Let's eat

Dining room tables are on our minds.  We're thinking new table with old chairs, or old table with new chairs.  This one (just below) I found at this really cool site called emmas blog.  You can also find a cool guide to Stockholm there (which is perfect since my friend Jolene & I are headed there this summer!).

Our friends Brian & Aaron have this amazing Saarinen table.  It's a dream.  

I keep going back to cb2.  I can imagine these in 10 Union, especially since there's exposed brick.

I like this table and this whole set up, but I wonder if it's us.  Will tends to like more clean, modern lines I think.  The exposed beams remind me of 10 Union.

I found these inspirational rooms at Nestled In.

Yesterday we signed the P&S!  Of course there were some bumps along the way, which is nothing new for us in this whole process.  When you're signing your 3rd P&S in the span for 4 months, something is bound to go wrong, right?  Were the Platow's surprised that our names were no where on the entire document!?  Heck no!  So our fantastic agent simply filled them in with pen and off we went, signing away.

We drove up to Salem following the signing, to hand-deliver the documents to the seller's agent.  We couldn't help roaming around a bit.  Will focused on the big picture (neighborhood, furniture we need, proximity to the ocean and the common), and I focused on the details (faucets, fixtures, knots in the wood), some of which you'll find below!   

The Friendship of Salem.  The water is a quick walk down the street, as is this amazing boat.  THE ATLANTIC OCEAN!  I can't believe we'll be so close.

This is our  new neighborhood!  

We love the light in this bedroom in the late afternoon.

The view from the office.

Will standing in the office.  We have decided to put a small desk and a cool sleeper sofa.

The view from the bedroom: A Psychic and a statue of Nathaniel Hawthorne!

The dining room.  We're thinking of getting this table and this credenza from CB2.  This one from Ikea would probably do though.
