January has been a furniture buying month. In addition to a new dining table I bought this Danish teak bookcase that fits neatly in my hallway. About the only space left in my small apartment. At the moment it holds mostly my unread books which previously were stacked on every available surface in my place. It’s a relief to have these books organized in one spot and cleared from every other surface in my place!

I’ve been wanting to replace my well designed, but fixed Ikea step ladder with a folding one to better fit in my apartment. In a google search I came across the Lucano 2 step ladder from Hasegawa and luckily enough found a shop in Vancouver that sells them! It’s a brilliant marriage of form and function not to mention the strking colour. In my small apt where I lack a lot of storage space I wanted something that would look good when not in use while still being a visible object in the room.

I picked up two plays today. Volopone I only heard about for the first time recently but I can’t remember where! That’s going to really annoy me. Cyrano, I wanted to read because I’ve watched two film adaptations recently: The first one from 2022 directed by Joe Wright starring Peter Dinklage and Haley Bennett (very good btw) and the other is one the classic with Gérard Depardieu from 1990.
