My mum used to go on trips before she died. Well, obviously she's not going on any now. But, she say that if I didn't have the cats, I would have been able to go on these trips with her.

I think we're agreeing. Ha! Sort of. The amount of expendable income these days, placed against the costs of the furniture is a different ratio. Besides the fact of the increase in costs of the mat...

@OliviaTokyo, It's a tough call. The bed takes up a lot of space, and when you're sleeping, you don't always need a huge bed. You aren't conscious. You aren't aware of the size of the bed or the si...

The one with the damask pattern has the link farther down: http://www.therugs.com/RGMTJuteNatMonteg.htm I sometimes mis...

Really? I did not know that. I bet Jonathan Adler doesn't know that either. Maybe he doesn't sell things in the U.K.? Reminds me of the old story about the Chevrolet Nova. It didn't se...

@madampince, see if you can find another local person to go with you, to share the costs of gas. I have read many times of people getting together for IKEA trips or trips to large sto...

Oh, man, I almost blew oatmeal out my nose! Lemme see what I can find... The Bad Table:

It is? :::looking at back of hand::: I don't get it. What does it mean?

Also worth noting, the French flag does not have a Jonathan Adler piece on it. ;p I just know one of the fingers would break off, and I just know what finger it would be. ...

France is blue, white, red.

I just went over to see, and yes, there they are, the sale prices. I think I like mainly the dotted wooden doors. The rest is kind of haphazard, a jumble of assorted mat...

There are some good tips in there. Many are set up for owners, not renters. And sometimes I have to laugh at their idea of "small":

You can also Google search for: Cameroon stool (or try the alternate spelling of Cameroun). Or more specific: Bamileke stool. There is no "Camaroon" spelling, which is what is on the Metropolis Mod...

Shasta, there are some of those African drum stools on Dominic's business site: http://metropolismodern.1stdibs.com/item...

These are sinks, right? Where's the faucet? Does the color coordinated body painted naked chick bring the water? (see the "Concepts" link on their page) Are you sure these are sinks? I...
