Hardware

For Christmas this year, Nicole bought me a beautiful woodworking bench (for those interested - Rockler beech wood bench), and I’ve been working to set that space up perfectly. That process for me began with acquiring the missing “basic” tools and giving them a home that keeps them easy to get but also out of the way. I found that, as someone who often prioritizes form and beauty, I’m drawn to a lot of used, vintage, and curated supplies. As an example, I use one of the old Stanley Powerlocks as a tape measure, and my go-to screwdriver is an old Wilde one kind of like this. For more of a “curated but new” feel I often find myself browsing Yuns, a cool little hardware shop that has a very focused small collection of reliable and high-value products. And finally — to provide the arsenal a resting place, I took my classic yellow dewalt hammer drill to the concrete and mounted a pegboard.

Keep a dime bag of tiny screws

Everytime you toss something with tiny screws, keep em in a little bag. I used to lose tiny screws that I needed for various things and this has saved my ass so many times. your eyeglasses will thank you

Throwing away extra pieces of hardware

I don’t need the extra hardware and bolts and dry wall anchors from my IKEA side table/TV mounting kit/floating shelf... I had enough before, thank you. And by that I mean I had zero… which is how many I need.

Freckle pen, glossier lip liner, and long red nails

I’m so addicted to my beaubble freckle pen that I worry my friends are going to throw me a fake freckle intervention any day now. The new glossier lip liner in graze is the first one I’ve found that colour matches enough to fill in my cupid’s bow. Long red nails because I like the sound of them tapping the iphone screen. Sorry to anyone in my vicinity who does not enjoy that sound. I went to the pool on Sunday with another long nailed friend and we laughed about the sensation of running them through the water… like having little flippers on your fingers. I felt like a beautiful duck-billed platypus.

being pretentious about how you make ice

yeah this stainless steel ice tray has to be left out for 10 mins before you can dramatically pull up the lever but damn does my ice taste good Optional flourish is to get tiny ice tongs from the Japanese market to stop you from getting cold fingies
