New year, new thread. Plus, TLTYA #17 just crossed the 100-post mark.
Playing against type, I spent money on myself today and bought this Herman Miller Embody chair (top) for my home office. It replaces a 14-year-old Knoll Bulldog (bottom) that still works perfectly well, but whose seat foam has unfortunately compressed to the point of discomfort. 
thinking of others
I spend every day acquiring things for me. I have been told it is Christmas all the time in this house.
I took a moment to give my wife the Marc Newson, K-01 camera with DA 40mm f2.8 XS pancake lens for Pentax and the Andy Summers, I'll Be Watching You - Inside The Police, 1980-83 signed limited edition for Taschen.
Wegner CH23
My first Wegner purchase.
Pretty good deal on craigslist. Was able to get the last one, after the first four went to a good upholsterer/dealer in the area. The roping is in excellent shape with no tears or loose areas. There are a few paints spots and small stains on the wood and roping, which should be able to be cleaned, and a small split in the wood, which will be a little tougher to glue/clamp as the roped seat does not want to be removed.
a nice lamp and a little help!
a nice vintage brass lamp. vintage works, older cord. The metal base weight has something that looks like CHAL something, bert, fort? eh? Searches are not getting me any hits.
I don't think it is Koch & Lowry, even though it looks the part. Nice lamp, regardless.
Found at the Goodwill this weekend...
My wife & I were picking the local Goodwill this weekend. They had just wheeled a bin out, and I spied the top of an unassuming pepper mill and pulled out and casually flipped it over. I was happily surprised to read 'Dansk Designs Ltd. Denmark JHQ.' 😀

Prints for my bedroom
I've been acquiring a lot for myself since the New Year, as I am giving my room a renovation.
I'm currently obsessed with wall canvases of Rock bands- I bought an image a canvas with an image of The Who today, to hang on my wall.
I now have 7! A bit too much for one room maybe... but I love Rock memorabilia!
