Dang, you're right. That's just silliness.

It's cute but wouldn't your keys slip down into that slot? I like the grenade bank b...

My first thought was aubergine, chocolate or charcoal. Sometimes if you don't have much light, it's just better to go with it and embrace the cozy.

Well, I personally love theme parties. And potlucks. Luckily my friends do too.

@Lisa Every time I saw a turquoise accent wall in the color contest, it made me want to repaint my bedroom. Darn it.

Man, that first photo is gorgeous. I love me some LivingEtc. If I had solid word chairs, I'd slap some cushions on those suckers in a heartbeat. Pier 1 and Cost Plus World Market both...

Oh, and Goldfrapp. Allison forever!

Great post! The band Air is always on my go-to dinner party playlist. You can talk over it but it's soooooo good when you stop to listen.

I was wondering what kind of parties people are throwing where sweat stains are an issue.

Reading these comments reminds me why I'd never in a million years send photos of my home to AT. Not the constructive comments, just the mean-spirited name-calling ones. So unnecessary.

Maybe that's a guest room? I think for a guest closet, a bright color would be totally fun.

I have a shameful soft spot for Cameron Diaz, but I thought this movie was crap. However, that cottage was so perfect.

Thanks for the link to Elloh on etsy. I clicked through and I have to say, I really love her stuff. In fact, I bought a print (though not of Audrey). I think I'll be back for a few Christmas gifts....

We have a lovely 3BR/3BA duplex in a great neighborhood in Chicago. The first place we tried to rent fell through. It was the same size, same neighborhood, and more expensive by $610/mo. Needless t...

Lady J, I agree. Both of my favorites got knocked out yesterday, and I think they are probably the ones you're referring to above. I do understand why AT made the contest completely democratic this...

Several months ago, Martha Stewart Living had a photo of one of the bazillion rooms in one of her bazillion houses where the trim and wall were painted the same color, and it looked gorgeous. She s...
