| Mollie Chair, basking in the rare January sun. |
No, we don't have another puppy, Mollie is the name of our new chair. No, we aren't in the habit of naming our furniture. But apparently that's the thing these days, giving furniture designs names, so we'll go with it. We first met Mollie while browsing
Area 51 in Seattle, and finally decided she would be the perfect addition to our mid-century living room. Then we noticed a red leather Mollie on the cover of the latest issue of
Atomic Ranch magazine, so we were confident Mollie was the right choice. When we went to pick out our Mollie, we brought a swatch of our drapes and a paint chip from the walls. We held them up to the golden tweed chair and the salesman got all excited, "Ooh, now that's GOR-geous! It looks just like you have a DEC-orator!" Then we were
really confident that this was the right Mollie for us.

There are lots of other little things we've been doing in the house. I Craigslisted and sold the old breakfast table and chairs and Matt bought me this "tulip" table and chairs from IKEA. Even though the table is bigger than the old one, this set really opened up the area and makes it lighter and brighter.

We didn't replace the sofa in the den as previously planned, for now we just rotated it and we're making do. This black and white photo of Paris on canvas sort of helps tie the area together.
