happy holidays!

If you follow this blog at all, you might notice a pattern over the last 3 years. During the holidays, TC and I like to get out of town. I mean really get out of town. This year is no exception, and we're hitting the road to Morocco on Christmas morning! We'll be in Marrakech for 5 days, and then fly to Amsterdam for 3 days....a quick trip, but long enough to feel the 80 degree sunshine in Morocco and the snow in Amsterdam. And hopefully find a few treasures along the way!

I predict photos of camels and sunshine will appear on this blog very soon....until then, wishing all of you a very happy holiday season, and a very Happy New Year!

a gift to our friends and clients in the NY area...Stella!

A treat to our clients and friends in the NY area...we have an extra, perfectly gorgeous and brand new (still in the box) Stella shelf that was mistakenly sent to our receiver in NY this week. It costs a fortune to send it back, so would you like to have it, if we were to make you a sweet deal?

some days you're the bug, some days you're the windshield

so yeah, it's been a while since i posted anything....things have been insanely busy at the shop with new clients, new orders, and a few really wonderful projects. things have been good, great even, but you know how sometimes it feels like the sidewalk is tilted just a little bit and even though you can't put your finger on it something is just off? yeah, that's pretty much how it' s been for me lately. just a little off. maybe i need a cupcake. regardless, here's the latest and greatest....all the news at the maison.

zoe bear turned 14 last sunday...iiiiiii know! amazing, right? she is and has always been the perfect doggie. 3 days ago we went into mud bay (a seattle pet shop) to get her a new snazzy bed, and she wasn't having it AT ALL. she stood by the door looking outside and refused to try any of the beds, and refused any treats that were offered as bribery (highly unusual). sigh....persnickety much, zoe? jeez. whatever, i win! (how cute is she in her new donut bed!?!)

also, in seattle we have had two seasons here this year - extreme winter, and construction. every where you go in seattle roads are torn to shreds, and it's so LOUD. i really hate it. this morning i was driving to work and noticed a group of bad ass looking construction guys standing around in a circle and being my cynical (before coffee) self i thought 'oh, no wonder it takes so long to pave the roads!' but guess what they were doing? no, really....guess. THEY WERE PLAYING ROCK-PAPER-SCISSORS. i am not even joking. our tax dollars are hard at work people, hard at work.

{room of the week 8.20.09}

yes, that is my room of the week photo up there. (before you call me, let me just say that none of what you see here is available on our website, sorry to say) this is a 'before' shot of a project we're working on in seattle's queen anne neighborhood....you're going to have to sit down when you see the 'after'. stay tuned!

in other news, i am going to cannon beach this weekend and hope to be refreshed and tan when i return on monday. zoe too, minus the tan. peace out.

for your entertainment...

quick back story: i am on the hunt for an antique farm table / library table for my dining room. last night, i came across one that looked promising online, and the person listing it said "reply via text to the number listed". for your entertainment, here is the text conversation that ensued:

______________________________

me: hi! do you still have the antique farm table you listed tonight? if so, i'd love to see it. let me know.

response: which table? we listed a few. what are the dimensions. (BadReindeer)

me: hi. the dimensions weren't listed in your ad, but it's the one you listed at 10:11pm. looks like a curved trestle base, huge table. yes??

BadReindeer: oh yeah, that one is 4'x2'. (okay, let me just interject here - the table in the photo was HUGE, no way it was 4'x2')

me: oh, darn - it's too small. thanks anyway! (we go back and forth a few times about the size of the table, etc...BadReindeer (!?!) assures me the photo of the table is in fact 4'x2')

BadReindeer: no problem. if you change your mind, i can throw in a 3 year old, a cd changer, and 3 pull-ups. let me know.

me:.........
