Oh wow... not as completely in love with the interiors... but OMG that exterior!

Wow, some folks need a sense of humor. That's the best thing about this post, that she was laughing so hard when she took the photo that it's blurry. When you live with someone long enough some o...

Ok, you need more drama. Your mantel looks fine for everyday, but you're having a party! Also, the stuff you have is not working. I would say ditch the horseshoe-- the scale is completely off. ...

Oh god, we had bird mites start coming into my old apartment in LA... pigeons in the roof tiles. It was AGONY, nothing stopped them, including fumigation. Honestly the only thing that worked was ...

Your landlord is right about those tiles! Don't hurt them, they look really nice. New grout *would* be a plus though... =)

LOL we have the same wedding colors (for next May)... they set a high bar! I'm not sure if I'm motivated or discouraged. =P

Gosh, I totally thought this would be a helpful post on pawnshops, selling things on Craiglist, and holding yard sales! ;) To those who feel able snark about people who don't have savings... do t...

This is mostly not my style, but so much fun! I really really covet the jewelry store sign and the art over the bed though... sigh.

Lol, I have to disagree that it's safer to lend to family than friends-- I trust my friends with my stuff (after all, I choose my friends) FAR more than I trust my family! Family is not necessaril...

Ooh, we have a huge palm in our bedroom and some giant peace lilies and maiden hair ferns in the kitchen... I have a bunch of giant glazed pots from either Home Depot or OSH that are waiting for oc...

I think the bases are fine, just recover the shades in a fun print and you're good to go.

Giant butterfly nets! Fiance is an ecologist who studies butterflies... similarly, lots of weird electronics used for measuring climate data. They look like bombs, he gets a lot of hassle from ai...

West Elm window stuff is beyond awful; I second the negative reviews on their rugs (shedding.. shedding... more shedding). Really nice throw pillow covers at good prices though! Potte...

Oh, I saw them at all the flower stands on my way to work today! Love, love, love. I desperately want them for my wedding flowers but we are going the destination route so I think I'm out of luck...

In Said Business School in Oxford they have 2 amazing maps of airline flight paths, one for each side of the globe, printed in white on dark blue or black (can't recall). They're HUGE, maybe 5 x 4...

Oh you poor thing... I had to deal with a similar situation in Hong Kong. Avoid Ikea, it's not a good deal in Asia compared to the amazing stuff you can get at the markets (and those ominpresent J...
