in that little world

Home Sweet Home:

 blurry living room sneak peek

kitchen, looking onto my awesome deck!

dining area, deck just beyond

incredible bathroom cabinets go all the way to the 12 foot ceiling!

dreamy home office; friend/landlady/homeowner did the pallet wall, and the desk is a craigslist score

office storage. gorgeous painting by Jenny (MFAMB)

office fireplace. non-working, just gorgeousness. none of that stuff on the floor is staying there.

more office goodness

Not done, of course.

Bedroom and deck still to come.

I love it here. LOVE.

There is a magic in that little world, home; 

it is a mystic circle that surrounds comforts and virtues 

never known beyond its hallowed limits.

the general joy

I have this:

I want something different. These are different:

This one's available on craigslist for $60:

Hard to tell much about it, it's so buried in crap...

This one's only $25 - maybe painted it'd be marvelous?

No price on these, but the top right one is interesting, yes?

So, what do you all think?

I drink to the general joy of the whole table.

seams of walls and floors

We've finally gotten to the fun stuff: hanging pictures, fluffing pillows, having friends and family out for Sunday brunch -

All is well in our corner of Eden. 

My coffee and I stopped by the wickedly funny My Favorite and My Best this morning and sat, wide-eyed and smiling, as I watched this treasure Jenny had found in her inbox. It's so very perfect I had to share, because I know you'll love it, too. Watch:

See? I told you!

Houses, houses
Seams of walls and floors
Windows to hallways
Closed and open doors...

tell all the stars

When the previous homeowners moved out of our house they took the vanity mirrors from both bathrooms with them. I have quite a few mirrors, and may be able to choose from my collection for one or both bathrooms.

If none of mine work I'll have to shop. Oh, pity...

and through the open window
i think the singing went outside
and floated up to tell
all the stars not to hide
cuz by the time church let out
the sky was much clearer
and the moon was so beautiful,
that the ocean held up a mirror
