All from schoolhouse electric except for the black one which is from rejuvenation.

anthropologie & schoolhouse chic
As I walked into Anthropologie today I could feel the testosterone slowly drain from my system. Unsurprising considering their mission statement—
Anthropologie offers a one-of-a-kind and compelling shopping experience that makes women feel beautiful, hopeful and connected.
Maybe they should add "poorer." They always have nice stuff but it costs more than it should. What was interesting was their science lab displays. I was surprised that the schoolhouse look had reached even Anthropologie which I thought of as a focal point for rich, white hippie sensibility. But sure enough, the image above—bare lightbulb, lab flasks and medical cabinet—comes from their site.

The duh files—small houses fit small things
Every time I think of getting something with scale and weight it never seems to work. I saw this beautiful, heavy school house desk at Sonrisa a few months ago (above). The price was right but after thinking about it, it would have looked too heavy. I find that light and airy modern pieces work best for our place. I think it's not so much the style of our house but its scale that is determining its furnishings.
Miniaturization and white space
Our house is plenty big for two people but I'm realizing it's not big enough to support my ideal vision of space. I like having little pods of messes and things set off against vast amounts of blank space. But like most people I can't afford vast amounts of white space. I wonder if that's part of the Japanese aesthetic. The attraction lies not only in the miniaturization, but in the luxuriant empty spaces enabled by small things.
