a Chair</a></h2> <p>In some ways, I wish this chair had a better story. It’s a simple one. Matthew and I were walking down our block and found it in a trash pile. It looked pretty unassuming and dirty, but it was solid wood, and we’re still in the young-poor-things-living-in-New-York mentality. That means if it’s free we’ll probably take it. A blessing and a curse, really.<br/>The chair sat in our apartment for about five months until we finally got a good dose of inspiration (thanks, Charles!) and took a page from The Brick House’s Navajo blanket chair, even if it risks our home turning into a Ralph Lauren catalogue. Nothing on eBay was right, so we actually went with a Navajo-inspired horse blanket. It turned out to be perfect, and it was pretty fun shipping a package to Matthew’s office from HorseLoverz.com.<br/>The real fun came during the deconstruction of the chair, which ended up having three (three!) layers of old, dirty textile before we got to the base. If I die from chemical particles lodged in my throat you can probably go ahead and blame this project.</p>http://bonjournicole.com/post/41532368834http://bonjournicole.com/post/41532368834Sat, 26 Jan 2013 12:28:00 -0500DIYreupholsteringphotographychair<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/34be148b8e7ef288d3e9861eb2058b89/tumblr_mgzp3bEARZ1qklypyo1_r1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><h2><a href="http://bonjournicole.com/post/41124046068/disappointment" target="_self">Disappointment</a></h2> <p>It’s a holiday today, so along with watching online updates from the inauguration and marking things off my to-do list, I get to be home during the day to eat lunch at my very own table. This never happens (except on the weekends, but let’s not nitpick)! I felt like I had to eat a sandwich today, because, you guys, we need to talk about expectations and major disappointments. Real life lessons only here on this site.<br/>Over the weekend, I’m sad to say, I finally ate one of those classic sandwich at Katz’s. Sad to say, because it took me my entire early life to make it there and, well, it was meh. The food was fine. The restaurant was a mess. The employees and the patrons looked like they hated everything. New York has so many food institutions I feel awful about skipping, but no more.

Matthew asked me if I’d use these supposed sewing skills I talked about having to make him an oxford shirt. Wait, menswear? A tailored shirt? I didn’t understand why we couldn’t we just buy one instead, or why he couldn’t at least ask for a dress or a women’s blouse. I could do one of those. I was terrified and I’m guessing the weeks this project dragged on were probably a good example of my unwillingness to face my fears. But then the sad fabric sat on our table, just looking so unloved, so I mustered up the courage. And now it’s done and, <span class="italic">excuse me</span>, but I want to make more? Look what you’ve done.</p>http://bonjournicole.com/post/39885500593http://bonjournicole.com/post/39885500593Sun, 06 Jan 2013 19:58:00 -0500camocamo shirtphotographysewingvsco filmclothingmenswear<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/eb81c783656c386d25e124f678132cfb/tumblr_mfs1taiHpQ1qklypyo1_r1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/01b78123892efc284fd2228f48123a8b/tumblr_mfs1taiHpQ1qklypyo3_r1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/a521fbf3ae81a2b079538c22c75f99ed/tumblr_mfs1taiHpQ1qklypyo2_r1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><p class="caption"><span class="italic">Scenes from the Ann Hamilton exhibit, Park Avenue Armory.</span></p></p>http://bonjournicole.com/post/39140004452http://bonjournicole.com/post/39140004452Sat, 29 Dec 2012 13:14:00 -0500canonVSCO filmnycNew York Cityarmorypark avenue armoryann hamiltonthe event of a thread
