i wish...

After putting my flea market money into my secret stash I started thinking about what I could treat myself to again. Started the secret stash about three years back and since then nothing was good enough to justify spending that money. After my post about making money at the flea market Erin suggested buying an iPad but I already had ruled it out although it's still on the list of things that would be nice to have. Theresa hit a nerve when she suggested a nice piece of mid-century furniture. I remembered how much I love the bar cart that Niki from my scandinavian home owns so I started looking for one on Ebay and will also start looking for one in thrift stores. As somebody who loves wearing boots a pair of Frye boots have been on my wishlist forever but so far I could not bring myself to fork over more than $300 for a pair of boots. But on the other hand they will probably last a lifetime. Another expensive item on my list is a telephoto zoom lens which would be great for our upcoming vacation in Utah (hiking in Bryce Canyon). Or maybe a nice leather jacket?

Decisions, decisions, decisions*....

1. Frye Boots 2. telephoto zoom lens 3. iPad 4. bar cart 5. Leather Jacket

* Actually I have already ordered one item from the list. Can you guess which one? ;)

happy new year!

Hello 2011!

Everybody always has lofty goals or resolutions for the new year and then miserably fails to accomplish them. That's why our main goal for 2011 is to finish unpacking the last boxes and organize everything that hasn't found a space yet. There is still one room we use for storing all the boxes and other stuff so it's not in our way. Actually the room doesn't look so bad in the picture but I wasn't able to capture the mess in its entirety. We started out pretty good on our resolution yesterday and unpacked 5 boxes.

I made a list of things I would like to get done in January.

- finish the fireplace
- cover panel for kitchen island
- prepare the hallway to get painted
- assemble Bekväm step stool and decide on what color to paint or stain it
