Joey contemplates our newly acquired vintage bureau. "How would this look with filled with Doritos", Joey wonders.

I like the word "vintage". It implies a certain costliness. It's a pretentious word, no doubt.

In actuality this bureau was purchased at the cheap antique shop in Essex. Not one that you need an appointment to see, but one that sells little mannequins with no legs (see Saturday's post). Nonetheless it's very functional. For the first time in many months we can watch television without the bar of the bed frame across the screen.
