My Weekend in Pictures

Fresh peonies made the inside of my apartment feel more like Spring than this...
wintery mess.  The snow looked pretty but it made for one heck of a commute home on Friday night.
So I stayed in and cuddled with this muffin
and rearranged some accessories around my apartment.
I tried to find the perfect shade of blue-green
so I could paint a little somethin' somethin' for my bedroom.
I finally ventured out Saturday afternoon and found this amazing vintage buffet.  I'm thinking it would make a great TV stand.
I also found these great faux bamboo chairs.
On Sunday I bopped into one of my favorite antique stores where I found not one but TWO awesome bar carts...
I love a good tassel...
and a little leopard.
My mom had to pry this gold chair out of my hands -- I need another chair like I need a hole in my head -- it's just so pretty.  Wouldn't it look fabulous reupholstered in Fig Leaf or a great John Robshaw blockprinted linen?  Le Sigh.

How was your weekend?
