Side Dish
No, this isn't a re-run. I posted this picture from Angie Hranowsky's online portfolio before, but there's a reason it's popping up again.
See that mirror? Well, we have the same one above our living room mantle. And that rattan side table/ottoman next to the armchair? We're now the owners of the same Franco Albini piece. I swear we're not trying to totally copy Angie's room.
As soon as I saw the side table/ottoman, I knew that it would be perfect for our living room and emailed Angie about it. She was kind enough to respond and suggested that I look on eBay. I ended up getting mine through Austin Modern and it arrived earlier this week. Here it is next to one of our other recent purchases, the Portland studio sofa from Room & Board:

ok i'm sidetracked. blanket: where from? and have you seen a blanket in a persimmon color? (red with a lot of orange in it)

Hey Rena! That's a bamboo blanket from Pottery Barn. Super soft and was on sale a while back. They actually have a slightly different version now (also on sale) in "Copper Orange."

I wonder if that's close enough to the persimmon you have in mind? Also, I *LOVE* this WSHome cashmere throw (check out the "Rust" color):

I'm hoping it gets marked down a lot more post-Thanksgiving.

i found a franco albini ottoman at the trift store the other day. i bought it for $30. i was suppose to get a discount because the store was having a 25% for furniture sale, but they wouldn't give it to me. oh well, i still got a deal. its in perfect condition.
