Forgive a femme. | July 31, 2009 | Comments (6)

CONFESSION: It’s been too long! Two weeks and then some too long, to be specific. You know what happened? The fog rolled in, bringing with it a traditionally chilly SF summer, sending my preexisting  nesting state into a disoriented cocoon of warmth and quiet and respite. (Translation: I wore a lot of jeans and hoodies. I spent a lot of time searching for the perfect down comforter – Calvin Klein, for the record – to stop the chattering of my teeth in bed at night and so that we snuggle each other out of free will like we used to, instead of clinging together desperately just for warmth. I fussed with all of the bottles and things at my new vanity and begged the Gods for motivation to put my curlers in. When no motivation came, I watched Season 2 of Grey’s Anatomy.) I hope y’all forgive me and that we can all just MOVE ON from this terrible, awful stagnation.

So, the vanity! Isn’t it darling? I really am in love it. It brings me tremendous joy and pride to sit on my little padded bench, with everything so easy to get to, and with it so prettily displayed, it’s a highly effective way to stop wanting to buy every last shiny new cosmetic I see out and about. (This principle is the same reason I had the beast and have the new mini-beast for my shoes and bags.) Plus, it’s very fancy. This is a little sneak peek at my side of the bedroom, but M & I are still working on it, so you’ll see more very soon.

I’ll also be sharing the kitchen and dining next, followed by the living and sun rooms. We are so, so close to being done and able to just be in our space and enjoy it without that little nudge to tinker with things until they are just so. It’s so wonderful when life is just so, and I’m closer than ever.

Fill me in on your goings-on in the comments! What have I missed!?

    this is making me miss my vintage vanity from my grandmother SO HARD. when i moved up to boston for grad school, that and her chest (which was given to her when she was born in 1902, y’all!) were not able to follow me up here. i am going to have to figure this dire situation out immediately.

    your side of the room is looking quite lovely, as are you! can’t wait to see more more more!

    That vanity is amazing. I want to come to California and make you give me a makeover.

    What a nice vanity!
    I have a little vanity area, but it has poor lighting so I never use it. And now the underside of it has been taken over by kitty’s litter box. Ew.

    Thank god you’re back. I was going into withdraw.

    Brrr! Sounds like you and M need an oil-filled radiator if you don’t already own one! I have several from DeLonghi and ***love*** them. My house is old and drafty and the heaters work unbelievably well, even in my attic bedroom and three season sunroom, which are both freezing during the winter.

    And yes the vanity is darling! What an adorable little corner you’ve created. The mirrored curio cabinet is a great idea for lipglosses, lipsticks, etc. Is it from Target too? I also like lesbian pulp fiction cover art–nice touch.

    I love my vanity too!
