Hello… welcome.. blah blah blah

Summer is a time for dinner parties… FUN dinner parties. Outside, inside, themed, etc. So for your next dinner party, make it a tie dinner party.

.

… and where better on a cheery summer day than outside with a full service shed/bar. Raining? Not a problem, just close the barn-like doors and snuggle up to the cutest person in the room.

On first glance, I almost thought it was a bathroom, in which case I would have jumped right out of my chair to go get one. In fact, it’s a table. I haven’t decided if I could live with something quite so futuristic in my house. I mean what would it look like without the lovely, old wood floors? Hmm… this is going to be a yes for office furniture, i.e. welcome area, and a no for home. Thoughts?

This is so easy to match with anything. I definitely want to grab me one!

This is a futuristic lawn chair that allows for all these things:

via here … but I didn’t really notice…

So far the kitteh (I still have yet to name her… maybe “mon petit coeur”) hasn’t really messed with all my books/photos on the floor.  But at some point, I should probably move them all onto a bookshelf.  This one looks particularly appetizing, since it adds dimension to my currently barren living room and gives the kitteh lots of surfaces to scratch.  More details here

That’s so beautiful.  I’m so glad we’re finally making good use of our wallpaper/wall, and giving it some nice dimension.  Hanna is amazing.

In an effort to not turn Sh*t I like into Furniture Sh*t I like, here are some non furnishing, I really wish I had the money/space to haves:

I feel like this is highly useful, especially with all the natural disasters happening all around us/if I accidentally/on-purpose ever kill anyone.

.

I seriously need to invest in a multimedia system.  My computer’s weak speakers suck for parties, and my tiny 27″ doesn’t quite do it for the living room.  Although instead of the projection screen, I’d probably just use the while wall and temporarily take down Ty’s painting.

.

One day, I want to live in an apartment/condo with a long balconey, and lots of French doors.  I want lots of these to hang outside alongside flower pots, places to put your current book/lemonade/laptop, surround sound and two rocking chairs.  A cool drink and some hot summer air.  Hmmmmm… (weird of me to run away from Houston and want heat, but it’s so frigid in SF).

.

BTW, thank you KY for the lovely samples you passed out at BlogHer.  There’s nothing quite like a moment of bonding with you client, as the volunteer introduces the new him/her line… really… nice touch.
