p.s. JH4285, I've been loving the arc lamp lately for some reason (never was really a fan heretofore). For what it's worth.

Thanks everyone for the tips and the woos--each and every one of them is helpful, both to my situation and to my self-esteem! (I am smiling and blushing over here!) I didn't expect such enthusiasti...

Please forgive the intimate nature of this question, but I figured if anyone could answer it, it would be you friendly folk... I recently bought the West Elm Moroccan headboard and att...

Yes, I'm biased because my apartment is painted similar colors, but I love this! Energetic yet soothing at the same time, if that makes sense.

On another note, I was at the W. 18th St. Bed Bath and Beyond yesterday looking for a Dyson Slim, and whaddya know--they're massively on sale, down to $325 or thereabouts from $465 or thereabouts!

I keep my jewelry (especially big colorful bangles) in a box on a table near my front door. It started as an accident--I placed a glass-top box on a nesting table in my living room just because it ...

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?

jlg, more power to you! My current VH1 show of choice is Celebrity Rehab.

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...

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

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.

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

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.

Back when those of us who love chocolate brown (not as a trend, but as a personal preference) despaired that all IKEA offered was blond wood, West Elm was a godsend.
