the house // G's desk

happy monday, all! i hope many of you had the same gorgeous weekend we were lucky enough to bask in. eric and i spent most of saturday cleaning up the yard and enjoying our furniture-less patio (given how amazing it is to have a backyard after years in a loft, patio wares now trump any other furniture i may have been eyeballing). in fact, much of yesterday involved scouring local furniture stores and the intranets for something suitable.

yet again, we learn that i have expensive taste.

lucky for me, g's desk is one thing that didn't come at a high price. and, ironically, it was exactly what i was hoping to find! side table, desk and vanity all in one.



not in perfect condition, but i tend to like that. i plan to paint the lamp base and might replace the chair with a victoria ghost chair. also still scouring the web constantly for a great poster bed . . . what we end up with will largely determine the bedding.

as always, things are slooooooowly coming along.

  14. So perfect! Could you tell me where the mirror is from? I'm helping redo my boyfriend's bathroom and think this is the perfect compliment to the otherwise uber-bachelor bathroom :)
