We get movies from our local library. They have current movies and even tv/cable show sets. We might be a season behind, but it's saved us tons of money!

i personally see nothing wrong with books as decoration. are they only to go in your 'library'? i have my favorites out in the living areas to encourage guests to peruse them and coincidently the covers and subjests go with my decor. your decor reflects your tastes and likes so why wouldn't books fall in that category as well. if you happen to have an extensive collection why not group them by color and get an extra punch out of them. i'm not for books strickly as a decorative element by which i mean someone buys books they think are stylish and fan them out on the coffee table for status. but if you own them because you love them why not show them off?

i like the picture railing as opposed to a book shelf for storage and showcasing. i like to put my favorite books in the common spaces and the covers tend to go with my decor anyway, why not use them as art as well?

love the fun and funky feel of it. i HAVE to know where you got the Amelie pictures. i have loved those pictures ever since i saw the movie and would love to have a set myself.

i got this sponge one time in my continuing efforts to be more naturale and it works as well as a sponge can be expected. while i appreciate the effort to make the packing more purposeful, the birdfeeder isn't very practical. it's a small pattern you cut out and assemble with tabs and such. just putting the box outside with some seed in it is much easier to do. :)

this seems kind of weird to me. i understand a need for therapy pets like for nursing homes or shut ins. yet who needs a pet fix enough to pay a membership? i agree with what you said about borrowing a friend's pet. this way you get your fix and are doing a service for your friend by petsitting. another thought is how do the animals do with being shuttled around from house to house. don't pets need a place to call their own? our pets miss us when we leave and jump for joy when we get home. how does a dog do that has no real owner? this sounds, at first glance, more like pets as a status symbol or commodity and not as a companion.

am i crazy for thinking that $35 is silly for something you can make out of a pant hanger and a mirror tile you pulled off the wall in your bedroom redo?

love the wall treatments. i might have to filch your fabulousness for my walls!

an idea would be to sew solid, sheer, solid horizontal stripe curtains. the top solid stripe would hide the wall from the ceiling to the top of the window, the sheer would be over the window and the bottom solid stripe would be from the bottom of the window to whatever length you want. this gives the illusion of having a long window without losing any light.
