1. art that looks like melted candy please.
2. suzani + plaid is dirty sex.
3. pink and gold chair? what what?
maureen's louisville craigs...
it's been a while since i posted a craigslist search for a client...
mainly out of fairness to the client..
i don't want a bunch of you knuckleheads snatching up all the good shit i find before the client has a chance to!
i just said 'client' 3 times.
anyway, this time is different.
maureen doesn't live in louisville yet.
she is moving there and this is sort of a trial run.
here criteria was this:
"I like nice! Simple antiques - not too much mahogany - lighter. Biedermeier. Traditional - some contemporary. I don't like cheap or mid-century modern. I am not nearly as clever as you are with the sanding and painting, so any item would have to be redone by a craftsman"
great price.
new upholstery yes. and fast.
wingback chairs- $100 for the pair
again great price.
the upholstery isn't the worst ever. depending on your room i suppose this teal green could work. a couple of leopard pillows on both would help their cause.
great rug. a classic. offer 100.
love it.
modern, interesting, good.
would work well with traditional furniture.
keep it from looking too stiff...and traditional.
marble top, brass base table- $25
cute. not cookie cutter. price=amazing.
unique french country bench- $80
cute for a kids room. spray paint it. new upholstery.
talk that price way down.
nice shape.
add some bright pillows.
love it. you could paint it a pretty gray blue...
or leave it as is. just polish it up.
great as a desk or as a bedside table/desk or even in an entry.
offer 200.
i want this so very badly.
living room, dining room, entry, bedroom...whatever.
this this rocks and it's only 150 dollars!!!!?!?
vintage red and white metal table- $10
greatness.
kid's bedside table.
bathroom storage.
this woman has a bunch and they are only 40 dollars.
and they are very cute. for that desk up there, duh.
or flanking your fireplace, doubleduh!
such a pretty piece.
i am fairly sure i would take the mirror off and either use it as a desk or bedside table/vanity and/or get a new mirror. the original feels too heavy.
great shape. very unique piece.
i am dying to see the bottom close up.
i would definitely upholster it immeds.
in an entry. this fabric:
i think this is the same woman who does the animal print chairs.
they re cute, no?
cuteness.
so unique and pretty.
guest room.
you could do a whole room around this most awesome bed.
this chair looks like tortoiseshell and it's making me a little sweaty.
buy this. now.
35 dollars.
are you fucking kidding me?
are YOU fucking KIDDING ME?
that shit is worth waaaaaaaay more than 150 dollars.
i love louisville craig!!!!!
people are charging craigslist prices not 1st dibs prices.
that is refreshing.
and good for maureen.
yesterday and the future
me and freckles had an awesome lunch yesterday.
we both split a pretzel with some kind of cheesy mustard butter.
he thought it was good, i thought it tasted like buttholes.
the pretzel however was yummy.
warm, fresh, salty...
have it's babies.
we talked.
about being famous.
decorating.
vaginas.
blogs.
lame comments.
like commenters who ask a question when the answer they seek is actually written in the post.
we both hate that.
we looked at awesome (expensive) rugs at verde home.
i want to have lunch with him at all times.
brian is:
tall.
really, really smart.
really, really funny.
he talks really fast.
like meth fast.
his eyes are the color of caramel.
no, really...never seen anything like it.
we are gay for each other.
there is more to come from this magical pairing.
so stay tuned.

today
how do you top the greatest blog post of all time?
do i pull a ricky gervais and leave after only 2 seasons of extras?
an amanda bynes, retiring at age 12?
look at halle berry-
after her oscar for monster's ball she went on to do catwoman.
i don't want to give you catwoman.
but it seems too anticlimactic to go back to talking about pretty rooms...
i pondered talking about my boobs:
those things are beasts!!!
but i don't really want to talk about my boobs, do you?
i mean, if you want to we can.
we can discuss how cheap clothes don't fit and i can't afford nice clothes so i cry every time my 15 dollar bra breaks.
or no matter what i wear i look like a slut. or a fat, homeless person.
if i could churn out awesome videos all day every day i would. but that shit takes time. and i am not the one who has to do the hard work. mike is, and he wants bj's in return. and at the end of the day who wants to give a bj?
nope.
it's back to posting about pretty rooms.
jizzing on cupcakes.
pictures of fiona being awesome.
housewives and their dumb lives.
and just general, boring coolness.
symmetry. good.
kids room. good.
fur blanket. plaid pillows. good.
nate berkus why'd you jerk us?
