daydreaming about pretty home furnishings--

i still get caught up dreaming of outfitting my [someday] farmhouse from anthropologie's house & home furnishings. i love the assumed clash of rustic and industrial and fancy and homey pieces thrown in a room together. that kind of mishmash excites me and sends my heart and soul into a flurrying tizzy; much more than a house that looks like it fell off the pages of potterybarn or an interior designer's portfolio.

these are some of my favourites for lighting and textiles for the living areas. oh, and that desk. that's not a textile or light fixture. it's simply magnificent and that's enough.

milk and toast -- a favourite and most nurturing combination. I like my milk ice cold with a straw (one of those cute paper straws with red stripes), or steaming hot, flavoured with a little vanilla and a lot of cinnamon. my toast -- usually two slices at once, and oftentimes flanked with apple slices or cheddar cheese -- is buttery and crunchy.

while growing old together with this blog, and watching it evolve, I've found joy in the milk and toast of my life, and have carved out a little place in the world wide web to record it. stick around, read a few entries -- perhaps you'll find something you love or can relate to.
