He said She said

Today I went to the King Koin laundromat to wash our comforters. I was impressed with the King Koin, super clean and had helpful staff, but that's off point. On the way to the King Koin I got turned around and ended up by the Mennonite Central Committee thrift store where I thought I saw some Danish modern teak furniture in the window. That turned out to be a mid-c hallucination (happens to me all the time), but I did wander in and find a Sunset decorating book for recreation rooms. Of course I had to buy it since I am furnishing a rec room right now. Thumbing through I found some awesome pictures of what I call "Man Rooms" also know in the Sunset book as "Studies". Since Bill loves a good man room I pointed this one out to him.


Me: Hey! Check out this awesome man room, it's like the ultimate man room! (pointing at picture in book).

Bill: Yeah it's pretty cool. (trying to endure one more decorating conversation)

Me: Check out the awesome fire place!

Bill: Yeah... it's cool

Me: Ooh look at those cool Navajo rugs... and (laughing) look at the gun rack.

Bill: (Interest piqued) I was actually thinking about that today.

Me: (Surprised) Vintage Navajo rugs?!?! Cause I was totally thinking about that today too!!! You should totally get some, they would look awesome! Have you seen Dale Chihuly's studio? He has an awesome collection of rugs.

Bill: What?!... No. I was thinking about guns.

And here I thought we were having some sort of Vulcan mind meld about vintage rugs! In Bill's defense though he did find two awesome danish modern teak chairs at the antique sale this weekend. Unfortunately they had been sold. But the antique guy recognized us and asked for our email, since he had seen us at some other shows (and since I am physically unable to shut up about our retro reno, he nick named us the Retro people). He is going to email us when he does estate sales that have our style of decor. And.... he is going to nose around a bit when he does his estates to find us some vintage kitchen cabinets!
