the craig- A. T. L.

sometimes you really can find some good shit...

1. regency chinoiserie tole chandelier: $275 -a bit pricey but have you see what some of these go for on ebay and other places?? plus, it's craigslist...talk that shit down! this is great white but could take just about any color and look amaze..




2. 4 vintage thonet bentwood chairs!! - $200 for all 4! whhhhaaa??? these are classic chairs. perfect for a breakfast nook. they are asking to be painted turquoise or acid yellow.


3. antique settee and chair-$300. i'll bet you could get 200 for the settee and 100 for the chair if you split them up. they have great lines. but really that settee needs a little black and white striped upholstery love and she will sing.



4. pair of brass restoration hardware sconces- $50!! for real these are mine!


5. 2 leaning bookcases- $150 for both. i think these would be great in a walk in closet for scarves, purses, or even your shoes.



6. settee- $210. love this. hard to tell if the upholstery is dirty or just ugly..or maybe in person it's not so bad. either way it's a great price, although really with extra 10 bucks? what's that all about? you could always upholster it or have it cleaned. i want a proper entry so that i can put a settee in it!


7. D'OH! crystal chandelier- $135!!! that price is sick folks. i want want want this soooo bad. for my middle room, my living room, my bedroom, my bathroom, my daughter's room and my hall.


8. mid century coffee table- $40! it's hard to tell if this is really shit or not..but i though the shape was unique and the pattern on top appears chevron-ish. for 40 bucks you could so buy it and paint it if the finish was bad.


9. victorian couch- $250. again, you could probably get it for 2 and with the right fabric this is a showstopper. look at those lines in the 2nd picture..gorgeous!



10. draper-era desk- $60!! this obviously needs refinishing and new hardware. yes, you could paint it too. how about black with shiny gold hardware? or if it were me i would totally let a pro strip it and then stain it to a pretty wood finish. for 60 bucks you could do anything..



11. wrought iron garden chairs (4)- $250. these are too awesome for words. i want them in my (pretend) garden. now.


hope you enjoyed my finds!! and don't forget to visit susie and her finds, she is great at spotting mid century treasures.

sarah and me

this is my friend sarah baker. she is an actress in LA and she and i did improv together here in atlanta for a coon's age. tonight she will be on The Office. sarah is the funniest person in the world. seriously.
below is my actor's reel from those improv days. you can see sarah and i in several improv scenes together as well as a few embarrassing moments from me.
enjoy...(i am the one wearing a wig in virtually every scene )

don't forget to watch the office tonight hookers!!!!!!!!

peeing rainbows...

it's on!!!! my best friends are back. you can poke fun of me all you want "best friends...ppsshh....sad"..but they are like my besties. i'm like the deaf, mute bestie that sits behind a screen. when any of them look at the camera, they are looking at me. you see.
ok, i am kidding. i am not that pathetic. but of all the housewives, the new york batch are the ones i love the most. and if i HAD to choose a batch to run around with it would be these ladies..tell me you wouldn't want to be friends with jill and bobby zarin. you'd be lyin'!
anyway...season 3 airs tonight at 11 on bravo. here is a recap of kelly and bethenney's best moments. plus a little sneak peak at the end.




**a commenter from youtube sums up the beast that is kelly pretty accurately:

"This is what happens when you confront a Narcissist. Nothing gets through to them and the Narcissist goes on the attack, refusing all blame until enventually one finally gives up in confusion at the N's obtuseness. Narcissists are complicated, unpredictable, and hopeless emotional vampires who serve only themselves - I salute the way this plucky gal handled it. Reality Television is crawling with people with this misunderstood disorder."

dear spring and summer (an open letter):

dear spring and summer,
hi. i hope you can hear me from australia or wherever the fuck you are..look, they (the australians) are probably well tired of your muggy ass and are wistfully thinking of roaring fires and hot, steamy cups of whatever..

but we here in the US of muthafuckin A (and probs france, sweden, and the rest of europe too) are dreaming of warm sun on our cheeks (either ones), soft grass under our feet, prosecco in the garden...

a shady place to hide...

a cool, quiet nook to listen to birds or unicorns..

open doors and white painted floors...

fresh strawberries that don't taste like my butt..

summer...sinks..

meals outside...

a walk in the country after a summer shower...
(to get your mail...and everyone else's)

lilacs, DUH!!!!!

the beach...

and this beach house especially with its black and blue awesomeness...

what about a lakehouse, spring and summer? don't you want me to go to a lakehouse with friends and drink wine and eat food all day followed by swims and campfires?

i would sleep here. i am always the smartest when it comes to room picking at share houses. look at those black shades. that means darkness in the morning...

see? that house wouldn't be so awesome if it was 32 degrees outside.
nor would this chair and peachapplepearorange?? tree..

ok spring and summer i hope i have helped you to understand how important it is for us americans and europeans to be warm soon. we are pretty powerful nations and after an overly long winter and too much fucking snow i daresay we are becoming dangerous. ever heard of cabin fever? yeah. it fucking sucks dingdongs.

best lamps ever?

ok, that's debatable. but i DO love them. what are they called? where can i get one? are they stupid expensive? are there knock offs?
help me obi wan(s)..

let's DO this!!!!

it fucking snowed again today and i am about to start perioding. that right there is either a recipe for disaster or a recipe for a bath time party!!!!

from left to right..lavender flowers, pink rose petals, red rose petals, lavender bath salts, sea salt and sea weed scrub.

throw it all in here and add hot as farts water:

followed by some of this:

and this!!!!

the best way to turn me from murderer into kitten is hot water, wine and good tv.....fyi.

oscar feeeevah...

this sunday is the oscars and i need help picking out a dress..


is this one too much?.. look at that color though!!!


this one would look amaze on me..it would be good for my jugs, slenderize my arms and give me good waist...plus green on blondes is pretty. brunettes too, but i think better on blondes...(don't hate brown haired girls).


what about this one??? perhaps too much for oscar.. it is spectacular..


mmmm....this one is good too. but those boob cups on me would border on porno. 'member mariah carey at the globes??


and i can't stop staring at this face...

so i will surely be watching on sunday pretending i am in one of these numbers...and i hope the oscar bitches wear pretty. usually they wear ugly or boring or safe. i predict lots of champagne colored frocks and lots of one shouldered numbers, plenty of pretty jewelry and less spray tan.

and as always i will be here on monday with the fashion recap..

3 very different rooms to eat in

i lerve the eames-y chairs mixed in with the bentwood chairs..the nelson bubble..the painted for her pleasure floor...the table setting...it's lovely:


and this one too...clean, modern, rustic, relaxed, elegant...it sugars my almond:

this one is also yums. dark walls, white and green..a lady boner maker:

which one do you prefer?

the first is from nesting newbies, second is your dad vincente wolf the other is from your mom the curator (aka i don't fucking know)

monday color combo: the garden edition. sub category: countdown to spring.

countdown: 19 days
