Every time I see something interesting on Instagram, they shut me out unless I log in. I hate that. Which means I won’t log in.

I can’t resist the urge to show off my most amazing find (not in NYC).

Looks like it’s a cabinet for maps? Very cool.

It’s a plan chest, you can use it to store maps indeed, but also blueprints, paper, prints, etc.
This is what it looks like after an intense scrubbing and a light coat of wax.

Love it! Especially the handles. Reminds me so much of something you’d see in a library!

Good restoration, too! Lovely wood!

Sperrmuell! That multi-colored chair looks very similar to a couch my Iranian Wohnheim Mitbewohner snagged for me during my first Sperrmuell. Hideous… and free for the taking.

If you’re going to infest your apartment with bedbugs, you might as well do it with shabby hipster chic style!
