bolig

danish magazine bolig has me wishing i knew danish and/or a friend that knows danish so i could find out where to buy the ruler table runner and clock. perhaps i could get crafty this weekend and make my own table runner with my yudu or gocco

the future perfect

i spent some serious time poking around the future perfect last night and i now have a cart full of things i didn't know i needed. i'm thinking my office is in the most desperate need so maybe just the lamp and the shelving...

cafe habana

for months the construction at cafe habana has been haunting me and every time i see it i can just about taste the delicious corn. well, today is my lucky day! cafe habana malibu has finally opened and i can now enjoy their delicious corn anytime i want (they even have a pickup window right on pch, what a dream!).

corn!

happy menocal

i love these happy menocal custom portraits, particularly because the first sample is a dachshund! and they are only $200!!

tart

is this not the cutest lemon tart you have ever seen?

i'm guessing she used some sort of stencil for the polka dots - and of course now i'm in the market for another stencil. just what i need.

chevron

when we moved into our current house we had so many books and tsotskis that we needed extra storage. enter the expedit bookshelf from ikea. i usually find expedit to be quite cute, but in a organizing fit i bought this birch version on craiglist instead of trekking down to ikea. major mistake. the birch has been haunting me ever since. so when my mom found this stencil that i had ordered online from the uk, i knew my birch expedit was destined for greater things. this project took a lot more patience than i usually have when it comes to painting, but it turned out really great and i'm so much happier walking into the house to chevron.
