Unless I go on the last day, I will miss this at the de Young. I'll see you there October 12!

Timothy Horn

Villa Medusa, in New York.

And then YSL at the de Young November 1 through April. Yeahh Winterbreak!

For Lillian and Bilbo

These are all cakes. Dawaat!

Happy birthday Lillian!!

I finally remembered this year. :) I used to only remember that September 22nd is Bilbo Baggins's birthday. Kind of a big deal though.

I Dream of Cake in North Beach is top notch, yo. I used to walk by everyday. My coworkers are probably keeping an eye out for their amazing window displays. Envious.

Hello to Health Foods Store's reflection - best beets in the world. Even better than Dwight's, I'm sure.

If I had no other marketable skills, I would use my love for food/sweets/pretty things/cake/empty calories to be a cake designy person.

I love you Lillian, Bilbo, and North Beach!

mah rum

Three windows! So much natural light!

The Roomie's:

Uncomfortably phallic vase:

The hydrangeas are different here.

Love the doorknobs so much bahh.

Antique secretary desk in the living room downstairs.

Old Morrisites:

These mail compartments aren't in use anymore, but ohg love them. I would like to have one at home's entryway for shoes, keys, gloves, lip balm, and succulent plants.

So that be Smith. Generally very green, very brick-ish. Brick is uncommon in San Francisco, except for ugly light brown buildings and unfortunate fireplaces.

Really impressed by the food. Extremo heavy. Constant food coma as well as general bloatedness.

Realized how much of a nerdo I am when the first thing I noticed on the cab from the airpor to Smith was how different the leaf shapes/numbers/shades. Promptly went back to watching meter because dude was bound to overcharge, the bastard.

The Unbelievably Gorgeous Building is Seeyle Hall, where I'm going to be taking most of my classes. I feel like Brideshead Revisted, slightly.

you're so vain

There is a time to be vain and it is every morning, every night, and every time you walk by a reflective surface.


Doesn't it seem like every evil wife in movies has a vanity? Her throne for beautifying and for plotting.

The unnecessary and luxurious corners:

These walls are v easily taped and painted. Would be v fun to do.

Mirrored surfaces are pretty huge right now. Fad or not?
I guess all the more surface area with which to look at yourself.
Chair looks bit like mine, but way more gilded, way classier.

Like the vanity/desk itself; chair fugly.

Skirting makes the chair look like Charlotte York, ja?

Lucite could be v nice if you aren't too clutterfull.

From Domino mostly, of course.

let there be light fixtures!

Cannot believe this is $79 + at west elm when really just 30 minute diy project. Glue-soaked twine over a balloon. Dry, pop in a lighting set. For realies!

Canton floor lamp

To be filled. Even though seasonal stuff is annoying, dead branches or fresh flowers could be beautiful in this. Cherry blossoms!
I wonder if liquids would be alright with the cord. Then Jo could do goldfish. Electric eel!

Architect lamp

Baldwin Floor lamp - v much Belle de Jour.

Photographer's task lamp

Also available in tripod. Looks a bit like E.T.

outdoor spaces

Bunch of saris sewn together. Beautiful birdcage - and the chairs are nice, but bit too girly for me.

Weasley tent, anyone?

All the colors are insanely coordinated. And mismatched lanterns are the best.

So expansive. As a sky to keep the sun out!

Ohg!! But I imagine this as a setting for debauchery and unruly activity. Makes me think of Humbert Humbert and Lolita. How pervy of me. Although they wouldn't do this at all.
Or this is what Jake and Brett would have had if they were in Burguete together? Beating up Cohn would be perfect here. Maybe knock over a few candles..raging fire..apocalyptic tragedy --> the Scorching of The Shire? With hobbit waiters!

Definitely love the billowing.

Many of these outdoor spaces were stolenened from Domino.

Outdoor rooms, more than anything.
