Telephone Talkin'

I have always had a thing for telephone tables/benches. I think it's because my mom had one (still does) and I remember sitting in it and flipping through the phone book pretending to be a grown up. Imagine that, a phone book. Now, no one sits while they're on the phone. Everyone is too busy to actually sit down and enjoy a good 'ol phone conversation. So this is my salute to some great telephone benches.

Oh, and when I googled "telephone talking" I came up with this video from the Guys Next Door, 80's boy band. I met them once at a Karma store. ha ha! The video link isn't working, but you can google it yourself. It's on you tube. I digress...

Dresser Love

I've never had a dresser, and I've always been envious when I see pictures of people's dressers. Well maybe when I was a kid and lived at home I had one, but as an adult, I've always used plastic or cardboard storage units in my closet. And I suppose it's more efficient this way and takes up less space in a bedroom, but still, I covet a dresser.

I want to put cool things on top of it, like my jewelry and whatever else. I envision a round turquoise tray where I can drop my earrings, rings, and necklace. And also I'd love to display some of my vintage items, like an old powder case with mirror and my grandfather's dog tags and engraved silver cigarette case.

So here are some of my favorite images courtesty of Apartment Therapy and Design Sponge's sneak peeks:
