Kitchen table! I eat there, I work there, read there. The light is excellent because of two french doors leading into my backyard and I can look at the progress of my garden for a little break.

Mine aren't open on the ends, but I have a cataloging system so it would really just be luck of the draw. Finding my books easily is more important than appearances

I live in Richmond VA and some friends of mine throw a "Really Really Free Market" on the last Saturday of every month in Monroe Park. Anything that's left over at the end of the day, they ...

I like this, but it looks like more of an outdoor bedroom than a living room. There's only furniture for 2-3 people sit on during a cocktail party unless I'm missing something

Your place looks pretty sleek to me! Then again, I came home from work the day my new roommate moved in and was horrified she had started integrating her hot pink knick knacks and scented candles ...

I can imagine having a party and people setting their drinks down and spilling or sitting on the speaker and breaking it.

gorgeous! I think ultimately this works because she has quality pieces. If it were a bunch of cheap things, a person could run the risk of looking like they lived in a dorm room

make the edges safe, then put tea lights on top. creates a very pretty glow

@designphile: I'm in Richmond too! I had the same thoughts, so the confirmation is good. Now I'm thinking about what I would have taken pictures of around town...

Don't shoot the messenger people! Rebecca did say things like "a common view" and "many men," not 'GIRLS RULE AND BOYS DROOL!' If it's really that upsetting to you, write to The Simpsons producer...

This made me go "oooh!"

Yes! I have a pretty expansive container/indoor herb garden with pineapple sage, 2 varieties of basil, dill, mint, oregano, tarragon, and lavender. This year I'm part of a community garden projec...

I think I just figured out what to cover my cream couch with until I can live sans messy roommates!

the photos do appear curled to me, but the fact that all the photos have the same margins, are placed into tight rows keeps it looking too much like a teenage girl's bedroom. You can tell it took ...

full of visuals, light on the dialogue in true Sofia Coppola fashion.. let's not forget to give a nod to the hairstyles in that movie!

I've got an Ikea bed, dresses, and some bookshelves, with a few fun things like hearts and stars ice cube trays thrown in there. Ikea is about 2 hours away from me, so its cheaper for me to just g...

Another great place to look for apartment sized furniture is World Market. I've got several pieces by them. Instead of a sofa what about two love seats or a loveseat and chairs? When...

I like simple beauty and household regimens but I don't really mix the two. I'll use Dr Bronners for cleaning and as hand soap, but I've found that something that cleans my kitchen floor is just w...

This is stunning. Don't really care if its practical or not!

I really like this, mostly because its not too "match-y". Its also very familiar to me. My mom collects decorative plates as souvenirs and then hangs them on her kitchen wall. She tends t...
