Ok it is too hot and I feel crabby about blogging right now but I’m going to do it because I said I would. This week is all about stuff made from wood. I grew up with wood paneling in basically every room and I sort of hated it and longed for white walls, but now I think I’ve accepted my roots and I really miss the look. Here are some woodsy things I have been coveting for a while.
1. This iPhone case, even though I don’t have an iPhone and likely will not for a while.
2. This incredible table. It’s been in my favourites forever.
3. This vintage hair comb. There was a different one I wanted but the seller isn’t active anymore, but this one is pretty sweet because it is a bird.
4. This beautiful drop spindle. I already have one but it is mega boring compared to this one.
5. Majestic zebra wood plugs for my ear holes. I will get some one day, probably when I achieve a level of ear that I am happy with.
6. I realize I am putting a lot of jewelery and it is weird because I don’t actually wear much, but that is because I like really expensive things maybe. I’ve seen a few wood circle necklaces but I don’t like when they have a cord instead of an actual chain. I dunno guys I am just not that much of a hippy I guess. This one I like cause it has a silver chain.
7. Yes fine I already have a Takamine that I never play but that is only because I am terrible at it and I get bored easily. But the whole point of this exercise is to pretend I have unlimited dollars. I really love the look of koa guitars. Oh and also quilted maple. Mine is pretty, too, but it doesn’t have the same beautiful grain as this one.
8. Thesecustom wooden rings, that have inlaid sterling silver braille dots. I like the dark one the best.
9. A natural edge maple cutting board. There are some other really nice ones sold at the Granville Island Market, but those people are not with the times and do not have a website. We have a really dodgy black plastic Ikea cutting board. It works ok but it would be nice to have a good one.
10. A really majestic tree house. Maybe not exactly this one, but something similar. I want something that has a lot of tree, and also a curved staircase. Magic. Pure magic.
lol @ the wood panelling. Oh, how I remember my roots too
I’m currently ripping out the panelling in my “finished” basement in prep for drywalling. Tearing that stuff down is incredibly therapeutic
Also, I love the table.
