This isn't a rug comment, but a C&B comment--their acrylic throw seriously sheds, too. Which is a problem considering the whole purpose of the throw is that it covers you and your furniture. I have...
Here here, Christine and AmyV. My sleek new 37" LCD is the focal point of my living room and that's fine by me. I love TV. After 31 years I've finally decided to stop hiding that fact. TV is fantas...
This isn't a super-helpful response either, but my apartment looks exactly like yours, and my furniture's set up the exact same way! You don't live in Gramercy, do you? (I know there are probably a...
But...there are LA and SF sites for the West Coasters. Never mind, it's up now! It's just that this is a blog--the winners coulda been announced at 9 pm last night if the motivation was there.
Wow--I have a lot of the same colors in my own place (blue bedroom, and the green in one bedroom is my living room color) but this gives me such inspiration to take it to the next level. So fun and...
I don't think West Elm is trying to be Eames or Saarinen. My friends and I always saw them as the darker-wood counterpart to IKEA--similar price point and concept, but they had to differentiate the...
I was welcomed last month, but I'll take it again! As I posted on the last Open Thread (possibly too late for folks to read), you all rock my wooden-floored world. Thanks so much for the great tips.

J, thank you thank you thank you--that sounds perfect (and rather like magic). I've actually searched this site several times for advice on scratched wood floors, but that post never came up. ...
Re: bedroom rugs. Never used one, want to buy one now. I assume from this photo that you needn't have the rug underneath at least part of the bed (as is true for a rug under a living room sofa)?
So...I scratched up the wood floors in my new co-op while moving my bedframe. I swear I was ultra-cautious...but now there are long, 1/8"-deep scratches on my bedroom floor. Not even in straight li...
Feelingpunchy, that couch reminds me of one Macy's has right now. I think it's called the Corona.
Elevenhound's question reminds me of a similar one I had: Do any Top Design watchers k...
Hear hear, Curtis. When I moved to NYC after college, I shared a 1-bedroom with a stranger, living in the living room while she had the bedroom. It wasn't snobbery about the boroughs (I later moved...

LOVE those, sciencegeek. Thanks for posting the link!
Has anyone tried the towels from West Elm? What do you think about softness, durability, color-fastness, absorbency?

Lovely! Did you redo the kitchen, or did the previous owner?

Okay, but seriously, who won the Fall Colors Contest? Only one city has posted the results.
