Things I Can't Have

I am entusiastically (with undertones of what might be detected as an ever so slight tinge of bitterness) starting a blog portion, "Things I Can't Have" ....due to the misfortune that is my salary. That's okay though. Don't get it twisted, this is a glass half full thing for me. Now I get to pull together all the things I ever wanted in one place. Yay. I should have named this "Things I Can't Have... for Now." There, that's much more optimistic. Damn salary.

Until all my salary woes are solved this will do, just fine.

Love it. Wallpaper has never been so exciting. The double sconce. And the Muse bag hanging of the closet door don't hurt either. Can't think of anything nicer to look at.

Thus began my quest with finding some affordable trellice fabric, for which to reupholster this darn Louis chair I picked up at an antique store. I can't afford to get it reupholstered (my quotes were $780, $745, $650 & $1500...um gah!) I'm trying to work up the gall to DIY.... a whole 'nother animal, whole 'nother post.


Now for something I can have, but am wondering if this is becoming all together too played out? But then again, you'll only be happy with "you" on your walls.... That being said, I think I'll test drive my "For Like Ever" print, and see how it goes. I've long admired the Village Type Co-op. I love the typography and the graphic design is amazing. It reminds me of a Type Hot Air Balloon rising above the pixelated clouds.


If it becomes as ubiquitous as Faux Vintage Urban Outfitter Tees, I'll chuck it in the next incinerator I happen to pass.
