RIP Louis

Couch1

This is my beloved Louis XVI French Sofa. Mold was in the inside of the leg when it went for a cleaning. As much as I loved this couch, I didn't want it to harm my family or pets so I had to give it up. I normally don't attach myself too much to furniture, but this was such a beautiful couch, and I regret not taking enough photos with it. This couch also inspired one of my best selling photos

I feel silly feeling so attached to furniture- it certainly wasn't an heirloom, and I didn't even purchase it. This couch came with a living room set of pink furniture and the set was a whopping $20, and my parents paid for it (yes, I was that broke at one point when I was single) and covered the cost of the cleaning.

When I took it the piece to get it polished and steamed, the cleaner mentioned I should have it priced and documented. It was like something out of Antique Roadshow- my little pink couch was being inspected and admired. Unfortunately old age took over and was worthless. To me, however, it will always be priceless. This was after all, the first couch my husband and I had together. I'm so lame, aren't I?

Am I alone here or have you ever experienced something like this?

The Weekend

Do you remember these photos? They were my engagement photos taken with a Diana camera. I've tried enlarging them to 8 x 10, 11 x 14 but since the print is squared, it never came out right. So, why not record player frames?

//yes, i know they are crooked//


The format is perfect. We don't feel comfortable having photos of each other all over the place, but these are our favorite. I know a lot of couples do this, but we just think it's weird to see yourself displayed in your own home.
They look so little because my walls are a tall 20 feet. My dilemma is anything I add to the wall, no matter how big, looks like a thumbtack compared to the rest of it. I'm ordering more Diana photos to frame. I think this wall is adorable, and I love the idea for my Lomography pictures.

Besides hanging up pictures, we went to the book sale at a local library and found a first edition copy of Hersey's Hiroshima for $10. The value of the book is $1,250!! We are not going to sell it, just collect it along with the other first edition copies we have.

Hope you are having a great weekend ♥
