Hey - that's my yellow kitchen! I love Thonet chairs. I found the one shown at a thrift store and refinished it, though I could never verify it was an authentic Thonet, it's very old though, and is possibly a Fischel or a Kohn.

I agree with JMILL9584 - Pinterest is great, but requires a little bit of effort to "follow" and "unfollow" the right folks to get to the good stuff! It's also nice to get an overview of what your style is - looking back at what you're pinning can be pretty revealing.

Nice!! I think the matching light covers is what makes it look more sophisticated than just epoxying random glassware. Awesome job. Under $5: DIY Two-Tiered Tabletop Planter Addicted 2 Decorating Flag this comment	2/9/12 11:57 AM

Do you have a door that typically stays open? My solution is to have the items on an easy to see rack on the back of a usually open door, that way it's out of view most of the time. Maybe I have more doors than most folks, though....? Storage Wars: Put Away or Display? Flag this comment	1/11/12 5:32 PM
I have some of the Reidel Vivant glasses from Target, and they're nice crystal glasses for a good price - they feel more expensive than they are! http://www.target.com/p/Riedel-Vivant-Collection/-/A-10103801 How to Shop for Wine Glasses: Low, Mid & High Flag this comment	11/16/11 1:28 PM
I'm usually not a whiner, but I'm really not liking the new scavenger format. boo. The Daily Scavenger: National Roundup 10.12.11 Flag this comment	10/13/11 9:02 AM
I got to Target at 8:10 and it was nearly all gone - piled high in carts of a handful of women! They were taking everything and sorting out what they wanted later on. The stuff I could see was hit or miss quality-wise, some if it really was poorly made. I got my umbrella and tote bag and got the heck out of there. I also can't believe that at 11am this morning, there was already tons of it on ebay - with ludicrous prices. Greedy opportunists!

Hello modelreject - it's a vintage piece that I scored from my landlord. Unfortunately I don't know it's origins or maker, but I have seen some like it on ebay. JulianneMay - It is hard to find balance, I think that's why my apartment is always changing as my tastes change, but I think I've always leaned towards the more is more approach, ha ha!

The bathroom color is "Quill" from Olympic paint at Lowe's. Amanda's DIY Experiment House Call Flag this comment	3/3/11 3:33 PM
Hi Everyone! I was busy, then sick for a few days and didn't notice my apt was posted! I'll try to answer all the questions. My shower curtains are from Ikea, I made the coffee table, the LR rug is Fez from Flor (I cut it into triangles), I made the plant shelves and the floral pillow I made from fabric samples from work. Most of my projects are detailed on my blog. I will have to try to find the paint colors when I get home, some of them were done by the landlord. Thank you for the lovely comments! It does look a bit cluttered in these pics, but not as much in real life. I'd never call myself a minimalist though, ha ha. -Amanda Amanda's DIY Experiment House Call Flag this comment	3/1/11 11:17 AM

I second redneckmodern - the Ikea FROST is hands down the best drying rack I've found! ($19!) Wooden ones eventually sag and break, but the FROST is a real workhorse. Space Saving Laundry Drying Racks Flag this comment	1/13/11 9:20 AM
