No fancy post today, for the babe is bubonic sick and my throat is swollen up like a basketball. Instead of struggling to shower you with wit information words of any kind, I’m just going to imagine that I’m here:

I’m a huge fan of pretty much all of Ilse Crawford’s work, and her renovation of the Dinder House is grand yet eminently livable. So if Calgon is going to take me anywhere, I hope this is it.

Happy Weekend, friends! Back Monday, hopefully in better form.

    Boo for being sick. I’m still sick from last week. It sucks. Don’t be like me and go out drinkin’ anyway. Somehow I’m guessing Ike will stop you from being dumb.

    PS- that green cabinet in the first shot on the pedestal? I kinda hate it and kinda want to make something like that myself.

    Ilse is rad. So is the color on the walls. Not to be a cliché, but…j’adore.

    There is too much to love in these rooms. I want chairs in every color around my table and friends to fill them.

    Welcome, Faberuna — I absolutely agree (especially about the friends!).
