Nice job and lovely cat. And it is so nice to see a couch that does NOT face a TV set.

RVs can be so generic, but you guys made yours over to be so personal. You even made room for an herb garden! Good for you. I'm impressed.

Love your labels! I'm a "word person," too. Labels help in maintaining an organizing system and avoiding creeping chaos. I browsed your website's organizing ideas, and I was impressed....

I love this! I think you accomplished exactly what your intentions were: a cozy, personal place. Lots of inspiration for me in the way you displayed your art and collections. Thanks for sharing.

I receive the Wisteria catalog but never order anything because I think their items are overpriced, plus I like to see items in person and avoid made-in-China stuff. Luckily I live near their outle...

Thanks, Jessica. Your new place is very, very impressive. Love the creativeness and the vintage stuff. Love the writing, too. Note to AT: We need more of Jessica to balan...

Loretta, I feel your pain. I have almost daily thoughts of leaving as having an inviting home is essential to me. Talking doesn't work. Action works (sometimes). See if your library h...

Boy, I'm impressed. Those "before" pictures really show how hard you worked. And thanks for showing all the storage interior details. Most of us would cringe to have our hidden space...

Nice post, Amy! Thank you for sharing your place and your cats.

I appreciate this site and visit several times a day, although I don't often leave comments. Thank you for explaining your reasoning. While I totally respect your need /desire to make...

Wonderfully pared down in a way that I could not and would not do, but you still included at least seven plants, so you are "super cool" in my vote.

Wow, very impressive. This set-up is sensational for cat and humans, both. I am particularly interested in the placement of the cat steps, as I thought a lot more wall space would be ...

Thanks, AmyE, for tactfully saying what I've been thinking for days now. Editors, are you really totally committed to this round-up stuff?

SD913, Lauren's comment was back in 2005, but her book has to be Cocktail Parties, Straight Up! by Lauren Purcell. (The Amazon review mentions that the authors are sisters.)

P(too), As a vegetarian guest I do not expect people to go to a lot of trouble to accommodate me, but I would hope they wouldn't add a pointless carnivore ingredient to an item such as...

Jonathan, Wow, impressive de-cluttering of books and boxes! (I struggle with both.) I vote for leaving the space clear. Maybe at least try it that way for a month or so be...

Teebz, you made a good point about the Omnivore's Dilemma. If that's what is chosen, I'll join in, and I'm sure to learn something. Thanks!

Based on what's available in my local library, I voted for Animal, Vegetable, Mineral. The library has Michael Pollan's book, too, but as a vegetarian I don't think I have his dilemma...

If you can remember to scan the barcode, surely you can just as easily remember to write the item on your shopping list (which takes up only a teeny space compared to this). Of course,...

Wende in Phoenix, Do you still need a round black bath mat? The Dallas IKEA has them. If you'd like for me get you one and send it to you, please contact me at luisa@wt.n...
