Sending textbooks to impoverished countries is NOTHING AT ALL like sending soiled underwear to Goodwill! What a truly ridiculous and ignorant statement. Every university requires diffe...

Those are gorgeous! Nice selection!

My two dogs and cat sleep in the bed with me, I wouldn't have it otherwise. I often find it hard to sleep without them when I'm out of town.

The first thing I do in a hotel room is put away all the print advertising clutter left by the hotel; room service menus, guest guides, etc. It makes a big difference!

So you don't have a fly problem, good for you! Many of us live in very populous, urban areas, and a flies are not necessarily indicative of keeping our personal spaces dirty. I've noticed quite a f...

It appears that kayak.com and sidestep.com are kind of the same thing. Same page skin, same search engine. Just FYI. Cool though, hadn't heard of either before!

Ha! Hooray for you! I had my first Echo Park paddle boat excursion last month when a friend was in town visiting. I had been wanting to do it forever, but didn't want to do it alone. ;) It was actu...

Snoopy - I thought the same thing about the vanity. I'm hoping to get to a store soon to check it out, but I'm thinking that in the world of flat-pack, assembly-required, you will probably be able ...

Oh I see, I assume the store is in Australia?

What thrift store is this?

I saw a great living wall the other day. In the outdoor foodcourt of the Target center at Santa Monica and La Brea. I think it was above the Jamba Juice. Look almost identical to this one but cove...

I love it! The print collection is great, the whole space feels so uncluttered but still very comfortable. I love that you've managed to include a defined area for everything in such a small space...

I used to pot exclusively in assorted clear glass, and it looked amazing. Gifted out the collection when I moved though, just too daunting to pack all those plants for a cross-country move. :(

I recently purchased some lanterns from paperlanternstore.com. I got the nylon versions instead of the paper so they would be more weatherproof, and this weekend I rigged solar lighting on the in...

le_sacre - Is that a George Crumb score on your wall?! I had wanted to frame large prints from the more adventurous Makrokosmos II scores, but never thought of taking them that large. Great...

aspw : I'm not sure if you have them in Chicago, but I always get those at Harbor Freight tools (it's a discount tool store). Sets of 4 are around than $15-20; they always seem to have some i...

chusmabilly : I'm not familiar with the downtown place you're talking about... can you give more info (approx address ot cross-streets)?

PS - I also really like the rug under the dining table!

I like the placement of the sideboard/dresser as a foot board for the bed, especially the treatment to the back of the piece that would normally be against a wall (but is now exposed). Good idea!

I most often go to Silverlake with my two creatures, because it's the quickest, easiest one to get to. But I prefer Laurel Canyon when I have the time to drive over there. I find the owners are a l...
