status creep, home junkie version

it’s true. the problem with non-conformists everywhere is that counter-establishmentarianism is nothing without an establishment baseline! this usually results in veiled establishment mimickry in the name of its complete opposite. and indeed, this is the essence of home junkie-ism.
an obvious, contrived set-up for this blog’s token example du jour: the ebony riser we hewed for mother isomac. no more bending to the ankles to watch a shot pour for this blog. now we’re operating squarely at sternum height. just like the big boys. we’ll have photos of the chest bruises when they bubble and turn slate.
I have those cups that are in this picture. 3-4 inches in diameter? Do they come as a set, I am obsessed with coffee cups, old ones especially.
shaysh. didn’t see this comment for the longest time. apologies, sasha.
the cups are some of my fave — they have tapered bottoms for crema retention and are way retro cool. they are part of a 1970s china set that includes cream-and-brown plates with garish roosters in the center.
we got them from my wife’s grandmother. though i’m sure some of these china-matching places could produce the cups.
