Etsy Furniture!

We're in the process of purchasing our first home. With the financing and the interviewing of a buyers agent, and scouring listings for homes we'd like to visit, it's a long and crazy ride.

One of the things that really gets me excited is looking at the furniture listings on Etsy and dreaming of the day we'll be able to have art pieces in our home!

Here are a few of my favorites

This amazing piece of art is made by Michael Arras. I love the combined simplicity and complexity of this piece. I love the coloring and the creativity. . . ahhhhhh

This fabulous end table is created by Farzan Nemat of MSTRF on Etsy. Again, the complexity, and yet the simplicity of this piece is what drew my attention. It is very modern, which isn't usually our style, but I can see it in our country/modern style surrounded by softer items and fitting in just perfectly! Such amazing work.

Last but certainly not least, is this vintage telephone table lovingly restored and artistically presented by Alicia and Tony of Chromalab. I look at this table and think how sweet it would be to have it in our sitting room with a beautiful old fashioned phone, dating back to the same era sitting on it's top. . . .

Oh, I'm now ready to tackle the home purchase cause I've so many inspiring ideas to work on after the move!

The Dark Knight

I know you may be tired of hearing about it, so I'll make it brief and I won't speak of it again.

We went to see The Dark Knight at the IMAX theater in Jordan's Furniture and I have to say, I never knew a furniture store could be that much fun!!!

I love furniture shopping, especially when I actually have a need, and since we'll be moving into our own place soon, there is a need! But Jordan's Furniture, was a whole other experience. They have a restaurant (fast food) and an ice cream stand as well as a greeter with "Mardi Gras" beads at the door. When you walk in, it's like walking into an amusement park. . . We saw a bed that is perfect for us, and we made the mistake of laying on a "Tempur-Pedic" mattress, then went through the home theater department and sealed the deal. How smart were those guys when they put the IMAX right in their store (you walk through the store to get to the theater, although there is an outside entrance). . . . Oh, yes, we did see the movie. We were in a sold-out theater (sold out all weekend, we got our tickets on Monday for the Saturday show) that was amazing!

Loved it! Heath Ledger really gave the Joker some dimension and depth. Christian Bale is still the best Batman, in my humble opinion and Christopher and Jonathan Nolan did a bang-up job on the script and the direction. Yes, I would recommend it, especially on the IMAX!!!
