This is not only brilliant,it is much needed

“The majority of the world’s designers focus all their efforts on developing products and services exclusively for the richest 10% of the world’s customers. Nothing less than a revolution in design is needed to reach the other 90%.”

Sneak Peaks

a little section of the dining room

our green kitchen turned red

I'm trying to find the before pictures.

So until I do I'm just gonna show a few sneak peaks.

The art is still not on the walls and a few key furniture pieces are missing.

However, the painting is finally over.

Now it's all about decorating.

the turtle and the hare

are these to twee? maybe a bit to martha stewart huh?

my laundry room WILL be this organized.

My cleaning lady will love me

the inspiration for the kitchen is based on this print and those shelfs.

hard to imagine

This house thing is taking forever.

The bathroom,living room, dining room are now done.

Just need to hang art on walls and sweep floor.

Bummer wave..need to have custom blinds made for front window.

For now using curtains just so people can't see us at night.

Disliking the curtains though.

Check back in a few days or next week when i start posting before and after photos.

Still searching for this chair. 

I'm convinced I can find a used one somewhere .

I don't want to pay full price just yet.

I also like this couch for some reason,I don't think H. does though.

book lovin'

Reading list for this month includes but not limited too: 

 The Wicked Pavilion by Dawn Powell, for book club.

Walking The Dead Volume 4 & 5, for fun and my love of zombies

2666. I've been reading this every since i heard about it on NPR.

I found the edition that had all 3 books in trade ,instead of lugging around the hardbacks.

I'm really looking forward to cracking this open.Most likely at end of the month.

found a signed copy of Auster's book for cheap so i picked it up.Even though thisis a bad review 

it's such a short book that I read and judge for myself.

Re-reading Nicholson Baker's The Fermata,best porn book ever

Also picked up City of Thieves just based on the cover art..i know lame.

side note: listening to new Clem snide Hungry Bird.It's taking me a few listens to get into.

House is being painted,then i can finish "decorating"

H. leaves me and G. for a week starting Monday.

This will be the longest he's been away from G.

He'll be doing a walking trip along the England Country side with his brothers.

Who are also having new kids in a few months.

This is the brothers bonding trip, not that they need to bond.

They are the most bonded family i know.

They will be out of reach for 4 days..

hope i don't go into pre-labor while he's away.
