Oh, no! A Dooce detractor! Send in Jon and the armies of flying monkeys!
You're right, hfgm. The episode in which poor, oppressed Dooce revealed her raging sense of entitlement and sp...
Wow, ick. Dooce, really?
Does no one remember Maytag-gate? Or the temporary shutdown of a police station because the Dooceites were too dim to realize that flooding police with phone ...
I've been surprised at how expensive burlap is even at online discount fabric stores. I'm guessing it's not cheap at Michaels, but does anyone have a good source for burlap that doesn't require buy...
I was wondering how many comments it would take before some stingy idiot was all "They're paying YOU so YOU should STFU and the customer is always right so THERE." (Springs1, is that you?)
Oh my God, the smugness of the self-styled enlightened, oh-so-culturally-sensitive types is unbelievable. A hundred square feet with no windows and no ventilation (see how everyone has a fan?), is ...
Never seen this picture before.
What happened to all the Ansel Adams prints in bathrooms? Half Dome over the toilet? No more?
The Keep Calm poster is just a secret hands...
Does anyone have a good source for busts? I'm in the middle of designing my over-the-top postmodern Victorian library and it won't be complete without a bust of Derrida or something.

What do you do with no hood? Does grease or steam get annoying? We have the same oven deal in our place, and it's already bugging me not to have a light over the stove. I'm not sure what I can put ...
No, there are not "tons of similar pieces out there." That's exactly why this frustrates some of us. It would be basically impossible to recreate something like this now, given the rarity and cost ...
Good grief. It's not a modern sideboard. There is no modern sideboard in that sideboard. If your dad gave you a 1957 Chevy, would you try to turn that into a Honda Civic? Because it was free?
This is what my new apartment looks like, and it's horrible! I can't wait to be unpacked and settled in already.
If "frustration" is the desired outcome of this design, they got it.
If you call in the next 20 minutes, we'll even throw in this Miracle Squeegee for FREE! That's normally a $30 value! That's right, for FREE! But you must call in the next 20 minutes! Operators are ...
I finally found the invention I've been looking for! I WILL have my chandelier, dammit! It turns a socket to an electrical outlet.

When we first moved into our current apartment, the neighbor upstairs would play, on repeat, for at least an hour every morning the same creepy song about being cut open and keep bleeding, keep kee...

Whoops, I mean "world economy," not "work economy." Pick up a copy of Edward Said's "Orientalism" while you're at it.

Thank you for not painting this piece hot pink with zebra stripes or any other "OMG like way fun!" ideas. Sincerely, The Future

Wow, every day I find a new reason to love Somerville. This city rules. So do Christine Price Hamilton's pendant lights.

Screw the tables, where is that sofa from in the 4th picture (Crate & Barrel)? It's not a C&B sofa that I can find on their site.
