I love seeing my family, and I'm especially looking forward to doing so this year. Both my brother and I moved across the continent (in opposite directions) away from our childhood home this past ...

Well, it was actually reasonably accurate for my Pisces self-- blues and greens, curved lines/shapes, a few fishtanks, a deep affinity for water in general. I attribute a few of those things to gr...

When I lived in res, we had no kitchens whatsoever and had a pretty strict limit on what we could have in our rooms-- a mini fridge and an electric kettle, basically. Cleaning staff came in weekly...

I've lost two Pyrex bowls to my cat-- she's a terribly messy eater, so I find a slightly larger dish helps her not get food absolutely everywhere. This same cat also is of the no-water-glass-is-sa...

It looks beautiful!

The colors in the photograph are really gorgeous.

When I was searching for my current apartment, I had the most tremendous stroke of luck in finding it-- it was the first and only one I even looked at, actually. Everything just fell into place: ...

Reading these comments, I feel ridiculously lucky with my first and only roommate, even though she and I didn't work out more than about a month and a half. I am like the world's lightest sleeper,...

I don't iron my clothes very often, but I sew, thus I iron fabric I'm working with all the time. A good press is so key to good sewing and good quilting, and my current iron sucks, so this would b...

I've loooved these prints for a month-ish now, but haven't been able to justify ordering them when my walls were already not lacking decoration. Anyway, I'm a big fan of c/v for browsi...

I'd use it to grill steak-- I have a decent grasp of other meats' 'doneness', but not so much with beef.

I saw one of these over the weekend and just about died-- gorgeous.

All things Marimekko are on sale at FinnStyle, too, oddly enough (and that would be finnstyle.com). Anyway, I don't actually like the Unikko print, but I love some of the less loud Mar...

Those wondering about the pillow-- it looks like one of Galya Rosenfeld's designs. It's available in a few different colorways, and I've seen them at Branch, but I'd assume they're sold elsewhere...

We have a grill wok that we really love using, not so much for vegetables as we usually put those on kebabs, but rather for cut up little new potatoes seasoned well and tossed in olive oil. We use...

gorgeous :)

Birdie-- you definitely aren't. Also, we've been running into the same problem as tbe (though it's way past 'starting'). We haven't figured out a solution ourselves, so I definitely s...

I loooooove grilling kebabs with meat (chicken, beef, lamb, whatever) marinated in spiedie sauce the night before. I have no idea how the marinade made, since we've always bought the State Fair Sp...

While I like modern furnishings and decor, I tend not so much to like modern architecture, and when I do like it, it's more of an aesthetic oh-that's-nice versus wanting to occupy a modern home mys...
