The Ang Lee film that took up residence in our part of Columbia County last summer/fall is coming to a theater near you August 14.
Get your CSNY ready for the tape deck.
We were out with friends in NYC last night when I spotted a lonely Marais chair in the back room of the bar we were at. I say lonely because the bar/restaurant is a grits n’ pulled pork kinda place with down-home decor. We were hanging out in the ‘living room’ which included a fake fireplace, coffee tables and mismatched leather couches. Then there was the Marais chair, just sittin’ in the middle of the room. My heart did a little leap when I saw it.
I’ve been putting a mental stickie on that chair for the last year or so. They’ve got them at the MassMoca cafe, and every now and then they show up in a magazine or blog. So let’s just take a moment and consider the Marais:

I’m not a yellow girl, but I love that Lemon.
Green, too!

Here it is in the standard Gunmetal:

And as DWR advertises it:
This one’s sporting the arms, but aren’t they all so chic with the chunky farm tables?
This presents a dilemma – what to do about my other crush?
A few months ago, I found this cute pillow in the sale bin at West Elm:
I tend to shy away from animal decor. You know, the zebra rugs splayed across hardwood floors and the sheepskins tossed over dining chairs and the antlers (both real and the even newer trend: wood or plastic) hung over a fireplace. It just feels forced. I grew up with the head of a twelve-point buck mounted on my Dad’s office wall that he shot while hunting in the backwoods of Maine. We called him “Chuck”. I guess my interest began and ended there.
Anyway, the pillow. It was a drawing of a fox and it didn’t feel forced, it was just cute. And who knows? Maybe we’d see a real one in the yard some day.
Well that day was yesterday:
Check him out!
He was sneaking across the yard on a mission. No doubt headed for some poor creature to devour or just toss about for fun.
I guess we’ve been hibernating. A few changes in our household have kept us on the DL. Anuj came up to go skiing a few times last month, but I’ve been parked on our couch in the city going through tubs of ice cream and lots of oatmeal cookies.
The latest action upstate? Well, two of our living/dining room heaters broke, as in: won’t turn off.
