BBQ weather is here!  My man was out of town for his real birthday last week so this weekend I'll be throwing him a birthday BBQ party.  So far I'm thinking grilled salad (maybe chicories), buffalo burgers, and grilled ahi skewers, oh and tons of grilled veggies and all that jazz...wow I'm hungry.

Subtle pops of color for a rainy day.

They somehow made the large rustic table and Hans Wegner wishbone chair combo look fresh and new in this space...love.

Music for a lazy Monday.

I saw The Kids Are Alright a few weeks ago and can't get the sunny, relaxed, masculine Echo Park bungalow of Mark Ruffalo's character Paul out of my head.  I want a sunny bungalow!

Cute as a button home of toy designer Joel Henriques.

Loving the light wood and clean lines of the Starling chair.  I recently purchased a wegner-esque rope chair with a light wood finish and decided it would be a good idea to sand the dark stain off my existing mid-century chair to match. (Note to anyone about to attempt this; it's not fun or easy, I only got to the arms and threw in the sander so to speak).  Anywho I will finish the sanding but I'd much rather grab this guy, throw a sheep skin on it and call it a day!
