While the husband was on vacation, 

fishing his life away, drinking A LOT of red bull, 

getting no sleep, and loving life.

I was busy, "Buying my happiness while he was away" haha
But seriously, i had nothing better to do! (excuse, cough cough)

But in all seriousness.
Look above at my lamp. I have spent literally YEARS looking for this thing.
Most of the ones i had found were so expensive, and ridiculous for me to justify in buying.
Until i found this one. Its from the 70's and is straight up awesome.
There is a foot pad to turn the light on, and it arcs so nicely over my sofa.
And you know when you have had something in mind for a certain space for
SO LONG. And then you find it. And you feel so excited for that thing.
Ya, i feel so excited we have united. FINALLY.
AND yes. i am a dork.

Then i bought this bench. 

How awesome is it, if you notice, the slats move out.

Notice the first, then the second picture. 

Which is pretty similar to a George Nelson bench, with out the high expense.

I think I've had my dose of Mid Century Modern furniture for awhile now.

I have 3 pieces to fix up a bit. Now its just doing the work.

These are some bottles that i have been collecting that 

finally have been put to good use. 

Poor Zak, he sometimes doesn't get my collections. 

But hey, in the end they work out just the way i want them to. 

 

And this picture is for my friend at work. 

She has been wanting to see my black and white stripes 

I painted in my Bathroom.

Everything is still a work in progress, but its getting there. 

They were a total pain to do, but i like the results.
