apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

That Wingard wall sculpture also comes as a WREATH... and that SOOOO has my name on it!!

LOVE the idea of the integrated table and chair in the bookcase, but those wonky shelves would drive me, well, wonky.

I think it would be KIND of a fun challenge to find accessories, etc. that had sort of a lean-to-the-side kind of thing about them, so that you could put some museum putty underneath them and make them sit on the shelf looking like they were kind of like treest growing on a hill, who have grown straight up toward the sun! He he he... so that their were completely level, even though their bottoms were angled!

Or you arrange your books on the shelves in such a way that the tall ones where down the lowest part, and the short ones on the highest part of the shelf, so they had level tops.

But, yes... you would have to make some serious adjustments in either what you did with the shelves, or your attitude, to be able to live with this really wonderfully quirky piece!

The "wonky" shelving system brings back memories of watching the stoners in junior high woodshop trying to complete the basic box assignment. I'm still amazed they graduated with all their fingers intact.

Re the surge in bike sales, there was an article in the news sometime back about the Lance Armstrong fans and the growing fanbase of bicycling in general increasing bike sales.

Oh my, the wreath! Oh MY, the wreath! Oh myyyyyyy, the WREATH!

I wish I weren't having a particularly expensive autumn, as that wreath and some of the same vendor's gold-toned pillows are calling out to me.

I have (and love) that pepper mill -- it looks like a diabolical little plunger for an explosive device.

It's more for pepper at the table tho -- you have to work pretty hard to get enough to cook with . . . which is really what one handed pepper mills are great for, stirring and peppering . .
winter is at hand.

Perhaps to offset the seeming frivolous seasonality of that wreath purchase, I think it would be SWEET year-round, if fit with mirror.

This is what we call "enabling." ;)

The Wingard wreath and wall art are in the new Chiasso catalog, too.
