the sixth sense

some people have a keen sense of smell. some people have ESP. dabney, it seems, has a sixth sense - an innate ability to find great items on craigslist.

her penchant for chairs is now famous...






but her skill is not restricted to chairs.


how about a swedish roll-top desk?


or an "arco" lamp?


or maybe a ginormous dog crate?

this week, she found the most unusual of treasures - a library ladder.





why a library ladder, you ask? rooms lined with books dance in dabney's head. we had grand plans to include one such room in our new place, but our budget has postponed that dream for the immediate future. it's all good though - at least dabney has the ladder.

maybe i should surprise her and wallpaper a room with the stuff below and have the ladder leaning against the wall...
