credenza. We’re looking for something just like it. I slowly phasing out furniture to get to mid-century modern style. It’s about time the apartment isn’t just a hodge podge. We recently scored an awesome coffee table by modernica from a flea market.
Love it- maybe we should be doing photo shoots at your place :)

I love this! It’s my dream to have a well thought out living space, but as for now it’s chaos and kids!

Thanks everyone for the encouraging comments! :)
@esther: Ooh do you mean WPPI next year? Or the WPPI roadtrip that’s going on now? I’m not going to the roadtrip but I will most likely be going to the convention next year! Hope to see you there again! :)

A perfect day of fun would be mid-century shopping with you in your neck of the woods ;) LOVE THIS post Adrienne! I have a not so secret wish to get our house in Design*Sponge too. I have been cooking up a redesign of our living room for a LONG time now and when I get it done, I want to share it on the blog too!

I love the grain in the wood of this sideboard. Orange Chinese lanterns are my favorite too. :)
