Velvet Underground

she.jpgWell, one positive side effect of our maid Tena being away is that I've tackled some household projects I've been putting off. If I got to clean up anyway, I may as well do a good job of it. Here's our awesome new bedlinen, which I had made for us in Hanoi at a French-run boutique called Velvet Underground. They ought to have a website I could direct you towards at this point, but if they do it's awash in a google-welter of pages about the band and I can't find it. Anyway, it was great. I chose blue and brown, one of m favorite color combinations, and a kind of acid-green shot-silk for the trim, but you can't see much of it in these pictures. Also splurged on the lilies at Sing$5 a stem. If you have to lie around in bed, this is definitely the bed to lie in. Close-up of the devoré velvet and the lilies under the fold.

  • Confused by our comment policy?

    We're testing a strong CC license as a form of troll repellant. Does that sound strange? Read this thread. (I know, it's long. Keep scrolling. Further. Further. Ah, there.) So basically, we figure trolls will recognize that selling coffee cups and t-shirts is the best revenge, and will keep away. If we're wrong about that, at least someone can still sell the cups and shirts. (Sigh.)
