happily, when I opened my pantone gift this morning to discover the color of the year, it already matched my Eames chairs! Here's a pic: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150396276756863&set=a.10150202441376863.310806.526596862&type=1&theater


Pantone's Color of the Year for 2012
12/8/11 2:18 PM

Sooo, I have been following the "year in bed" religiously, and relied heavily on it for my mattress decision in June. I moved to a new apartment and got rid of most of my previous furniture to start anew, including the mattress. I am lucky to be in NYC, and was able to try a Keetsa, which almost had me sold. I was concerned about the foam though- worried that it would be too hot, and was worried about off-gassing. In the end I went with a NaturaWorld mattress- their Serene Lux. After being told that I would have may mattress in two weeks, and then waiting over 2 MONTHS for it, I was ready to tell them to forget it, refund my money, and I would just go down to soho and return home same day with my mattress from Keetsa. Just when I was ready to do that, NaturaWorld scheduled my delivery. I DO love the feel of the latex, and I LOVE the smell of the wool in the topper. I am sleeping great. But, I am still a bit frustrated with the company. I decided to also get one of their washable wool comforters... and am going on 2 months of waiting for that too. The worst part is that they lead you to believe they can deliver faster. I began to wonder if it was a scam (they took my money when I ordered.... and then were very slow to answer emails or calls). So, for those of you perhaps making a mattress decision, take this into consideration. I would go Keetsa if I had to get a new mattress now.

Bicycle prints! They are from an amazing artist, and friend of mine, Taliah Lempert. Like Scott, whose awesome bungalow we are looking at, she is a Brooklyn cyclist. Here is her full website: http://www.bicyclepaintings.com/
She also does commissions if you want a painting of YOUR bike!
