i find that buying things fills a void in my soul and off late buying home improvement goods well... creates a void in my pocketbook.. however that fulfilling feeling after you've dropped shit loads of dough on something you've wanted forever... well, let's just say, nothing compares!
on the home front however, M and i cannot agree on this couch expedition. in my previous, less boho, very frou-frou chelsea apartment, i gave in to a chesterfield couch. but here, i don't want price tags and magazines to define our living space... who am i kidding, i just don't think i have the energy to commit to a big investment like that - and certainly not leather.
i might have settled for something like this from restoration or this from westelm but common sense tells me i don't want to spend 8k on a couch in an apartment in brooklyn when we're moving soon enough. also i inherently disagree with westelm and their ikea replacing concepts.
anyway, the couch we have agreed on is non leather, non suede yet suede-ish microfiber, from an independent seller, local new yorker and completely un-real... it's relatively economical, fits in our apartment, gets delivered, within 24 hours, and.... here's the fun thing, actually doesn't look half bad in our living room... un-believable! i expect the couch to now save the world's children... one country at a time.
that picture is just not the right one but it's the only one i have from right now - i cannot wait to throw an adult party with lots of wine and cheese... naturally, M and i have stopped hissing at each other - she loves being able to behave like civilized people again. hurrah!
