My Valentine...

Well I must have done something right this Valentine's Day because look what hubs picked up for me from my 'store of want',* Kit in downtown Calgary on Saturday.

Eames Hang-It-All in all its fantastic glory. My first Eames...

Jumpy claps!!!

And why did I have to photograph it on my dining room table 2 days after it arrived to its new home? Well, could be because the wall looks like this....

Reason #2035 why hubs is in a sales job (but he's still really cute)

FYI: Plaster walls do not like screws and anchors. I did read online tonight that masking tape helps when drilling into plaster walls. We'll give it a shot tomorrow and hopefully post some 'after' shots.

*Store of want: a store that contains within it everything that embodies your idea of a perfect life. Kit is that store to me. Dwell magazine in a store. Sigh.

I was going to install this in Myrtle, my vintage motorhome, but alas there was not enough room! Also the AMAZING Cawston Midcentury house is on 2414 hope st sw :) I wish you could see the interior.

VoyageVixen - surprisingly large, those Hang-It-Alls. Thought it was that house. It's a beauty!
