Friday Favorites, vol. 55, a day and a half late

Wow. Wondering if I should change the name of this blog to FridayFavoritespace, because that's what I've been blogging for weeks. Hmmmm. But if I did that, what about all the amazing future house before-and-after photos that I'll be blogging? See. I can't change the name. Or is that a circular argument? Not sure, since I never took Debate in high school.

1. black and cream chevron stripes
So classic and chic.





2. modular furniture
I believe that somewhere in the past, modular furniture had a bad rap, but now it's so modern and streamlined and let's face it, functional, that it hits the mark.







3. terrariums







4. velvet blazers
Especially on the boys. I realize it's already too hot for velvet, but perhaps that's why it seems so appealing. I'm already missing those cool spring evenings.






5. new music that sounds old

Fitz and the Tantrums




Adele




Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings




Raphael Saadiq

Happy Birthday, Nathan!

I love you.
I'm proud of you.
I can't wait to see what this year will bring.

In case you haven't seen this, Nathan has decided to embark on a year-long photo challenge he's calling Project 35. You won't want to miss it.

Friday Favorites, vol. 54

Disclaimer: Quite a lot of these Friday Favorites contain things related to interior design. In fact, you might as well know that for the next couple of weeks, that will be the case. I'm sort of house obsessed. OK, a lot house obsessed.

1. spine bookcases







2. diners







BONUS: coffee mugs from diners







3. pedestal sinks







4. malm woodburning stoves
Our (hopefully-soon-to-be new house) has a wood-burning stove in the living room, which is nice and homey. The thing is, the style of the stove is so rustic that it doesn't match our stuff AND it doesn't fit the time period of the house (1963). So, Nathan and I are planning to take out the old stove, pass it on to his folks who are building a cabin in Colorado (how perfect will that be?) and eventually maybe replace the stove with one of these amazing, modern Malm stoves.







5. food trailers







BONUS: Food Shark in Marfa, Texas. My favorite food trailer, ever.







BONUS BONUS: Marfalafel from Food Shark. I was never a huge falafel person, but I ordered this because it was one of their signature dishes. Now I find myself daydreaming from time to time, just wishing I had a Marfalafel. Or at least the recipe.
