anthro-2.jpg
ah, things to covet in a whole new year. despite being on a new financial budget this year (a much stricter one) i still have time to window shop and dream of a world where i can afford to pick up any piece of furniture from 1st dibs that i want. on this week’s dream list? chairs, anything gold or made of stone (favorites from last year that are still going strong for me), chevron stripes (ditto), and pops of red/pink and yellow. sources for each product are listed below. be back in a bit with more…

[image above, clockwise from top left: antwerp chair in naive tropical $1498, acorn birdhouse $38, 60's brass chest of drawers at 1stdibs (i want this so badly), howard perry rothberg chair at 1st dibs (i want chevron stripes on everything i own right now), congo dining table $1450, 70's tansu chest at 1st dibs, 1880's banded agate locket $160]

[image above, clockwise from top left: high tea cookie stand $98, fiberglass bench by charles eames, 60's wrought iron rocker (i'd love to pair this with a bold madeline weinrib cushion), bottna apron $39, charlotte perriand bar stools (who wouldn't want to sip a cocktail in these?)]

That banded agate locket is killing me. I tried to get one on eBay just before Christmas that looked just like that and I was outbid! AAAHHHHH!

i’ve been wanting that antwerp chair for a few months now but i refuse to pay that price for it. that new upholstery is soooo tempting though.
