I mean "Grey day" in the best possible way, for today is the day that my wonderful custom Astrid chair finally came after quite a bit of anticipation!
Hmmm...lets get rid of those strange little arm-rest duvets...
Ah, that's better.
Miette would've had a grand ol' time batting those things around. And they're just kinda wierd looking.
I am so very excited about that darn chair. I feel like such a grown-up! In my mind a nice chair of one's own = grown-up status.
Is that sad?
Happy Friday, my sweets! I'm doing an insane amount of packaging/shipping/general workin' the black apple mail-room this evening + tomorrow. I've got crafty projects that have emerged from the mysterious piles of yesterday, so I'll show those off tomorrow...I was just too excited to wait to show you my new chair!

You have the most impeccable taste! I'm so envious of your beautiful home. My own is looking extra special thanks to a certain lovely print that is now hanging :) Thank you!

Does the chair really lean back that far? Or isit just the way the photo was taken? I love the rug.

A word of warning....get a scratching post or kitty may tear the sides to ribbons. It is a beautiful chair!

That is a wonderful chair! I love gray as well, have a lot of gray clothes. The wall color is wonderful--you have beautiful rooms.

i love that you named your cat miette! my husband and i named our puppy pantoufle, after the little girl's imaginary kangaroo in chocolat... except we spelled it phonetically (pontouf) to make life easier for our less imaginative families :)
i'd also like to say hello as i do enjoy reading your blog!
