I FOUND A COUCH FABRIC FOR $30/YARD HALLELUJAH! /o/ the price of my couch is now LESS THAN HALF of what the original (and heart-palpitating) bid was. \o\ i also think i might like this one better. :D certainly, i won't care as much when i spill my coffee on it (which is an inevitability). this sofa thing was reallllllly stressing me out. omg, a weight has been lifted off my chest. i can breathe again. horrah.
the pattern (a brown & teal floral print) matches perfectly with my walls and is just the right ratio of granny/chic - which i've come to realize is my design style. i tend to lean toward accents from the olden days (like white, porcelain handles on the bathroom faucets and hideous wallpaper), but with a more current twist. or something.
in other house news: the hardwood floors went in yesterday! and on wednesday i went to the fabric mart in downtown LA and found this gorgeous stripped teal silk for my living room drapes, and a simple textured white fabric for the office curtains. also, last weekend we transplanted various flowers and grasses from my mom's yard into my side yard, and they seem to be adjusting okay. productive days have been productive! i really do hope to post pictures one day. i just have this problem where i run out of petrol and splat into bed most days, where wielding a remote is almost more than i can handle.
this weekend to-do's:
*plant clumping bamboo
*tear out roses and miscellany from main back garden to ~start fresh~
*purchase kitchen pendant light
*look for area rugs & a chair
*revist thrift stores for desk, dresser, armoire options
*blog? aha ha heh
*sleep
happy weekending, flisters! i keep forgetting it's easter on sunday, because i don't really celebrate it anymore. being non-religious, it's always felt like a holiday for kids - as it was for me growing up - easter baskets brimming with jelly beans and chocolate bunnies and easter egg hunts, etc. but i'm no longer a kid, and i don't have any kids, so... yeah. it's pretty much a sunday. WHICH AIN'T HALF BAD. /o/
