crazy awesome adler lamp

I want this. You probably want it too. That's one giant floor lamp.

Jonathan Adler Buenos Aires lamp - $1950

doors of orange

I was going through my honeymoon pictures again tonight and noticed a recurring theme in entrances of hotels in Palm Springs.

Why hello, glossy orange! I think it means something.

P.S. I want all of that hardware.

just in time: orange

A coral-neon-orange is my proposed accent color for the living room and apparently, I'm so very on trend. It's nice when the world manages to recognize my creative genius.

Also, that chrome stool is awesome.

preview: living room mini make-over

Over the next few months, we'll be redecorating our living room. It won't be a MOVE THAT BUS moment at the end, but the room will look a bit more unified, I hope.

Part of my first step was identifying a common theme in some of the stuff I already have. It's funny, I love the Jonathan Adler oh-my-god-bright-colors! aesthetic, but really, I'm from the Midwest. I can't take myself seriously like that, as much as I wish I could.

So here's some of what I have, some of what I'd like, and where I think I'm going.

It'll all make sense eventually. This week I'll show you what I'm working with and it will be painful.
