Lordy. Madeleines. I'm not much of a cook but I really like baking and I bought a madeleine pan on a whim one day. I spent every weekend for the next several months making the damned things, try...

I love the cowboy robots! Two great 1950s tastes that are great together. So cute.

Comfortable is one of my favorite compliments. Mostly because before I moved into the place I'm in now, I tended to be crap at decorating so the idea that I'd put a studio together in a way that m...

This post inspired me to go measure my rather large studio. I guess I have between 450-500 sq ft including my kitchen, bathroom, and closets. I'm really happy with this exact amount of space but ...

Oh man. I go back and forth between wanting to live in a tumbleweed tiny house and wanting a 2 bedroom house all to myself. A map room/library & a darkroom are what I really want.

The framed flat screen gets a thumbs up from me. I had this very same idea the first time I saw a flat screened TV. I'm pleased to see I'm not the only one!

Not cheap, but the Barbara Anderson Galley does amazing work. http://www.barbaraandersongallery.com/ There's also the Framer...

My mom always estimates yards of fabric by putting one end at the tip of her nose and the stretching the fabric across the length from there to her finger tip. It totally works, you just need to d...

I really loved this house tour. Those silhouettes over the chair are awesome.

I have a really hard time waking up unless there's a decent amount of light in my bedroom. I wake up really early in the summer and have a difficult time waking up at that same time in the winter....

I love having coffee in bed, but I prefer not to eat in bed if I'm not sick. I always feel like there are crumbs later. Oatmeal in bed might be ok, though. It is a pretty tidy meal.

I'm lazy and have always preferred to drape. Sadly, now that I have a futon instead of a springy mattress, I have to tuck. Otherwise there's blanket all over the floor.

I love the Collie. But I thought it was an anteater when I first saw it.

I'm a student so I'm home a lot during the day. As such, I do my dished throughout the day. Generally when I eat a meal or grab a snack form the kitchen, I clean whatever is in the sink right the...

I spotted that they were gummi bears right away as well. This reminds me of the tampon chandelier I saw in Venice in 2005. (

My futon is comfortable enough for sleeping, but it's not very cozy so I only use it when I'm asleep. When I had a regular mattress, though, I spent a ton of time in bed.

I have a ton of furniture in my really-big-for-a-studio apartment. I think the thing that keeps it feeling cozy instead of overwhelming is that instead of a normal European mattress, I have a Japa...

Several professionally done portraits of herself? Was this person Cindy Sherman or something? Maybe a personal friend of Annie Leibowitz? Somehow that's weirder to me than just having a bunch of...

Ok. If 12 years of California public school disaster training taught me anything, it is that you do not want to put your bed under a window. Nor do you want to put shelves over your bed. Earthqu...

Hrm. I've moved 8 major times since 1996, when I moved to Oakland, CA for college. There were a bunch of moving-between-dorms or couch-surfing-for-a-couple-of-months semi-moves involved in there ...
