home update

After nine whirlwind months of living in Oakland, our apartment finally is starting to feel like a home. 

(Oh snap! This photo was featured on Coast to Coast!)

My favorite furniture piece in our apartment by far is our mid-century credenza that I scored in Long Beach a couple of years ago. I had been on the search for quite some time and doing a ton of CraigsListing...so when I saw this at Make Collectives for a great price, I snagged it!

I love that the credenza serves as a platform to showcase our antique globe, a wedding present from our friend Claire. On it, India still includes Bangladesh and Pakistan and Zambia doesn't even exist yet (its Rhodesia on the globe). Needless to say, it has become one of my prized possessions.

The electronic item we use the most in our house is our record player from Urban Outfitters. I got it for Ric in his 30th birthday and he has certainly put it to good use! (A pretty huge feat since that fellow is hard to shop for).

My new favorite item in this pic is the mother-of-tongue plant...I've gone a bit crazy, and we now have three in the house! I think it plays really well on this wall of the house with all of our lovely Etsy and personal art. 

What are some of the new (or old!) favorites in your house?
