A while ago I discovered a great collection of scanned book covers from 1950s-ish pulp fiction in Flickr. I had gone looking for things to post on our clipboard wall, but these are too fun to walk away from — especially now that Sandee’s put cats up.

The entire kitchen is Sandee’s playground, and that includes the chalkboard. I’m not sure what holiday she’ll decide to honor next.
She’s been busy elsewhere at home too.

Thomas Von Staffeldt’s remix of Arne Jacobsen’s “chair no. 7”. Above are gluttony, pride, and lust. They’re all on auction, but does that suggest avarice?

Sandee’s toasting tomorrow’s inauguration with a special “fresh start cocktail.” I’m not usually one for overwrought imagery, but the delicate fruit flavor is quite refreshing change from the dark and stormy winter we’ve been suffering. And no, I really don’t know if I’m talking about the 18 feet of snow that’s fallen these past couple months [...]

Sandee’s not such a fan of the new theme here at MaisonBisson. Without really telling me that I should have discussed the new decor with her before making any big decisions, she does say she feels it doesn’t suit her style. There are lots of ways to resolve the, um, difference of opinion, but we [...]

The image on this moleskine notebook was custom laser engraved by EngraveYourBook.com, a part of EngraveYourTech.com, where they recently announced they were suspending moleskine engraving due to atmospheric health concerns. You can’t get a notebook, but you can ogle the fancy, laser engraved MacBooks

I sink into a strange, giant blue marshmallow and sigh contentedly. I balked at this new furniture. I balk at anything that I don’t actually pick out. I didn’t pick this out, Casey acquired it on his own. Our home is small and I am very picky about what goes [...]

This handful of business cards is good for a little design inspiration. And here’s 70 more if you need an extra shot. Thanks to Frank for the tip.

I ate here. It’s every bit as good as the review suggests. Seb’s description and photos tell more, I’ll post my own photos soon. Update: posted.
Short story: there’s a restaurant in Australia with a three month waiting list, but a Sydney Morning Herald reporter says the restaurant I ate at is its equal or better, [...]
