It is so refreshing to see an apartment on AT that was decorated nicely on a real budget! You have fantastic taste, and, as someone mentioned above, I love how the purple and pink don't come across...

I rather like the art in #3, but I was seeing it as a field of flowers, not snotballs.

I think I have four blankets on my bed. I used to live in a colder area, and only had a twin bed. There I had four doubled over quilts, and two blankets, for a total of ten layers. It w...

I question whether that yellow canvas qualifies as "art". Seems like a small amount of effort should be put into art, not just dumping a quart of paint on a canvas. Maybe there are some...

One could do a similar thing, but without the "leafy" top, to make it not look like the children's book corner. Personally, I love it.

I'm a big fan of silence, but sometimes I fall asleep to movies. (Old movies are great, as is Almost Famous and Amelie.) I used to fall asleep to either the Garden State soundtrack, or the Po...

It's fantastic, that's what it is. I dig the leather-esque covering. Even with the funny strapping on the arms - it adds character. Plus, a nice (faux) leather chair is so comfy.

I use one to sit up in bed and read. While I sleep, it ends up on one side of the bed out of convenience - it's darn cozy too. I also have two on my backless couch.

Another green thing you can do with your old bedding is give/sell it to a second-hand store (after washing it, of course.) Someone who needs cheap, good quality, green-ish sheets/blankets will real...

I completely agree with FiatLex. I have lots of boxes around the house - and no money for expensive pieces of plastic that won't be quite the right size. That's a great idea!

If Pandora's Box looked like that, it's no wonder it held all the evils of mankind. Yikes.

It needs to have arms! I hate "reading chairs" that I'll fall out of if I curl up.

My roommate & I totally beat domino to the punch re: faux fireplaces: http://www.flickr.com/photos/reversibleraincoat/314...

Definitely more things for renters - cheap renters. I still have a cardboard box for a coffee table, and a frameless futon for a couch. I laugh at the phrase "Design Within Reach." More...

I just want an elephant in the room.

I've gone backpacking with a cat. We had her in a fanny-pack for the hiking, or on our shoulders. She was a little freaked out, but the hiking was fine, the evening was fine. But ...

Fantastic!

We have a cat who likes to pee on bathmats. My best advice: shut the door, and pick up the mat when you're done.

Chunky oak furniture. I'm not a huge fan of those puffy, Laz-E-Boy sofas either.
