oh i forgot to mention i got THE COOLEST chair today.  Since reading all these design blogs i've gotten really into mid century modern furniture.  yes, i'm a douche.  Anyways these things are sort of easy to come across here and they are usually really cheap since no one gives 2 shits about danish furniture.  So anyways i was at a house party a few weeks ago when i saw the most awesome chair!  so it turns out the people were graduating and moving and through some facebooke exchanges we struck a deal.  here it is.  

the chair next to it is gonna go in my kitchen in my breakfast nook.  So i have mixed feelings about the plaid since it's pretty ugly, albeit unique.  but it also just doesn't go with my aesthetic so i was at target today and found THE LAST orla kiely tablecloth so i thought about reupholstering it with this.  Either that or i'm contemplating some sort of really cool orangy yellow.  now i just need to find a sweet couch!  emily i want yours!  

i'm also looking for a new credenza which i think will be pretty easy to find at the barnyard antique mart.  aaaanyways i just have to learn how to sew so i can redo this chair.   project!!
