Nom de Plume

A few months ago, I bought a mid-century couch from the Fremont Market. It’s been sitting pushed up against a wall and virtually unused … until Sunday. This past Saturday, we went back up to the market (where we ran into a couple I vaguely knew from Boise), and I got another mid-century piece — a teak coffee table. This led to getting rid of one cheapo couch for another.

Steve was worried that it wouldn’t go with the house and then realized that we have such a hodge-podge that it doesn’t really matter. What really matters to me right now is getting the floors redone.

In any case, I’m pleased with the two purchases. They go well together. I’m not convinced about that particular rug and the pillows, but those are small things to switch around. No modern monochrome for us!

On another note, we finally bought a new sink and Steve installed it. The rest of the bathroom is still a mess, especially considering that I’ve taken down all the towel racks and need to mud, Kilz, and paint. It just seems so daunting. Nonetheless, Steve wanted to rip out the kitchen cabinets on Saturday.
