i almost didn't post today,
but as i was peeking through christopher's latest dwell magazine after work,
i came across this photo advertisement for the dedon chair.
omg - i so love it. it's like a little hive - so quirkly and fun,
and WAY out of my price range. still, it's fun to dream.
{even if i could afford it, i'd need a backyard}

~ on the subject of backyards, here's the scoop on the house hunting:
c and i have been looking for the past 6 months and in this time,
we only found one home we both loved and could afford
it was a mid-century home - clean lines, tons of glass, 4/2, 1,700 SF.
really exactly what we were looking for. i fell hard, and was sorely
disappointed when i learned our offer went in one day too late.
the owner accepted an offer the day before ours - just one day
after it put on the market. *sigh*
we've put offers on other homes and were outbid, but in retrospect,
it was a good thing the other homes didn't work out. they weren't right.

so after lots of discussion, we've decided to just sit tight for another year and rent.
we'll continue to save so we have more to put down since banks now require 20% down.
{alot of money given the costs of cali home prices}. this will open up more to us.
