Eh...looks great in the apt pictured, but all those patterns are too much for me. I've currently got plain frosted in most of my windows (it's been there for about five years with no trouble). I'm ...
Agree with Anna et al...ditching the veneer on the sides entirely and replacing with new (different color, yes! try to match, no!) veneer or sanding and painting a contrasting color.

Man, now I want cats, just so I can name them Panton, Bertoia and Corbusier.
I probably would shell out for one of these if I had cats...or at least if I had cats that woke me up in th...
I don't have a dining table or eat-in kitchen area either. I *do* have a great vintage booth set that my grandfather got from an old-school diner that was going out of business (wooden benches rath...
I agree with bepsf, and would add:
Cut four of the Flor tiles in half.
Take the two leftover whole ones in that column and put them on the end, to extend the length of the runner...
Okay, I take that back. Don't search by book (this is a kinda hard-to-nav site). Go "Fabric" at top, then "search" bottom right, then "Product Finder." Select all types, upholstery weight, greens, ...
Magdelane: I recently bought a new sofa that's literally almost identical to that, but in a different fabric. It's from The Sofa Company in Santa Monica (thesofaco.com) and the model is called "Ril...
Typo in your last listing. "Silicathree.com," not "Slicicathree.com." Also, that's apparently not really an online store. You can /look/ at their stuff online, but you can't order online, and it do...
You know, I'm thinking that if the ModPodge idea works reasonably well, you could make your own decals of pretty much whatever you want. I'd print them out on high-res matte ink jet full-sheet labe...
Try Eurway.com, Chiasso.com, GarnetHill.com, ContemporaryRugs.com, LinenSource.com, RugsExpress.com. I just took a quick look at all of those, and each has something at least in the same genre as ...
Oh that is aMAZing! If any of the old glue is still sticky, you might want to try some GoofOff or similar adhesive-remover before the scrubbing commences. Also, for the old paint splatters, I'd try...
That Hair Chandelier is one of the most disturbing things I've ever seen. I do like that one of the text-riddled pillows includes the word "PEROXIDE" in giant type. Heh.
Otherwise, y...
Oh hey, I have that *exact* little Casablanca lantern in white...but I got mine from PaperSource. Where, apparently, I paid twice as much as Z Gallerie [loooove] charges. Sigh.
Staar84 -- you can find citronella candles or oil lamps (which repel many flying bugs) to fit just about any of these lanterns. You ought to be able to find them easily: hardware store, drugstore,...
I agree, Emily. Way too much work and way too expensive. Who wants to invest that kind of cash and labor into an apartment? And why bother when there're so many easier and less expensive options? ...
The single best place I've found to look for tile is FastFloors.com. Lousy navigation -- you have to click on each individual manufacturer/brand to look -- but man, do they ever have a LOT of stuf...

Oh no you did *not* name your cat after Eero Saarinen. That's freaking AWESOME.

Totally, love the mirror. I was thinking of doing this in my own kitchen: http://www.outwatercatalogs.com/2008_...

How many *apartment* dwellers will actually use any of this? I'd love to dump a few grand into a kitchen remod, but not while I'm renting.
