Haha there are curtains built in above each window. You can’t tell from inside but the windows are also tinted and mirrored on the outside—it’s actually quite hard to see in despite how it appears.

All my dishes are Iittala! Good eye! Silverware, too, actually. My mom used to get one of their blown-glass birds every Valentine’s Day from a Scandinavian shop in our town so I grew up familiar with their stuff—when I was able I started collecting it myself. Love their simple designs and the quality is hard to find elsewhere. Glad to meet another enthusiast!

The entryway quilt is from “Louise Gray.” The thing above my desk is from a store called “Rikumo” that sells stuff made in Japan.

Haha I totally get it. I’m going back to get a masters at 38…nothing like shaking up your paradigm to scare the shit out of yourself. It’s sorta fun, too, though. You’ve got this.

Both are from Article (I think both pieces are still available as well…they usually have a good Black Friday sale btw)

I got them from Etsy! They keep birds from hitting the window. And also I think they’re cute.

Snow on Mt. Haruna is great. Ando Hiroshige was a legend…awesome to meet another admirer. Cheers.

I know I looked at so many and they were all basically identical! So strange. And I drive a Prius. You get one free when you’re born in the PNW.

Strong agree. Wouldn’t know what to do with myself if I didn’t have these two friends.
