Um, my crappy blinds already look "contoured" - just accidentally pull the cord unevenly a few hundred times.

At first glance I thought it was the book wall at Literati on Wilshire - http://www.literaticafe.com/ . Obviously different texture but the effect is sur...

My sister had a flowery purple canopy bed growing up and I was never once jealous, although now that I see the modern versions (I love Room & Board's Architecture bed), I realize that she was on to...

I'm thinking that the "Skilled Men" version would be welcome in the bedroom...

adamgibson - Loved your place in the small cool contest. I've been thinking of using the inhabit flats as a pseudo headboard/art piece as well. Did you attach them directly to the wall?

Is the windchime suggestion a joke? I'll have to see it to believe it. I hated these little keys until I discovered an untapped use as a cord organizer. I have a vintage sideboard-tu...

I actually don't think you need to love it. Don't get me wrong, finding "the one" after searching is satisfying and absolutely a huge plus. But I find a lot of large-scale art, especially if you'...

Impressive! It would also be great (although lose a lot of the drama) in tonal colors, like cream on white. I'd love that in the bedroom. In the meantime, I'm stealing this idea to p...

I'm a fan of displaying vinyl pretty much anywhere, but I agree that the execution of this is lacking. I like the idea, though - could be a brilliant before-and-after...

Ever since the "Keep Calm" poster started sparking controversy on AT (seriously, it's like waving a red flag in front of the AT bulls), I've thought it was perfect for work. Nice to see the artwor...

Haha, so glad someone mentioned the Snuggie - that's exactly what I was thinking! $275!?

mandabear: Don't worry - we didn't believe her! But I was surprised at how strongly she reacted, like it should have been obvious. Everybody got their something.

Is there special daffodil-giving etiquette? I watched a florist flip out when my sister mentioned wanting them at her wedding - apparently they are bad luck in certain instances... Any truth to th...

Nooooooo! Someone mentioned my secret weapon, Pepe's! I can only hope I make it back over there before all you ATers clean the place out. ;) You really have to dig there, but it's so rewarding. ...

If you're going with Feng Shui, "Move Your Stuff, Change Your Life" is incredible. I can't think of anyone more cynical than I was before reading this, but it has honestly made my life better. I'...

I loved the Tikoli ones so much that I bought 4 of them... online. They are gorgeous and actually pretty large in person but not very absorbent. They barely dry wet hands and I even followed the ...

Totally - the Irish Spring would crack me up! Remember those commercials with the stereotypical Irishman and his knife slicing off a piece of the bar? I might be inclined to convince said cute gu...

Or straight cinnamon! Ants won't cross a line of it. The Bodum Yohki jars are more modern-looking than the jars pictured above, but I've had great luck with them. Plus the lids come i...

Why the dis on Dove? Sure the imagery of "melting in a small pool" is gross, but couldn't that apply to any brand? I hope most of you have sexier things to do in the shower than use scented soap...

The one product that changed my tax-paying life is the accordion-fold file. It's not even a fancy one - just a tiny cardboard version I bought at Staples for maybe $10. I keep it in my car and or...
