My walls were already covered in the basic equivalent of floor laminate. I'm currently in the process of covering them in duct tape and paper! I've had surprisingly good reviews thus far; we'll see...
I don't disagree with a couple of things out of place, but perhaps that's because I'm naturally disorganized. I think that's more like eyeglasses left on the coffee table with the book I was...
Bento boxes are something that should be in everyone's cupboard. It's a concept from Japan, where lunch is usually composed of rice and small samples of various foods. After only a month in Japan I...
My very first apartment after college was in a sketchy area five-minutes' drive from my work, which happened to be near a very convenient shopping area. My location was amazing but the apartment wa...
LSUGrad03, I am in league with you. Some handy tricks from no-shoes-inside Japan for bare floors: wear slippers inside when it gets cold. Keep easily washable slippers in an entryway basket for gue...
I was about to advise the addition of color, but then one of my coworkers walked past my computer, said something I didn't understand in Japanese, and when I looked confused said, "Office. Wabi sab...
White isn't a "trend," and neither is antiquing or shabby chic. I'm more likely to purchase my furnishings based on texture, so that cabinet on which rests the coffee bean bag filler doohickey woul...
Nope, it's not Japanese, either. Most gardens around here are either lush container gardens or gravel-paved and carefully sculptured. However, I recognize a lot of the plants. I think what is meant...

Is there a life-sized horse statue in the 7th picture? I will forgo a bed, couch, and my keyboard for one of those. The coffee tables in picture 5 are beautiful. Also, I love a good white box with ...
I haven't come up with a good name for my current apartment because its original name—ABIL 1—is actually pronounced "Ey-BEEroo Wan." Good enough for me.
My last apartment w...
Maybe there's no bylaw because this is the manliest of all manly murals, and to outlaw this kind of art would be stripping the Y from Austria's male population. How dare you.
I love how functional these things are. In Japan summertime brings out innumerable practical bamboo house decor, and fall brings sales on the same items. I've been looking for a wall treatment for ...
This seems like on of those houses that looks amazing in person. As a terrible photographer, I know that taking pictures of one's own home is a little intimidating when the photographs on this site...
Though I'm not a huge fan of rainbows as decor, I'm not sure why they have to connote childishness. It's not as though Lisa Frank has an exclusive hold on the natural prism effect.

This fills me with a profound sadness. Like the look on Robert Pattinson's pillow face.
