Good stuff to do with all the fabric scraps you have laying around - I know this was helpful for me!
I'm in love with the dark color of this room. Although, for practical use, you really need to have those high ceilings, or it'd feel like you were living in a cave. It's so dramatic, like a darker version of the periwinkle color I loved when I was little. The little island of warm cognac leather looks so inviting against the dark background.
Lately, we've also had a mild obsession with chandeliers. We bought an excellent one on craigslist, like a vintage George Nelson Bubble Lamp, but much cheaper. I don't love that it's not the pure white of the originals (ours is a cream color), but for a difference of 1200 bucks, I can deal. We removed the contractor special in our apartment's dining room and replaced it with our find. We can hardly wait until we have a house of our own with more than one good spot for fun, hanging lighting. We've been eyeing this one (at DWR), but can't quite justify the price tag. $1200...not sure whose Reach that's Within...not ours.
Mark also sent me a link to this sweet car on Wednesday, the new Mercedes electric, gull-wing sports car. Whoa. I might pass out from too much awesome. The original from 1955, and the new version, set to be available in 2010.
