Nothing Much to Say
Well, I don't have much to say right now. So here are more photos of recent additions to the household.
Our new TV cabinet, which replaced the $20 "as is" Ikea stand we bought 10 years ago and the 3 foot high speakers (which weren't even hooked up) that filled the space. It's teak and from Java. I oil it with Old English every few months, which I love because Old English smells like children's aspirin.
A wall hanging from Tibet. Don't know much about it. We bought it a few weeks ago during our trip to DC. We stayed in Dupont Circle and did a little window shopping early Sunday morning. There was an outdoor farmer's market. I bought our host a lovely field flower bouquet. I put a sprig of lemon basil in it - I'm sure it made his entire apartment smell nice.
Cast iron lanterns from aforementioned host. I'll put them outside eventually, but we are currently redoing our stone patio. By "currently" I mean that it should be done next June.
Hope you are well.

i love those cast iron lanterns..i wouldn't mind having a few of those in my back yard..of course, we aren't even at the "re-do" stage there-more like the "waiting for it to totally degrade into chaos"
and i love the wall treatment in your house-argh...reminds me that i have to fix our bathroom and paint it :((
Wow, we have very similar taste in decor. The Tibetan wall hanging, from what I can tell, looks like the depiction of the universe, featuring the seven deities of Buddhism.
Darth - I love the lanterns, too. I've been toying with the idea of refinishing them, but I think I like the rust. Good luck with the bathroom - that's a thankless job.
Phoenix - I suspected that we might like the same things. Thanks for the info about the wall hanging.
but no one has commented on the armoire? It's gorgeous!
Thanks PLD, Ethnics on Bainbridge. You might know their jewelry store. Anyway, they have lots of relatively inexpensive furniture from the East Indies.
Not so much a fan of the antiques. I do love me my Ikea, though.
Yeah, Ikea has had a big place in our lives thus far. Good, cheap design. We're gradually weeding it out, because we've found that it doesn't hold up that well.
