g.i. YO

look what my mother-in-law dug out of the time capsule she calls a basement. this must be metrosexual g.i. joe, complete with jeans, combat boots and black handknit sweater. she also found a regular old g.i. joe in army fatigues. but he pales in comparison to this dude. of course, it's the handknit sweater that got me. i don't see how i can part with the guy. just wait til barbie gets a load of him...or ken.

happy hallway

i heart this new anthro wallpaper from orla kiely. inspired by a tiny zebra-covered hallway i saw in domino mag, this bold beanstalk pattern seemed perfect for the pea-sized hall between the kitchen and tv room. the burst of color and pattern just make me smile everytime i look at it.
