More Home Stuff: Mental Decorating

Of course, this doesn't mean that I'm not constantly trying to fix up the place. (Lately, I have been much more interested in buying furniture than clothes. Though I think it's just a phase that will end once new fall collections start appearing in stores.) This week I've been spending a lot of time at Ikea to get my new sewing area ship-shape (that's it above, in all its work-in-progress glory!). But if I made just a little more money, I'd be purchasing these items *immediately*:

I love the rough wood look of this Primitive Dining Table by John Erdos Gallery here in Singapore (the chairs, however, I will skip):


I'm wondering if I can get that table to work with the simple lines of these amazing chairs by Wild Spirit:


Though I'm also kind of intrigued about pairing it with something very unexpected, like these metal Holz chairs from Design Within Reach:


My TV needs a nice new home very badly, and I have been coveting the Telefunken TV credenza from the Plank line of Singapore-based modern furniture company Air Division:


I have desperately longed for a wooden slat bench for years (my brother has the one from our house growing up, and so far I have been unsuccessful in my attempt to wrest it from him.) So, I'd probably make Lucky Olive (one of my absolute favorite flickr-ers, her vintage finds are just incredible) an offer she can't refuse on this mid-century slat bench she recently found at a garage sale. For $5. I have been in the throes of insane jealousy ever since:


All remaining money will be going toward bedding. I am in desperate need of a bedding makeover, but I haven't precisely identified what that will entail.

And that's it! That's all I need. Except this thermos…
