Prepared to be W-O-W'd: Befores and Afters

 

Did you leave your bottom lip hanging down?
I know I did when I saw these!

Read more at Design*Sponge for details...
but I am totally coveting these gems! 
Makes my scavenger self want to bolt
to the flea market this Sunday! 

 

lust for letters

the type geek in me speaks/lusts/lurks.....

 

I soooo want a laser cutter/engraving machine.
The hours of fun I could have....

(original find on design is mine)

Dish Drainer: Delica

Can we say "how cool is that?"

Totally want one, but that would mean I'd have to remodel my 1987 kitchen".

Damn!

"S" is for sock and "B" is for bra ...

Built by Kent and London: Inspired by vintage printing blocks,
this beautifully finished chest of 26 drawers is made from
solid oak - the perfect place to file everything from A-Z!

So BEAUTIFUL and screams Julia! I want one!

(seen on swissmiss)

urban outfitters: root stool

Handcrafted from salvaged teak tree roots by
skilled villagers in Java, this stool combines Indonesian artisan
culture with sustainability. Can we say: I want one?

a place to rest your laurels

it's been on our to-dos, to look at replacing our very
broken-into sofa which we scored at a warehouse sale
at marshall fields in chicago the spring of 2000.
i think it cost us $450.

it has served us well, and to some, may still look
completely fine and particularly comfortable to
kick up one's heels in.

right now, it's fun to look, which is about all that
we are doing, but being that our home is
"cozy", a multi-functional sofa would be
sensible (for the more than 1 visitor that
may come at any given time).

here's a few that catches our fancy...

Case Study Day Bed with Bentwood

Room & Board's Kinsey Sofa
(though it doesn't address versatility of a bed)

and Ligne Roset's Nomade Express (our friends have one of these and they are VERY well made not to mention stylin'!)

Of course, I couldn't help but page through the new Room & Board catalogue and see some other pieces that make me wish money were no object.

Wegner Sawbuck Chair

Wegner Shell Chair

Eames® Molded Plywood Lounge Chair

...and for the even higher ticketed items that leaves me
daydreaming in my pretend oasis of my dream home . . .

Edo Rocker by Thos. Moser

   

Vita Two Piece Sofa by Thos. Moser

 

 waiting for the lucky lotto jackpot!

beautiful backache battling laptop stand

(*update: they are available here via etsy!!!!)

Thanks Eric and Bre!
