acapulco chair

a bit of a love affair with a chair - i first spied this beautiful chair in the above photo...great design in the most simplistic of form and it looks like the perfect place to cozy up and read or thumb through magazines for inspiration. Im still garnering inspiration for the patio this entire apartment. at first i really liked these chairs from ikea, though now ive had a look at them and im not so sure - 


but the acapulco chair has me all misty-eyed and thinking about morning coffee and evening cocktails on the patio. it comes in a range of colors too, but i think i best like the black. 

it is now being handmade by greenpointworks, a brooklyn based company... better start saving my pennies

the livin is easy

sooo...im still on the apartment search. its been a long, long search but i did find a sweet little spot and we've submitted our application and now its just fingers crossed, though i must say in this city its a crazy roller coaster ride. i basically assume i wont get the apartment at this point and try to forget about the whole thing until i get a call saying they loved us but their daughter just got kicked out of school and she'll live there instead - or something like that. im beginning to think we are cursed. 
any way i digress - apartment, application, not trying to think about it..but its got this adorable, teeny tiny little outdoor patio...so whats been on my mind? little urban gardens and tiny patio perfect seating. 
love this idea from LLH designs(via thestylefiles)for garden planting boxes. just perfect for a few head of lettuce and herbs.
add a few stackable tables and these super smart outdoor folding chairs. i love the wegner influence 
and because a teeny tiny patio(thats shaped like a bowling alley) would be as much fun without this amazing bowling set
