Hip Hip Hooray

Summer's in full swing and we're currently boiling in a hearty stew of work, school and wedding planning ...but that doesn't mean that we can't break away and fill y'all in on the wunnerful early wedding gift our buddy (and future best man) Damian sent along this week. Damian must've been psychically attuned to our home office renovation plans because this teak behemoth occupied the #1 slot on our dream list. Manufactured between 1956-1958, Peter Lovig Nielsen's writing desk is a prime exponent of Danish modern design, and the perfect centerpiece for our revamped room. We'll go into more detail once it's situated in its permanent spot, so you'll just have to content yourselves with this for now.

We've really prided ourselves on being very tight-lipped about the items amassed for this project; however, we couldn't contain our elation this time, and we were both very touched by this gesture
—thank you again, Damo! You're the best!

DAMN! Damian upped the ante on wedding gifts...my toaster oven from Sears will pale in comparison.

You'll be ensuring that we always think of you when we're toasting up our grilled cheeses ...not that we don't already, fromagio. Thanks in advance!
