To (mis)quote Flannery O’Connor, a good table is hard to find.

So while Mr. Misosouper is still lamenting the loss of the fabulous pool table on which you can dine (still not distributed in the US…boo!), I’m leaning toward purchasing this amazing black lacquered crazy leg number. Paired with white chairs, this would be my idea of perfection.

Yes, we’ve lived in this house for 6 months, and no, we still don’t have a proper dining room. So I guess we won’t be inviting you over for dinner any time soon.

I’m a little disturbed that this Thursday’s splurge comes from IKEA. That’s a bit like saying your hamburger came from Taco Bell, right?

Regardless. If you want the look of built-in bookcases at a stand-alone price, then Besta’s your uncle.

splishsplashbirdbath.jpgA full size version of this birdbath would look fab in my flowerbeds, but for now, the miniature version will make my birds just as pleased.

You have my permission to hang it next to your bed.

In honor of Earth Day: a lamp made out of rope that would look fabulous suspending a CFL bulb.
