Sitting at: Braxton Trestle Desk

I love the sawhorse-like look of the Braxton Trestle Desk from Target, like you just grabbed what you could from the basement workshop to hold up your computer.  Of course it looks much nicer than my dad's beat up sawhorses.

Bundled in: Yumi & Laurie BlanQuettes

These bright colored blankets, called BlanQuettes, are from Yumi and Laurie.  They kind of look like giant towels, but soft enough to cuddle up with.  And I love this pattern, called Nevis, simple, cheerful, and chic.  I think it's definitely what I need now that it's getting chilly and I refuse to turn the heat on until at least November.

Purring in: Kittypod

So this Kittypod from Vitamin D has a really similar base as an Eames La Chaise chair.  While I couldn't afford one, at least my cats could live in a little bit of luxury.  Plus, it's cardboard, which every cat loves to destroy.  I just hope you can buy a replacement pod because my cats would eat through that in a flash.

Looking at: Perspective Mirror

This Perspective mirror from CB2 reminds me of something the designers tried to do on Top Design a few episodes ago.  Of course, when it's done right and not in a rush it looks completely better.  I don't know that it would be really functional with every face at a slightly different angle, but it would be really interesting to put a bunch of candles in front of it and see where the reflections go.

Loving: Michael Arras

I love this coffee table from Michael Arras' Etsy shop.  It looks like river rocks, but the rich wooden tones make it warm and organic.

Sleeping On: Chateau Bed

I love the rich heirloom quality of the Chateau Bed from Graham and Green.  It looks like it once belonged in a castle in France.  I'd put it in a room with little to no other furniture, just the bed and maybe a big mirror leaning against a wall.

Loving: An Animal Calendar


I love the animal prints on this calendar at StorybyMia's Etsy shop.  You couldn't really jot down appointments or birthdays, but it's too cute to mark up.
