yummy.

rosamware - those are two chaise lounges pushed together and clamped from underneath so they don't come apart. they are ikea kramfors. and yes, the attic is the same color as the kitchen, ralph lau...

love it. going sweater-hunting.

no dogs on the couch! unless i want to take a nap with them. or cuddle. or they're on a blanket. or on top of me. or they ask nicely. or look sad. or i'm cold. or one's in my lap and t...
