There is a reason I wrote about the power of words yesterday. Because today I am going to share a list of things I want (first world problems). This list is a group of things I cannot get out of my head. I am hoping that by writing out the words and identifying my covetous nature I can let it go.
These things are not what bring me joy. Art, inspiration, digging in the dirt, family… That brings me joy.
So here it is- my list of things if I saw these at a yard sale the car would come to a dramatic screeching halt list:
Pitcher for Tang
(or Moroccan mint iced tea or sangria… whatever)
Atomic glasses. (Okay, really atomic anything, but this atomic pattern and these glasses make me squee.)
two words: Teak Lamp. Floor lamp/table lamp- don’t matta’.
Whaddayaknow?! Teak light fixture. (Also Sputnik, but I don’t have three grand for lighting right now….)
Mugs. They’re geometric, green and they read like Pyrex to me… Mmmmm…. Pyrex…..
Radio. ::swoon:: Bonus points if it comes in turquoise!
Danish teak chair. Pardon me while I fan myself…
Okay. That’s the list. I’m ready to put these things out of my mind.
If you are looking for an update on the window saga, I spoke to Home Depot corporate. Everyone certainly tried to help, but no luck. So we are now 20 days away from a new window and being able to finish the siding! The brick mason comes soon, maybe this weekend? (I’m all for doing everything myself but…. when it comes to trade skills I see that as an art form, I don’t mess around. We contracted with a pro.)
Inquiring minds want to know: were you already into mid-century modern stuff before you ended up in that house? or are you just into embracing things as they come?!! hope you find some fun stuff on the list headed your way– the timing of it right before Mother’s Day and your birthday seems intriguing… Ha! 😉
I’ve always liked clean modern lines but embracing 1960s style was born from the house. Too bad so many Mid Century things are pricey and hard to find, because of Don Draper…
