my week in objects (mostly).

February 12, 2021

1. this paintbrush comb.

{best hardware store purchase in awhile.}

2. this old basket.

{newly “baby proofed” up high.}

3. this lamp.

{back in its home.}

4. this bun.

{only slightly more complicated a request than a giant bow.}

5. this wall.

{because it’s about to be painted.}

other things:

the test kitchen.

shame they didn’t include photos of lagoon hopping with small children.

casual friendships.

love sick.

new york is the best city to cry in.

the words of all-but-forgotten individuals.

longterm relationships.

a new mom.

    Q about painting without disturbing old paint – are you doing any patching of holes/cracks/etc?

    Thank you so much for posting the paintbrush comb. I’ve been slowly painting rooms in this old house of mine and I dread cleaning the brushes.
    This made cleaning them not only easy but fun.
