i find furniture options in RI pretty limited. there's a sameness to it all. when i moved to my current home i happened to have a trip to nyc and went furniture shopping there. while pricey, these are things i'll more or less have for the rest of my life.

i read that as fascist/esthetician and thought, what an oddly specific, weird combination

unrelated to my post, i'm actually going there tonight.
