Yearly Archives: 2006

I received a $50 gift certificate to Gump’s as a gift! I love this store so it’s going to be hard to decide what to buy. I think I’ve narrowed it down to the following four options. The first option is a set of San Francisco note cards and a bud vase. The second option…

Rob and I started the weekend with a relaxing Friday night at home…frantically working on redecorating! We started by carrying our 77 inch roman shade home on the bus (thankfully it was fairly empty!) and installing it in our living room window. Not one to accept this feat of home decoration and relax, I then…

Rob’s parents are coming into town on Saturday and Sunday for a short visit. It’s also leather pride week here in San Francisco, which always makes things a little more interesting in our neighborhood. I think we’re planning on riding the cable car (California Street line to avoid the crowds) and doing some other touristy…

Rob and I want to go to Thailand in late January. It feels like we haven’t been on vacation in ages! I’m starting to look at tickets and they are not as bad as I thought, about $600-900. Does anyone have recommendations for things to do and see in Thailand? I would especially like tips…

I was kind of having a rough day today until I saw that Jean received her care package and that it helped her get over her own bad day. It’s a win-win! I sent Jean (my little sister, in case you didn’t know) a package with a few goodies a week ago. Hopefully, it will…

Say hello to Fuji and Payton, my new best friends! This adorable pug duo kept me company on the sidelines of last night’s kickball game. The dogs belonged to our referee and were waaay into the game. They watched each inning very closely and Payton even got to help her owner run the bases. I…

You can’t blog about desks and offices without mentioning See Jane Work! See Jane Work has completely cornered the market on adorable office supplies. From storage boxes to binder clips, this site has everything a working gal needs. The prices aren’t great, but there is plenty of inspiration to go around.

This lamp from Gump’s makes me want to sit down to write a book with a furrowed brow. $125 buys you a classic style, a New York feel and, potentially, the next great American novel!

Nicole just bought her first house in Salt Lake City. She’s moving in this weekend. When she asked for help decorating her new office/guest bedroom, we were glad to oblige! Plus, it fits perfectly with our stylish desk theme today! Here’s the photo of her office with the old owner’s stuff in it. We’re working…

These Bisley 5 drawer cabinets are probably too big for my desk…but, oh my, do I love them! Very industrial chic! I would like one in white or silver to help keep all my art supplies organized. Only $99 for organizational bliss. Or, you can buy something similar, but not as cute, in wood from…
