now that i’ve come clean about the fact that i’m a maximizer, i can go ahead and admit that practically every piece of furniture and decor that’s made its way into my apartment over the past five or six months has been the result of a painstaking decision-making process. although i ended up choosing a different rug in the end, sophie aschauer’s serpentsea mats made from sailing rope were a serious contender. and by “serious contender,” i mean “something i liked a lot but knew i couldn’t possibly drop two hundred fifty dollars on.”
