If you also factor in the waste incurred with ripped boxes that cannot be re-used and all that packing tape (which can get really expensive!), this seems like a decent alternative solution. But it'...

* Or Angelino Heights, which is just a mini-neighborhood within Echo Park

How is Echo Park a compromise? It's right in the center of everything and has great amenities. This makes me think that what constitutes a decent neighborhood is quite subjective and might depend o...

Is this a teenager's room?

I would like to second #7! We bought a couch for $50 and, if we hadn't found another Craigslister offering to haul stuff for a small fee, we would have ended up paying more than the couch cost to r...

I don't see the difference between the first and second pics. I assume the first one is yours and the second one is "how it should be," but they look the same to me!

Great action shots. Love the back toes in the third pic. What's this post about again?

So, if your house went up in flames, you could leave your valuables in here knowing they would be safe? I guess that's pretty cool, because you certainly wouldn't want to be moving your mattress an...

I'm confused like LoriSF about its use for mail, and in addition, the small size of the mail slots is limiting. What happens to larger envelopes or catalogues etc.? They would have to go someplace ...

I think these are adorable, but couldn't imagine them in my own place.

I find Akay's analysis about consumption in a more general sense more engaging than the analysis that these chairs are about human obesity. If the artist is making a point about human obesity, I do...

Like other posters, this isn't my personal style either, but I absolutely love it--it really comes together and looks so much fun and cozy. You have a real knack for finding items that fit with thi...

*hang our clothes (apologies)

The debate about the right to dry versus aesthetics of the neighborhood doesn't quite address the issue of drying in a damp climate, like in Ireland where I grew up. No one I knew had a dryer, so w...
