It gives me the creeps when I see an animal hide rug in a store - I'll try to walk around instead of on them. Even if it's humane and all that, I personally don't like the idea of walking on the f...
Hmm, my old bedroom in the apt I moved out of a few months ago was narrower than the first picture with the white bed. There was literally no room to get out on either side of the full bed. I had...
This reminds me of my dad's old beer can Christmas decorations, where he cut the logo out of the aluminum beer can and made a whole near the top to add a string to hang it! I'm quite fond of them ...
I don't plan on having a Christmas tree anytime soon (I can't imagine storing decorations in a small apt for 11 months out of the year), but a friend showed me a picture she took of a Christmas tre...
I brought a few branches of colorful fall leaves back to my apartment. They dried up a little, but still look beautiful! I like these better than buying fresh flowers for the apt.
I had a 2 1/2 hour wait in Harlem. I heard one person in line say that the polling places in NYC could only accomodate 16% of the voters assigned to each polling site. Don't know if that's true.
I use a 24 ounce Classico jar to drink water out of at work. I even got a compliment on it once! At home, we use smaller empty jars for regular drinking glasses. I love that they're so much more...
I buy cereal at Trader Joe's or Whole Foods (their own 365 brand). It's never more than $3.49 for organic!
In college, I would collect up the unwanted textbooks that other people di...

I usually love the industrial aesthetic, but I don't care for this. And it's way too expensive!
I have a big plant of the purple oxalis. It's very beautiful and easy to grow. Mine gets lots of sunlight and water and does fine.
I'm going to try growing basil in a pot on the windowsill. Might try a few other things like parsley and thyme too.

I download the manual online and then recycle the paper copy. If it's not online, I usually don't toss it.
My first NYC room was on the fifth floor in an elevator building. My next two apts were/are a third floor walk-up.

Thanks! I needed the reminder that it's not about achieving a beautiful end result, but rather the process of creating a happy, healthy home!
It depends on the size of the collection.
Whimsical, but minimal, and I love old, metal industrial things!
In NYC, Whole Foods has 'landfill' written on their trash cans as well. Definitely made me think the first time I saw it.
Anyone know about the quality of their sofas? I love the look of them!
Macouns. Pink ladies are also good.
