Ten beautiful seating options from our man in Connecticut:
Dimensions and pricing after the jump!

This mid-century modern Italian lounge chair features gorgeous lines and wood-and-metal construction. It measures roughly 36 inches tall, 24 wide, and 32 deep. A few very minor scuffs on the arms and legs.  $325.

This Sherrill arm chair is wrapped in beautiful chartreuse patent leather. It needs some attention at its seams but is in otherwise flawless shape; no tears. $150.
On to the stools!
The two adjustable square-top stools (left and center) measure 15 inches across and 17-25 inches tall. $70 each, $120 for the pair.
The formerly-adjustable stool at right (it’s lost its extendable legs) measures 15 inches across and 23 inches tall. $60.
Oh what a top! This oil-soaked-wood beauty with Scovill green base measures roughly 14 inches across, 13 deep, and 26 tall as pictured, but can be adjusted about two inches higher or four inches lower. $95. 
This unique black splay-legged stool measures 30 inches tall and 13 inches across its top. $90.
The grey guy on the left measures 13 inches across its top and can adjust from about 24 to 30 inches tall. $60.
The rusty-backed fellow in the middle measures 13 inches across its top and anywhere from 23 to 27 inches tall (plus 13 more to account for the back). $110.
And the grey-backed gentleman on the right measures 13 inches across its top as well, and anywhere from 17-24 inches tall (plus a regal 14 more for its back). $100.

Scovill Green Dresser

Last Friday we took a little day trip up to Morris CT to visit a new friend we met at Brimfield. Boy was it worth it. Here’s a little peek into one of his barns:

barn full of industrial factory cleanout goods, vintage and antique finds, in connecticut

And that’s only one of four aisles in one of his barns.

Best of all, everywhere you look there are patches of our favorite color: Scoville green. Our friend occasionally does factory cleanouts for Scovill, a one-time giant of American industry who used to paint all their work benches, trash cans, wood trim, etc., the most perfect light green color you can possibly imagine:

tall drawers in scovill green, ammo boxes, and other industrial goods

So as daylight faded we started filling up our Uhaul trailer. Stools, chairs, drawers, pink Pyrex, and tons of Scovill green.

But our favorite piece?

This beautiful work bench has one door and eleven drawers of varying size, all of which slide nicely. Extremely unusual construction from gorgeous old pine. It measures 56 inches wide, 42 tall, and 29 deep.

$950. Email us here with questions, or check it out in our etsy shop!

And if we had any more space in our little apartment, we’d keep it for ourselves forever.

Dear rainy Thursday plus working at home for too many days straight,

You’re the worst. Oh, what I wouldn’t give for a place to be at 9am tomorrow.

It’s so nice to be in charge of your own time, until that actually happens and even though there is stuff that has to get done, you are a total pushover of a boss and can’t seem to get your “employee” to be very productive.

“Hey, there’s a ton of work to get done, but you know, take your time. Do it when you’re ready. Why don’t you look around on Spotify for a bit until you find just the right music to suit your mood?”

Why aren’t there places where people all go to get things done? They could all show up at the same time and dress to impress each other, and talk about problems they are running into. There’d be a little teasing and goofing around, but they’d be in an environment dedicated to actually getting things done. Maybe they could even grab lunch together to decompress a little. Grab a 2:30 coffee. The possibilities are endless! At the end of the day, when they know that nothing else is going be accomplished, everybody closes their laptops, gives one of those swift dusting of the hands motions, and says “Alright, that’s it for today. Anybody want to go to happy hour?”

Oh, if only if only if only.

Wasting Paper and Writing Nonsense

While packing up boxes and boxes of vintage books during our recent move, I somehow stumbled upon this amazing snippet about New York City.

In real life this is just a stack of books and shells, but this picture makes it feel like a little work of art.

And I sort of totally love it.

Ah, Brimfield is an overwhelming blast, but how wonderful it feels to be back in beautiful Brooklyn.

Though to be honest I almost thought our van was going to die on the way up, (if you saw this thing, you’d know what I mean) we made it home safely with a refreshed farmer’s tan and a New York apartment sized haul.

Finds will be trickling onto our etsy page, so be sure to check things out there over the next few weeks. In the meantime, take a peek at our favorite vintage find, a 1920’s clothes parcel that looks like it came right off a movie set. Or I guess more appropriately, right out of the 1920’s.

Perfection.

I always forget that during a design project things usually get worse before they get better.

Dealing with a completely empty sun-filled apartment is no problem. But then you drag all of your boxes of stuff up four flights of stairs and there’s no where to walk and suddenly leaving the house and never coming back seems like a pretty good idea.

Right now things at our place look like this, which pretty much makes my head explode.

I swear the pictures aren’t doing justice to the chaos, because somehow the place still looks pretty great, but take my word for it. Setting up the apartment to look adorable feels like a huge daunting task instead of a super fun project, which makes me doubt myself and every single thing in my life. Luckily, Percy didn’t snap any pictures of me crying on the couch in a panic as proof of this fact, but that doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.

However, what I know now (that I didn’t always realize in the past) is that I always get to this point, and the only thing to do is push through push through push through. You just need to start somewhere with something, really anything, and create that tiny pinprick of hope.
