I would spend most of it on home furnishings.
I’m not a huge Urban Outfitter’s fan because they a) overprice everything, and b) they’re a huge corporation but nonetheless they have very cute stuff, and they’re sales can be pretty good. I realized that the older I get that my tastes are cultivated by things from my past. This may be an obvious truth for everyone, so I apologize for stating the obvious.
1. Melina Club Chair- This salmon color is a favorite of mine. Not to wear, since I pretty much only wear about three different colors (shades, if you will) but aesthetically this pleases me.
2. Danish Modern Coffee Table- I don’t need to say much here. It’s perfect.
3. Wizard of Oz glasses- My favorite cups to drink out of in my house are pint glasses, and I’m pretty sure my roommates and I have acquired them by 5-finger discounting.
4. Sun Jar- Energy efficient LED that attracts sunlight and then lets off a warm glow. Better than catching lightning bugs!
5. Around the World Illuminated Globe- My father is obsessed with maps and globes and I never thought anything I made fun of him about would rub off on me but I have to that I am my father’s daughter. Plus I’ve always wanted a light-up globe. I also share his love of war movies, though I’ve yet to get into Detroit mo-town.
6. Crosley AV Room Portable USB Turntable- I love and hate this. I wish I could say I had a great record collection, but I don’t. So I have to settle for newer technology. I can already feel the eye-rolling.
7. Boosted Stiloso Headphones- I wish I had a collection of headphones. I feel like Goldilocks when it comes to choosing a pair and I still haven’t found the right fit.
8. Silver Ocean Globe- I hope I become an old lady with hundreds of maps and globes surrounding me, less smelly than being a cat lady; and by old I mean 40.
9. Mid-century chair- Danish inspired design, and turquoise is another favorite color of mine. (Probably because my first swim teams colors were turquoise and black)
10. Lomography Diana Dreamer- I like lomo.
11. Crosley Classic Kitchen Phone- I’m totally nostalgic for kitchen phones with long cords. I had one as a kid, as I’m sure most of us did, and I used to love wrapping myself up in the cord like a mummy. Child hazard?
12. Chandelier wall decal- This may be more Suz’s taste but I definitely concur.
