What rings did you end up getting? I'm getting married in August (eek, coming up!) and we are looking for bands..... I saw your post about all the ring options and totally related - especially since Jennifer Dawes jewelry was on my shortlist!
@anonymous - we go to a lovely jeweler in my town. i ended up getting a very thin pave diamond band that fits perfectly with my engagement ring (also a band).
Thank you! We are twins...well, at least in the ring department. My engagement ring is also a band!
Good luck couch hunting. We got lucky and have a hand-me-down Room and Board couch that looks very mid-century modern, and I love it. We also just got vintage Eames chairs to go with our crummy IKEA table (baby steps). They stack wonderfully, which is key in small spaces. :)
which room and board couch do you have? do you like? i was just wandering around their Soho store this wknd. found 2 couches that had potential.
also, sat in an eames chair for the first time. holy moly theyre freaking comfortable. too bad theyre a hundred billion dollars. whered you find yours? i can't bear to spend $400 for something that looks like simple plastic...
I'm not actually sure which style our couch is...it's pretty old, but has nice clean lines and wooden legs. It's great - comfortable enough and still our style.
I live in San Francisco and got my Eames chairs from a great couple that find and resell midcentury modern pieces. I got 4 for only $200 - a steal! Sorry to tease you with a Bay Area website, but maybe the people running it will know of someone on your side of the country? http://midcenturymodernfinds.com/
Sorry I was being anonymous - old lurking habits die hard....
You only have an aunt that is an antique dealer and sells mid century modern furniture. We just sold 2 Eames style chairs for $200 each (I could've given you a family discount!). Shall I be on the lookout?
Congrats! And a double YAY for signing an apartment lease. I can't wait to see what you do.
I also have to tell you that at the bottom of this page, there's an ad of a bride with a shotgun. For an apartment hunting service. I get the joke, but it's still a bit scary...
As for the sofa, I can't help much there, except tell you that the boyfriend's parents recently bought a new sofa from Crate & Barrel that is HEAVEN.
I think we're getting a Room & Board couch too. One that does NOT look mid-century, thankyouverymuch, but still has lovely minimal lines. It's 'spensive, sorta (I was actually expecting them to be way over $1200-$1400...) Anyway, before you decide SIT ON THEM. Comfort is key.
Ah, the double banded girls, suddenly we're so chic ;)

Thanks in advance :)
Might I also add to the list - wedding dress making a visit to seamstress accompanied by brand new shoes.
just sayin
