3 Things for the Home

so it is a thing, isn't it? the whole drive for renewal comes with spring and enters pretty much every aspect of your life. admittedly, it is pretty wonderful. in my mind, it is what i picture waking from hibernation to feel like, only in the case of bears and other animals with said natural habit, they probably feel much more rested and refreshed than i currently do (hint - finals are coming up).

nonetheless, it is indeed spring and has actually started to feel like it here in new york. this means many things including splurging more on flowers for the apartment, and a sense of pride for only having killed one of my plants this winter. this is also a time of home renewal and i don't just mean the tedious exchanging of winter for lighter clothing wreaking havoc on all storage space. it also means adding a few new things to the home, that make it feel different while the same, fresher and a bit rejuvenated. granted my time is excruciatingly limited and i have been fighting away a nervous attack for fear of my upcoming deadlines, i'd like to take this lovely albeit short moment to share with you three things i would love to place in my home right this instant.

this is a poster if the 1970 exhibition at the moma titled information. this is one of those exhibitions that went down to history for its innovativeness and promoting of new ideas and thoughts over more traditional ones in the art world. obviously, the 70's was a pretty ideal period to do this. given the fact that it's a favorite activity to update our gallery wall from time to time - this would look simply sensational next to some sketches and landscape photos, don't you think?

who else here lacks space for a proper coffee table? well for all of you fellows, who like us here, have teeny tiny ones (or none at all) there are little books that are simply fabulous for keeping lying around in your sitting area. one of these books it would be so nice to get my paws on is the above. travel grant application submitted - i am now waiting anxiously for the results hoping to get to go to london for research this summer. this little guy will at least help me deal with the fact that i am mentally, already there, while providing excellent distraction and conversation topics for guests!

speaking of limited space and lack of coffee tables, this vinyl player also bringing back the 70's design dream is just that...dreamy. ahhh... all right, reality check having set in, it really is a pretty piece, and vinyl players are fantastic. i left my old one in greece after moving back here, but still remember the velvety feel of the sound coming from it when we played records. if you manage to get one for yourself, having fun with its design will only make it a better experience, trust me. in addition, this too is an excellent conversation piece.
well, i have to leave you all for now, till next week. i wish you all a fantabulous weekend, and since we parted on the subject of music, here's a 70's tune to help you through the day:

- here comes the sun -
by the way? what are your plans for spring renewal? we're curious.
