Holy crap. Not for the faint of heart (I'm afraid of heights! and here in DC, very few of us live more than 2 or 3 stories up), but I rather like the Park Avenue view. At least that one has a littl...
50% for all basic needs? Ha! I spend 55% on rent alone (and yes, that's about as low as I can go without moving so far away from work that my transportation costs eat up the difference - I just don...
What's the price for the original Ligne Roset light? I think the fact that I can't track down the price anywhere is an indication that I'll have to sell my firstborn child to afford it... so, for n...
I have one of these (the IKEA version) and I love it... you can always put a lower-watt bulb in it to soften the light, and you can use the plastic frame as a template to cut a new one out of fancy...
Love the look of the wood. I don't have any ties to CA, so I'm not interested in the shape, but it reminds me of a similar coffee table I saw a while back that was in the shape of D.C.... very cool.
Sell the bookshelf/desk combo. Used Expedit furniture that's still in good condition is in pretty high demand on Craigslist, and you can put that money into a different Ikea/Craigslist/yard sale pi...
I LOVE IT!
I'm an event planner, and I think this is a great idea. Yes, it's more expensive than buying a cut tree and hauling it home yourself, but you're paying for the handling/deli...
$850 per square foot is ABSURD, even for new york. I just closed on a place in DC (which is cheaper, but not by a whole lot) that's almost 5 times the size, and the price per square foot is about h...
This is neither a split-level (the front door leads directly into the main living area) or a bungalow (no low-slung wide porch, roof is gabled the wrong way). Definitely a rambler/ranch (it doesn't...
area rugs!
I always like robin's egg blue with brown. I also like the ideas of throwing in other neutrals (white, black, even gray, if you pick a shade whose value isn't too close to ...
I second akay's suggestion to talk to you landlord.
Also, take a look at your local housing laws. In many jurisdictions it's illegal not to have some sort of ventilation in a bathroom...
At the very least, if you aren't going to go back for a full-time degree in design right away, look into continuing education classes at your local art/design school.
I don't know whe...
Oh, the Wellesley cheese shop... so good!! I haven't been there since I graduated a few years ago.
I also love DiBruno Bros. in the Italian Market in Philadelphia. Their most popular ...
chusmabilly,
most major cities won't allow you to throw anything away that isn't bagged and in a closed trash can (aside from bulk removal, which is by appointment anyway). here in DC...
Definitely my Eames rocker, which my grandmother bought in the early 60s. Plus (and it doesn't count as furniture, but is just as important to my household), my great-grandmother's cast-iron skille...

Awww! Makes me miss my native Tennessee. But I could never afford to even eat there, much less stay in the hotel... oh well.

I love Hatch Show Print! Definitely a must-visit if you're ever in Nashville.
