I agree with the previous comments -- I would love to visit the hotel during the day, go to its restaurant, etc, but I could never sleep there. Not all sea creatures are cute! Clearly Special: A Hotel Bedroom Under the Sea Flag this comment	7/15/11 12:50 PM
I'm lucky to have a sister who will house sit/cat sit. I'm pretty sure the cats love her more than me! Tips & Tricks: Coming Home to Happy Pets & Plants Reader Intelligence Report Flag this comment	7/14/11 3:22 PM
Good luck Mary! I'm excited to see the final result.

These posts are inspiring! I bought a billboard size "Gone With the Wind" movie poster circa 1950's that is so rare I can't even give it a value because there is nothing to compare it to. The art is completely different from any of the poster variants you usually see -- it has classic scenes from the movie with little captions and is all in warm sepia tones. Anyone know? I love it no matter the value, I'm just curious. You Paid WHAT for That? Best Secondhand Finds Ever Flag this comment	6/21/11 4:03 PM
Good custom framing. If you really want to protect a piece of art you can't cut corners on this. Biggest Indulgences: What Did You Pay Full Price For? Flag this comment	5/24/11 2:50 PM

SO lovely! You have an amazing eye for design and are most definitely getting my vote in this contest. Rashon's Thrifted Treasures Flag this comment	4/13/11 6:45 PM
Ahhh, memories. The first Small Cool contest happened to be going on the first time I ever visited Apartment Therapy. I'm glad to see Patrick's slide show back up (the link was broken for a while). His apartment still looks fabulous, though I would love to find out if it has changed since then. I remember the other finalists being really good too -- particularly the "Golden Handcuffs" apartment. Small Cool Hall of Fame: All the Winners… So Far Flag this comment	3/29/11 6:35 PM
I recently moved into a house where you walk through a short hallway (closets on either side) to get to the master bathroom. When we moved in there was NO DOOR either to the start of the hallway or the start of the bathroom. Since doors are always left open during house showings I didn't even notice the absence of a door until we were in contract. Luckily adding one was easy (there was already a door jamb). Anyway, it has led to a lot of speculation about the couple who lived there previously, and a lot of jokes between my husband and I! The hallway provides a bit of separation, but it is not one of those palatial bathrooms where everything is spread out. I mean, you could literally see the toilet from the bed -- EWW.

I read this organizing tip in a magazine and it has been a godsend: clear hanging shoe organizers for items other than shoes. I've used them for scarves and sunglasses in a coat closet, for chargers and cords, for small pantry items...you name it. They are cheap, easy to find and hang, and endlessly useful. I'm sorry I can't credit where I read this -- I would like to thank the author!

I love your design advice quotes -- I would have chosen the exact same ones. You obviously took them to heart in designing your home. Caitlin's Art Deco Apartment with a Parisian Flair House Tour Flag this comment	11/18/10 4:06 PM

I love the way the room as a whole (with all the furnishings and colors) reads "peacock" rather than it just being painted peacock blue or something. A very pretty and inviting space. Erin's "Peacock" Living Room Flag this comment	10/14/10 8:28 PM

Definitely, try craigslist first. However I have stuff in my house made of faux and "bonded" leather and I think it can be fine. Especially for something that is just an occasional seat anyway. Should I Go for the Budget Friendly Pouf? Good Questions Flag this comment	9/23/10 8:56 PM
