hutch

After a couple months of looking, we finally purchased a buffet & hutch for our dining room. We had actually spotted it on Craigslist, went out to Coquitlam to view it, but price was $250 (more than we were willing to spend) plus we didn't have a vehicle to carry it back with us. While the owner had offered to drive it over, it just meant that there would be little chance to haggle (and I LOVE a good haggle!). So we let it be. Two weeks later, we received an email from the owner saying he'd knock off a hundred bucks and he'd deliver it the next day. So we snapped it up. I haven't had a chance yet to fill it with my treasures, though I'm definitely getting some inspiration from the blog, Making it Lovely. Behind those sliding wooden doors, however, hides a treasure trove of all our board games. Monopoly? Bohnanza? Ticket to Ride Europe? Scrabble? Boggle? Yahtzee? We've got a ton more too. Lots, lots more. What can I say, we're board game geeks! Now I've got to decide if I want to keep the mirror in the hutch or cover it up with some dramatic wallpaper!

hoosiers

In my Craigslist search for a pantry/hutch, I wasn't finding all that much that really suited my tastes. Tons of ugly, oversized oak monstrosities but no cute, vintage ones that suited my style. That is until I learned of a new search term: Hoosier! Not only is it a nice little movie starring Gene Hackman, it's the cabinet of my dreams. Here are 2 available in Vancouver. Sadly, they are way out of my price range but a girl can dream!

Hey, did you notice that last week I put up all new mp3 tracks? Look to your right and enjoy some new music. Last week I also discovered the most fabulous tracks on Popsheep. RePercusionesI especially. Strange and beautiful.
