I make mine in muffin pans, it's quick and easy. I mix all of the ingredients below in a blender, pour (yes it will be liquid) into the previously oiled muffin pan, and bake for 15-20 mins at 200 C, or 395 F. Delicioso!

1 egg
85 ml olive oil
165 ml milk
170 g tapioca flour
65 g grated cheddar i mozzarella
1/2 tsp salt

kitchen stools, yes!!! love them!!!

lovely, lovely home!

love it too! i have the EXACT same pair of chairs that are waiting in line (score on cl for 40, yay!).
this chair looks great!

You will have to use the primer for plastic, otherwise your paint will not adhere.

I love your place.
When I saw your picture, I just thought: it figures!
I want to move to Portland and hang out with you.

I suppose you can't paint or hang pictures, as you are renting for a short period of time, sigh.

If you can afford it, ship your bedding sets, throw pillows, all the framed family and friends' pictures, lamps and perhaps a favourite chair, if you can. That way everything will be waiting for you when you get there, so it will feel less alien from the get-go.

If you cannot, research local craigslist a few days ahead of
time to find stuff people give away for free. Make sure that you have comfortable textiles and lamps - with those two you can achieve comfort. If you don't have framed pictures of the people you love it is easy to make a collage on a budget: print out the pics at your local Wallgreens and simply arrange them (double sided tape will work) on a huge piece of cardboard that you can hang near the entry way to remind you of the loved ones as you enter your temporary home.

Plants work wonders too, same goes for small home accessories in warm colours.
If you can, drape the windows as that will add more warmth, and bring along from home your coffee mugs and alarm clock so that you wake up the way that you are used to.
if the rental place has a balcony, set up some seating set outside and spend time out as much as you can - morning and evening sky is the same everywhere but Beijing.
Good luck!

I adore the place - it looks so comfortable and inviting.
I absolutely envy Maria on the space and would love to 'water the flowers' while she is out of town :)

Oh yeah I forgot: I would get rid of the metal cover plates for light switch and the electrical outlet.
The advice from someone above to plate the claw feet is priceless - there is a small place in Winnetka called Bellow's and they do wonderful job.

And yes, get rid of rattan baskets.

this place is just butt ugly.

I made almost exactly the same shelving unit for my former design office.
