Sometimes, I just want something pretty.

So, through the home renovations and repairs, there comes a time in everyone's life where they just need something to LOOK GOOD.

To that end, we just picked up a great addition for our living room which really ties in the whole style:



Yes, my Mission style kicks your wussy Atomic Age's ass. Bow to my wicked mad interior designer kung-fu skillz.

Now we just need to do... oh, -everything- else!

Silly man! Don't you remember our back parlor all in A&C style? You know... the one with the cool standing lamp similar to your own?

Bummer about the existing shutters. Those can be a BITCH to find at a good price. Any chance of repair?

Nope, don't remember... until NOW that you mention it :)

I never thought of myself as loving Mission/Arts&Crafts/Craftsman as -my own- style. Always enjoyed it from afar for other people but never paid attention to it.

There is just something very warm n' cozy and comfy about A&C. It is the lifestyle of hot cocoa, relax, and enjoy yourself.

I've always loved that back parlor, especially that sideboard that somebody was gonna toss. What a score that was for you guys!

Tragically, the shutters appear to be the crappy one-size-fits-all style that you can get at any home improvement center. They were forced to fit in the windows, and not very well at that. They really aren't worth the repair job.
