F and I are feeling pretty grown up. One, the bickering has simmered down. He was asking me why were fighting so much and I said, “Because we’re not used to sharing everything and not getting our own way 100% of the time,” and luckily, that bickering has decreased. Especially since we bought our first piece of grown up furniture. What makes it so is:
- It’s not from IKEA, someone’s sidewalk, or our parents (though you can find awesome stuff on the sidewalk, not knocking that!)
- and it cost grown up bucks
It’s a dresser that we bought at HD Buttercup and it’s designed by the same designer who makes everything for Restoration Hardware (F.’s fave store) – Timothy Oulton.
Now, F.’s tastes are mostly: steel, black, brown gray, gentleman’s club, and Cadillac Escalade. Mine are: woods, splashes of color, farmhouse-beachhouse, and a Mini Cooper. So therein lies the paradox. The fact that we agreed on this dresser was pretty miraculous. But it’s very cool, like a British boarding school trunk mixed on steroids. Check it out!
