sometimes i wonder if i will ever get over my industrial, metal fascination?!?
and then packing around the magazine like a fourth child everywhere i go can't be good either...
sigh...
but this keeps calling my name...
maybe i would step out of my comfort zone of "cooking" hot dogs and macaroni and cheese...
you know i do have a good reason why that bookcase with a ladder should make an appearance in my kitchen...
it is called...
5'2" vertically challenged...
did i tell you i went to an estate sale where they had an authentic barn pulley exactly like the one above?!?...
{well minus the lights of course}...
i know...
some kind of weird reasoning made me shake my head no to paying more than $40.00?!?
i guess i would much rather pay $500.00 for a reproduction?!?
i can only blame it on...
well something...
there is simply no reasoning as to what i was thinking...
sigh...
and i do have a couple tractor seats that the husband could try and make look like that fabulous stool...
but really...
i mean look at that base...
maybe i should have become a metal smith...
i did take a welding class in high school once...
my box did hold water too...
so maybe right??!! ;0)
did i just hear someone say...like hell?!?
oh that was me...sorry...
sigh...

Love your taste and your style. What a great post.
~*I am drooling...lol..I LOVE that kitchen!!!~~*Thanks for the eye candy!! Hugs,Rachel ;)~*~
Oh Ya! R/H Rocks it, 2~die~4.I treasure my catalog and wished I only had 20 G's to spend.A Girl can dream though.~cheers Kim
That same kitchen pic is in my "dream kitchen" file....sigh*
I think I would probably give my left pinkie toe for those stools. Seriously, the pinkie toe is not really very attractive and I don't NEED it like I NEED those stools.
Oh, BTW I'm having a give away for sosobella on my blog if you'd like to stop by!
Why would you want to get over it? Seriously...the look is timeless.
I say get you a welder's helmet and get after it. I must warn you though...tractor seats aren't all that comfortable!

I totally get it! Rest. Hard. makes me CRAZY! Did you see the secretary type desk made out of metal? I even have the perfect nook to slide it into so that I wouldn't have to stand at my kitchen counter when I'm on the computer anymore. However, it's very much a "fad" look I think and it's way to expensive to justify! So I will just stick to a few accessories that copy the look. But if I was rich....
Kristin,
I received this catalog in the mail last week and loved these things. The kitchen is fantastic and how much I want to replicate this light fixture.
Hugs, Sherry
wait ... w.h.a.t.???
a 40.00 pulley for the million dollar look?????
haha! i always think you're hilarious...no one saying 'like hell' around here! :) my very favorite is the tractor seat stool....look at that base is right! gorgeous!
you are too funny...my little sister and I go to art shows, and we have what we call "i can do that" syndrome
i saw this welded piece of art that was so cool...and i said (yup, you guessed it) "i can do that"
needless to say, there are no sparks flying here dang it!
i want that kitchen btw - makes me want to scrap mine and do it like that -
Feed the passion Kristin! I think the fabulous light fixtures would be oh. so. perfect.
So weird because I just got that magazine in the mail for the first time a couple weeks ago and I'm not sure how...but I loved it too and everything in it...so much in fact that I had to throw it away pretty much immediately not wanting to drain my retirement fund... :)
