HOME PROGRESS + A HAPPY WEEKEND LIST

09 December 2011



I'm making some progress in my new home. Books now have a home on the Helix bookcases in our media room which is where we'll be living for the most part. The actual living room is proving to be a huge challenge because of its size. We need a new set of pretty much everything. I think I have an idea of the sofa I want. I found this yesterday at H.D. Buttercup for $1450. But I'm also really drooling over West Elm's Chester sofa. I'm looking for anything tufted with clean lines. It doesn't help my search when thrift stores and Craigslist are being sticks in the mud lately.

Christmas seriously needs to slow its roll. I have a lot, a lot, A LOT of decorating to do. First, I need to get a tree this weekend. Talk about trees, like my lil guy I put up over there? Old Brand New is getting festive!

+ Aimee Man Christmas show Saturday (holiday ritual)
+ Get your holiday craft on at Renegade Craft Fair in LA this weekend.
+ Inspiration overload from My Future House
+ Yummy sweets from Matchbox Kitchen
+ Rose Bowl flea market Sunday

That's about it. Have a wonderful nutty weekend!

  11. Are those Murakami novels I see in the corner? I love his books!
    Home decorating is so exciting, can't wait to see more.

    Btw I give my vote to the West Elm sofa. Looks so much cosier :)
