As my sister got off the bus the other day, right outside of our condo building, she overheard the bus driver telling another passenger:"I like that building. That's a nice-looking building."
Then she noticed that he was pointing at our building. And I recently helped choose the exterior paint color for our home!
For these reasons, I, Cardboard, declare this a Design Boner.
Moving forward with our tape obsession (trace the pathology HERE, HERE, and HERE), I found Message Tape. I don't think I need to point out to you all the endless fun you could have with such a simple but ingenious product.
I will tell you that I only wish I had had some of this on-hand while angrily waiting for my EX to come pick up his stuff. Lost opportunities are so sad.
It's sunny and the temperature is over 45 degrees today. That means it's time to daydream of outdoor furniture and Johnny Depp and Christian Bale as our personal pool boys!
Big - HUGE - news, everyone! I'm moving to Toronto! I can't believe I kept my mouth shut this whole time but I'm a big believer in jinxes so I could spare no hints. After work tonight, I finally got the word that it's a done deal! Sorry I'm babbling but...yippee!Long story short, I got a big fancy job with a company that begins with a T- and ends with an -ime Warner. That was the final piece of the puzzle I was waiting for. So now that that's done, I can get to the fun stuff like...I put in an offer on this adorable little place! The alley next to the house isn't ideal but it's an honest-to-goodness house (!) and it's in a sweet neighborhood that reminds me a little of Brooklyn (with the occasional French speaker).Once I get to my new hometown, I can check out the stunning Elgin & Winter Garden Theatres (above, left) or walk around Toronto's underground city. Of course, I'll be hitting up the Bata Shoe Museum (below, left) and the Ontario College of Art & Design (above, right). I'll spend my free time shopping for upholstery in the Fashion District and passing holiday weekends at icewine vineyards near Niagara. Mostly though, I'll just admire my new skyline (below, right).To celebrate (and because my new job is cushy), I snapped up this Danish Teak Dining Table on Ebay!
Should I pair it with the glitzy CB2 Bandit chairs (on left) or the curvy Queen Annes from Pottery Barn? I seriously can't believe this is all happening...!Hardy ha, did I fool you? I almost fooled myself for a second there. And...sigh...now there's a part of me that wishes this wasn't a prank (because it's all stuff that I like).
