OHIP still doesn't cover people who are 3 credits short of a psych minor. I would just be doing some freestyle headshrinking.

Bort - I could do retro wicker, but I have several other wood pieces in the room and they are all in a darkish cherry-ish stain. So I think wicker would be even more plunked in the middle than a chest. But I'm working on getting some for the balcony!

Rooby - Peaches no longer come from a can:

What is it with you people and your round items?? Eggs? Barrels? How am I supposed to rest my coffee on that without spilling?

Oh god please. You need a wicker hat-stand for your gracious foyer.

I was thinking that. I saw several full ottomans that had reversible lids with trays on the bottom. Now I just need to figure out where to find a tray.

The other possibility would be to take my gluegun and make a bench skirt to hide the crazy. Thoughts? (I'm leaning toward boxes, but I thought I would toss the skirt thing out there).

But I don't have any wicker hats.

(damn you for putting that hyphen in. I'm deleting it.)

Don't do a skirt. Get the tray and boxes at Cost Plus or Pier One

BOOM BOOM!
Actually, someone should make a thread with Basil Brush video files. A most admirable puppet. I really appreciated his ambitious tendency to act in wee skits, despite the limitations imposed on him due to only being able to appear on table tops.

Get tube-and-glass furniture. Must be due for a comeback.

I have a really large window and a bunch of narrow panels from my old place. Right now I just have one at each side to give a bit of colour (you can sort of see in the pic), but I thought I could do something better. I must sleep but I'll post in the morning.

Ok, so here is my new and updated table. I found some basket-y things at winners (TJ maxx for Amuricans) that were tolerable and not a million dollars. I also found this bamboo table runner at Winners. The colours are off cause my camera blows - so the baskets actually are more muted (they are actually almost exactly the same at the pillow on the far right of the couch, which is MORE green), and the colours in the table runner are just different. Maybe I'll take a daylight picture tomorrow.

Here you go:
