What's Old is New Again...Or Whatever

Ok, so I have zero clue why, but over the past 6 mos or so I've been obsessed with those vintage old school style lockers like the one above. The style is pretty much the complete opposite of EVERYTHING we have in our apt, I don't have room for one, don't need any additional storage space, and honestly have no fucking clue what I'd do with one even if I bought it. 

But, alas: I keep looking, and searching, and asking my husband to hide all of our credit cards whenever I see one.

Elle Decor Loves Brooklyn Too

 I've got some major love for my Brookln borough, and so I was so flattered to be included in Elle Decor's recent round-up of their fave BK spots. 

They asked a bunch of Elle staffers, as well as some Brooklyn bloggers, which places in the borough they just couldn't live without. Some of my blogging buds also contributed: Brooklyn Limestone, Remodelista and Curbed.

Thanks, Elle Decor! Me love you long time. 

And if you ever feel like immersing yourself in the insanity that is my neighborhood in Brooklyn, Park Slope, hop on over to my other blog F'd in Park Slope for a good laugh...or cry.

The Rainbow Connection

Take a good long look at this pic. Are your eyes bleeding now? Brain melting through your ears? Cells jumping out of your body just so that they don't have to absorb those colors for one more hot second?.

Yeah, that's what I thought.

Paint is truly like the gateway drug to interior design. And yeah: most people need to be nominated for an ep of "Intervention."

If you think this crazy paintin shit is uncommon, I'm here to tell you that you are wrong, wronger and wrongest. 

The reason I know this is because I regularly look at real estate ads. LOTS of real estate ads. Real estate ads for houses, across a fairly wide spectrum of prices, in three different states. And the most common feature that all of these houses share, is that a vast majority of these joints look like Rainbow Brite and Lucky the Leprachaun got high, ate bad California Rolls, and then threw up all the hell all over the place.

REVIEW'D: DOMINO QUICK FIXES MAGAZINE

Dudez. 

I cannot even tell you how excited I was to pick up my Domino special edition mag on Friday (hint: I WAS SO FRIGGIN EXCITED!). After trying to pick one up on my way to work ("they haven't arrived yet!" said my magazine stand guy), I ducked out at lunch to try again. 

I took a spin around the store, and...nothing. So I asked my mag pal dude if they had arrived yet. He told me to follow him, and the guy literally pulled out a copy from behind the counter and said "I saved you one...the rest already sold out."

I swear to you, my heart actually started beating faster as I held the slick, shiny papered mag in my hands. I quickly fanned through it and the thing even smelled good. YES! THIS IS HAPPENING! I happily pulled out my eleven fucking dollars (!!) and skipped out the door.
