Jiti Bedding

I need to amend my bedding top ten. I had did not have a chance to check out the latest designs from Jiti Bedding before I made the list. The latest line with its muted tones, subtle designs and graceful stitching are elegant and modern. The top-of-bed items are luxurious silk and the sheets and cases are a decadent 300 thread count.
If you are ever checking out the blog archives, please mentally add 10 b: Jiti Bedding Branches sets.
OK, on another note, can I just admit that I have the Style Network on as background noise right now? Some show called “Clean House” is on. How do people live in so much awful clutter? You literally cannot even see a floor or furniture surface in the house they are de-cluttering. I’m going to go purge half the junk in my office right now, before I turn into a candidate for this show. Yuck!

Hey Becky,
Be careful. that’s my house you are talking about. I really wish i could use my dining room table for, you know, dining.

Dear Chad,
Is this the famous Chad N. who won the Mr. Horticulture Pageant in Scotland? Who loves drama? Who matches his purple socks to his purple shirts? Who wears fabulous Julie Bargmann-inspired black and white spectator spats? I can’t imagine this is your house I described.
I picture your dining room table bedecked in fresh peonies, forsythia branch sculptures, and Venetian glass objects, like orange juicer sculptural thingees that I never really understood how to use. It might have a “wall of Chad” in the background.
If you would stop spending all your time and money playing Funky Monkey at the bar, you might have time to de-clutter. Also, start playing Run 21 instead, in order to practice for Las Vegas. Hopefully the ASLA conference powers-that-be will have the forsight to convene there some year soon, instead of in these cities like Boston where you have to go on educational historical cemetary tours during your free time.
Also, I think your problem might stem from the fact that you are an only child.

P.S. My office is a mess again. Saks had a huge sale last week and I dumped all my loot in here. I need to watch “Clean House” and be inspired to organize again.

As accused. Although technically I play my Funky Monkey at a restaurant.
Sometimes my dining room table is as you envision, although right now I admit it is covered in bills, playbills, catalogues, seeds for the vegetable garden, and about a half dozen nearly-finished lavender bottles. I need a better system that makes my private clutter more private. Maybe like your sibling-friendly room divider, but i’m not sure that would really help.
Hey, speaking of ASLA, any chance you are thinking of meeting me at the annual meeting in Fort Lauderdale October 7-10? It’s not Las Vegas, but I’m still feeling the pull. I know our interests diverge – I was totally in to seeing Mt. Auburn and being able to wander through it. The hook for me this time is Field Session #2 – The Documentation and Conservation Plan for the Fountain Garden and Marine Garden at Vizcaya. Cool. You’d love the Education Session on Sunday at 3:15 p.m. on the topic of the Florida new town/ development called Watercolor. With an overall landscape plan by Nelson Byrd Woltz Landscape Architects, this would allow you to turn the tables on past professors and critique their work. Please don’t reduce Warren to tears, though. Use your power for Good, Becky!
p.s. – cemetery has three ‘e’s and no’a’s – Ms. English Major

Cemetery – I NEVER knew that! Oops. Thanks. At least I finally learned how to spell “definitely” and “separate.” Plus, I NEVER say “very unique.”
I love that cemetEry too, but I’d been there, done that. I did enjoy The Lilac Path and the view from the tower at Mt. Auburn. Techinically, there is a lot we can learn from Las Vegas as well. We could re-read Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown before leaving. We could also visit Hoover Dam, which has so much to teach us about power, river ecology and water supply issues, engineering, the first (I think) planned community, workers during the depression era, and fabulous art deco design. I mean, it was the first project that ever matched the scale of the American Western Landscape. (I think I just made a summary of my Richard Guy Wilson arch. history final from ‘97). Perhaps the scale of Hoover dam inspired the scale of everything in Vegas. I love the absurdity of everything on the strip.
Watercolor = hmmphth. Do you get a ticket there for hanging the wrong color wreath on the door or painting your shutters an unapproved color? I don’t do Florida. I know a lot of people love it, and that is great for them but I hate humidity and I’m not a fan of sharks either. I also hate warm ocean water. I like my shores rocky and my ocean waters below 70 degrees. That way that state has overdeveloped is tragic. I do love to read Carl Hiaasan (now there’s one I can NEVER spell) books about it though.
Is October still hurricane season?
