Half of me says yeah, I would go for this! The other side of me is thinking of all the bacteria grown on these in labs, and all the places we might set down a drink, etc... Jelloware Edible Cups (P.S. They're Vegan!) Flag this comment	1/15/11 8:56 PM
Lately I've also decided to get the items we use/run out of when they are super-cheap on sale, AND the brands/items we use. The only thing I am still working on is some workable organization/hiding spots. How about some tips??? Stocking Up So You Don't Run Out (of Toilet Paper) Flag this comment	1/12/11 8:56 PM

I agree--pretty boring! What about something original, instead of just one-size-fits-all prints? I mean, just check out what's available in your area--you can find plenty that is affordable and can really make the space for you. Try a local art college.

I am envisioning a frightening "diy" verson of salmon leather--say an after-dinner project? ick. @japanese2english, your comments on the fish leather are corny and hilarous. A Leather Alternative: Salmon Skin \| Apartment Therapy San Francisco Flag this comment	4/9/10 4:52 PM

I did this!--sort of... on a really small scale, and painted them white to go with my tiny kitchen. They are definitely different...I still have mixed feelings about the open shelving thing but I think it works for certain kitchen types. I like it, anyways! Kind of reminds me of the wine-box kitchen shelving post that was up a long, long time ago, which is where i got the idea when looking for alternate kitchen cabinets/shelves on the diy side...

I really like the suggestions that mjr had for your room. Your sofa is already so neutral, you might end up with a bland, boring room if you neutralize everything. I'd suggest painting that stripe of ceiling that is lower than the rest to blend in with the wall better, or match the top green area with the ceiling--right now it is too choppy/angular. Throw down a nice rug like foggirl9 said.....and try the site http://www.knockoffwood.blogspot.com to find some ideas for coffee/end/tv tables. Keep these low/unobtrusive. Lastly, pick some more interesting throw pillows for the couch but not too many...you will be good to go (as long as you hide the rodent cage). Lots of potential! Help! Which Layout is Better?

I was going to say--Vermeer and also Edward Hopper. I love painting interiors & seeing paintings of interior spaces. Vilhem HammershÃ¸i: A Painter Known for Interiors \| Apartment Therapy New York Flag this comment	2/26/10 4:00 PM
Lol--I see them and think "chair condoms." Sorry. ....and how would one keep them from falling down? I can just see what's coming next--suspenders, or chair garters? I want to sit in my chairs, not dress them up. Still, it's kinda silly, isn't it? :p Chair Personality Socks \| Apartment Therapy DC Flag this comment	2/22/10 7:05 PM
Mancala! we have a larger solid-wood (not folding) board with these colored glass "lumps" for pieces. it's fun to play for any age and looks inviting/nice. (could also switch out the glass baubles for smooth pebbles, etc. depending on the look of your room... I also go for a good game of Cribbage--there are some nice boards out there, or maybe you know a good woodworker who could make one for you ;) Board Games That are Fun to Look At Fun to Play Roundup \| Apartment Therapy DC Flag this comment	2/17/10 11:12 PM

I would like to know how to zest/ remove peel from a lemon without chunking it, or taking up bits of the pith. If there is a trick or shortcut out there that someone can share, please do!

I can see a rug with some combination of contrasting colors, like red and gold (maybe muted?) to separate the furniture from the carpeting. Right now the grey, sea foam, and green are all too neutral. You really need something warm in there. Then switch out the vertical blinds for some softer panels to complement the rug and flat file. And one or two pillows with similar colors. Having a color or style repeat throughout the room will help tie it together. Maybe you have some interesting prints stored in that flat file that you can hang? A Rug to Match My Vintage Flat File?

This summer my family and I renovated a barn on my parents property (only 1 floor, smaller than this one) into a simple, studio-type apartment. It's a great project, but of course way bigger than we'd ever imagined. The wood stove is great for making things cozy! Can't wait to see how things progress!
