Slow-Race

Hi guys - I'm sorry there haven't been too many updates - not much exciting has happened recently. I got a fence! But photos of that are very dull! I also got a permit so I can pass my new service inspection! Also a very dull detail!

So here are some details that are not dull:

I have never had a dilemma quite like this: this is the Drake pendant from Rejuvenation. For those of you who are blind and are having my scintillating blog read to you verbally: that is a bat, mid-flight, holding a lantern in his lil mouth while a snake climbs the rod above.

I legitimately cannot find anything wrong with this light except that it is $2105 and that's the entire budget I have for appliances. Where do I put this amazing light that defines my interior life so perfectly? They say things won't make you happy... but I'm pretty sure this thing will, though. Like 90% sure that it's the thing missing from my life. Letting go of my resentments? No. Getting over old loves? Overrated. Inner peace is this light staring me in the face as I wake every morning. It's better than a fulfilling relationship because it only talks to me in my mind. And better than having a family because, again, all the talking is mental.

Subject change.

I have a glorious pair of french doors to distract me now. And yes! That pink stuff is insulation! Did you know that when this house was built in 1960 they felt that bricks were insulation enough and it was not necessary to insulate your home?

That was so boring my cat gave me a resentful look and went to sleep somewhere else. I have been shopping for dull things like doors.

Here they are! As not-dull as I can afford. Still rather dull. Haven't found a front door but I hate shopping for it because I can't have a masterpiece.

Windows go in next week, and we went to Ikea and found some cool cabinets.

They are called Ekestad and I really love them, I'm pretty sure I'm going to get them.

I'm also obsessed with these Superfront Loop Handles

Super sexy, it looks like an outfit accessory. Will they get covered in weird gunk while cooking? Yes. Do I cook? Fuck no, so it's not my problem.

These are SHELF BRACKETS. I love them, they are brass, they are killing me. LOVE them. 

Here's a view of them with a shelf:

Honestly it's perfect.

This shit is coming together in my mind's eye. Too bad it's not coming together in real time to show you cool stuff; right now it feels like a slow race to nowhere.
