Nesting (kind of)

One of the more challenging concepts for me (as a planner) is that we do not know where we will end up living when O. graduates. Unlike other graduate students who typically pick a city or region they would like to live in and then apply for jobs in said city or region, PhD candidates are required to be open to living in a wide variety of places. So we could end up on either coast, in between, or in some other country (though this is less likely). While this is exciting at times, it is sometimes nervewracking.


Nonetheless, I like to daydream about the type of place that we will (eventually) call home. I have always wanted a big farmhouse table (which I fully realize may not be possible in certain cities). I especially love salvaged wood tables. I think that the Whiskey Tank Table made from oak whiskey staves is pretty much perfect. And it is on sale. Sigh.

I also love this trestle table. Restoration Hardware- who knew?

And then there are the chairs. I would love to pick out some colorful French bistro chairs or better yet, design my own pattern. How fun would that be?

Or keep it classic with a Wegner wishbone chair. Decisions for another time. At least the process is fun (and free), right?
