Looking Dapper.

Here's to the awesome dudes in my life who love bow ties. You guys rock. Here's also to keeping my fingers crossed that one dude can manage a bow tie without the help of the other dude.

How did anyone get dressed before YouTube? Seriously, that sh*t is complicated.

Cheers!

schnoble's

the schnoble household is home to one very old eames chair; belonging originally to grandpa schneider, then papa schneider, and now one mr. evan schneider. last year it suffered a tragic break... the classic 'rubber shock fail', and afterward sat in the GBR for waaaay to long. it's finally boxed up and soon to be on its way back to herman miller for some much needed R&R.

i was thinking it might need a little welcome home party.

and a gold stump. it's totally a marriage of lana glam and classic evan. perfect for casa de schnoble. yes yes yes?

orange crush

Remember the blue wall? Remember what a bad idea it was? Well, I'm hot on the heels of another doosie. My good friend pragmatism will probably keep me from making another online purchase....

oh wait, that was my husband's root canal that I'm thinking of. that's what's keeping me from making another online purchase. that's right.

wedding season

it's that time of year again. this year the count is enjoyable at four. The places we'll be going for these hot dates:
1. Roche Harbor, San Juan Islands
2. Columbia Winery, Woodinville
3. Seattle Athletic Club (I honestly had no idea you could get married there...)
4. La Jolla, San Diego

With the four RSVP cards marked 'yes' and in today's mail....Guess it's time to go load up on food choppers!

summer centerpiece?

this is why I still love urban outfitters. just when you think you'll never find the perfect gold skull for your dinner table, you stumble across a gem in the basement of the downtown Urban Outfitters.

Dad: (accusatory finger pointed at lazy susan) What the hell is that??
Cousin: Uh, I think it's a piggy bank...
Dad: (larger hand gestures) Why the hell is it on the table??

....apparently dad was less excited about my latest find than me. ya win some. ya lose some.

stale bananas

this banana is feeling a little stale. dear world: send me some fresh bananas and some inspiration- stat.

when your alignment is off.

today i am having a plumbing crisis. the location of existing plumbing is contradicting my floor plan. there is a supposed hostile stub up in the open corner of the WC. highlighted for dramatic effect in vendetta red. what's a girl to do?
