She had a baseball bat in the backseat of her Jeep Wrangler. “It’s not weird,” she said, “I’m Italian.”

I have explained my baseball bat to so many people this exact way.

Hunter omg can you write a book of essays? "Had a cold brew so intense I pulled the oven out from the wall to scrub the floor myself"? The Tegan and Sara apartment broker hiding wearing a hat? This took me right back to my cherished new york years, I loved every word of it.

PS This is the platonic ideal of sponsored content - author gets paid, audience gets creative merit so great it transcends any aversion to commercial messaging <3

Need to write my own Hung Up post about the phrase "tidied but not prepared." This is my "Did you leave in a rush?" now.

It's exactly the feeling I desire in my home but feel I haven't mastered. I am doing Too Much re: my decor, my party/gathering preparations. It's giving tryhard. I don't know how to be casually together without obviously Pinterest Board about it. I'm either a huge mess or spending 142 hours cleaning and rearranging until I don't want to have the party or even live in my own apartment anymore. I will be thinking about this phrase until I die. Thank you, Hunter.

my ekselius credenza and I lived out this entire story, right down to the patchwork cardboard replica up the 125 year old stairs and the hope that my life would somehow rise to the occasion once the furniture for it was all just set into place.

your sofa is gorgeous, and the perfect depth, and when I finally move on from my loyal Lounge ii, this seems like an obvious upgrade and I’m keeping it at front of mind.

“If Frank asks you if I was wearing a hat, could you do me a solid and say I wasn’t?” Can't believe I will die some day without knowing the backstory on this...

Expand full comment

no there is so much lore that i need to dig into ... i also have a theory that she and frank and related but that she didn't want us to know it lol. frank is very sweet and looks like jon voight. he thinks andrew's name is hunter (despite knowing that my name is hunter and has our full names on the lease lmao)

Love the aesthetic of your home!

My husband had a gray L-shaped sofa from Room & Board when we first met; it’s where he first saw me laugh until I cried (SNL digital short about Twilight but Bill Hader is Frankenstein), where he proposed to me, where I nursed our children . Someday we’ll have to get a new sofa, but it will have a lot to live up to! I’ll remember this post when that day comes.

aww that is so sweet. whenever I think about movie/tv interiors, i always think about the sofa iIsa and Lawrence had on insecure, and how them getting rid of the sofa was a (much needed) reset for their relationship. what a great character detail - sofa as the epicenter of a whole life together

Whelp, tell Ellison Studios your beautiful writing is selling couches! Only took about 7 hours post read (and seeing the Black Friday sale on DWR) to plunk down! Can't wait to be buried in this couch after 15 years of an aesthetically pleasing but ridiculously uncomfortable Cantoni for American Leather sectional.
