Browsing Fail



NOR Pledges:
  • I will not become a dog blog.
  • I will not become a house blog.
  • I will not become a design blog.
That being said, today we left Calvin at home in his box (a kennel actually but "puppy-in-a-box" sounds like more fun than "angry dog in a crate") and went window shopping. We are soon going to be overwhelmed with space and figured we should start thinking about how we're going to use it.

Yes - I have already put a stop to many of the newf's ideas including 1) a gift-wrapping room "LIKE CANDY SPELLING!", 2) a sci-fi room "pew-pew-pew!", 3) an ironing room because newf = grannie.

As you may have guessed, our window-shopping skills leave a lot to be desired. We came home with the chair and couch that you see at the top of the post...

Why not a sitting room? A comfortable place to read a book while you sip on a martini. Or you could always do a home gym or possilby an archade/game room if you're into that sort of thing.

I've always wanted a really zen yoga room.

Unfortunately mine is an ironing room.

I love the chair!!!

Mike: I think we'd have to very carefully think that one out. a) We end up with ANOTHER room to relax which I suppose you can never have to many of...b) Or if we go the martini room route, I will be found in that room in a pool of my own sick and it's very likely that my mom will never leave.

Tipp: I am neither zen nor a person who does yoga but it'd be nice to pretend! An exercise room could work if I didn't hate it so much.

Carolyne: Thanks to you both! You'll have to come see it over the summer.

Leigh: Extra room is in addition to a planned office/library...maybe you'll get your own room after all.

Forgot to mention that the newf really pulled through and came up with a great concept for our dining room! Just when you think you have someone figured out...

I can't believe you put the kibosh on the sci fi room. What the fuck am I going to do with all this Klingon hair pillows??

Love the chair and couch. Snazzy!

EP said...

Love the purchases! Also, I love the ideas for the extra room, especially the sci fi room. What would one put in there?
