In other newsworthy information I managed to turn 36 this week without too much trauma. There were gifts, cake, birthday cards, brownies, books, catch ups, coffee dates and dinners. Its been a great week and a reminder that I'm lucky to be surrounded by so many great people. I really do have the best friends in the bizz.
Oh, and as for my Top 5 birthday bits list from last post....2 from 5. Not bad! I got the Kate Spade book and the pretty piney from 'Miss Jones'. It was a book bonanza of a week. So many great design books to read and be inspired by... now just to get a few of those 'windows' to read them!
Anyone remember that awesome patchwork chair I got from Far Pavilions last year? I waited 5 months for it to arrive and it lasted exactly that long. 5 months before it started to come apart at the seams. I get it, I feel like that myself at times but it had to go back for a refund. I couldn't risk a replacement, this isn't the kind of house where fragile fits in. So I went in a different direction and replaced it with this...
The Astrid chair in Lemongrass from Freedom.
I also got these Stockholm nesting tables.
And the Remix cushion...and because Freedom had a sale on I still had $130 left over from the purchase of the original chair.
In all fairness though Far Pavs customer service was excellent and never once questioned my need for a refund. Why is it that I'm often surprised by good service? Did I just turn into an old person who expects people in customer service roles to be helpful? Well, I am 36 I suppose.
Now, who else is totes in lurve with Bruno Mars? Hip Latino can sing! Click the link and enjoy a bit of swag from the man himself.
Please excuse the 'rude word' at the start!
Happy Week Ahead xx
