Today I'm rounding up a handful of images that get me a little... excited. As much as I love sleek, sexy metallics and the cool sheen of smoked glass, I always need to have a least a touch of wood around me to feel totally at ease. Wood is warm -- it feels good to the eye. Whether rough and rustic or smooth and refined, it's always a sensory pleaser.

You know you want some wood.
Still no credenza in sight for the technocordy crapfest that's hanging out in our living room. I thought I had a contender, but the seller turned out to be a flake. Douche. The upside is that I have found a few entertaining tidbits on craigslist, and I'm posting my favorite today:
Vintage Upholstered "Cat" Chair
And I quote: "More a decorative piece than utilitarian. Covered in red velveteen with pleated skirt and faux furry cat on back. This chair wobbles a bit; should be glued. Sold as is."
You know, if they throw in those curtains, I will call Bonanza on this "cat"ch.
Happy Friday!
Lately life has handed me quite a few lemons: literally - my husband's new van stopped working and figuratively - my interwebs are haunted. I guess I'm supposed to find a way to make lemonade, but with all that sugary tartness I'm not so motivated. Art duo Ghost of a Dream stumbled upon a bunch of lemons in the form of a pile of losing lottery tickets. The pair took it among themselves to consider the nature of the lottery, the things we desire, and the anticipation of the win followed by the inevitable loss. Then, they made lemonade:
