I do this because I'm a visual thinker. However, I only have about 2 shelves of colored books, and the rest are grouped as ginormous art history books. In my old apartment, I did rainbow order but alternating on two bookcases on either side of the TV. So it was pinks and reds on one case, orange on the next case, yellow on the first, etc. I grouped items with similar colors on those shelves, but none of them were stuffed full. I had plenty of black shelf to balance it. I think that's the key: giving space for each color to breathe.

I'm with AeonElpis. I don't want to listen to your child scream and carry on any more than I want a dog to sniff my crotch and drool on me.

I've been dreaming of being able to paint. Beige boxes are all I've known for 26 years. I know what colors I always like seeing in the photos on this site so my vision is working with what I have. I'd like to do a celadon green in my living room, gray in the dining room, peacock in the bedroom, and something REALLY bold in the bath.

That Albers platter is GORGEOUS! And perfect with my current selction of various green dinnerware. And there's a purple in my dining room!

$850 a month including water for a 2br/2ba 1050 sq. ft. apartment in Nashville in a nice area. Too bad the bad isn't very well maintained. Apartments are ridiculous here. You either have to live in an outer suburb to get an affordable new place, pay more than in Atlanta to live near the city, or live in an older not so great place. There are WAY more condos than apartments here, and property owners know Vandy students will pay anything.

In ATL:

$500 for a basement sublet
$475 for 1 BR in a luxury 3 bedroom split with 2 roommates
$835 for a 2 BR/1 BA house next to Emory w/ not central AC
Best deal: cat sitting for a summer in a condo built in the 40s for free

I met Philip Moulthrop on my very first day at The Carter Center as their art and volunteer assistant. They have several Moulthrop and Maloof wood pieces in the collection that were given to Pres. Carter (who is a woodworker by hobby as well). So gorgeous to see in person, especially Philip's Spalted Silver Maple piece that he dropped off that day.

This is the best thing I can find to kill mold and mildew in grout and on tile. Vinegar, enzymes, Mrs. Meyers, BonAmi, Concrobium, steam mopping, bleach, NOTHING was able to get the mildew off of my bathroom floor except this sucker. Maybe if my landlord would actually fix the ventilator to VENTILATE, I wouldn't have this problem, but I'd rather try this and quickly vacuum the floor than fill my house with bleach fumes.

"Not designed as a mattress." From the Foam Furniture page for that item. Oops.

I've got that big, dumb fluorescent strip in my kitchen that makes everything look yellow. It's awful. Any tips to cancel out that funky cast?

What do these people think when designing rentals? Boob lights, tacky brass, cable jacks 5 feet from an outlet. Wow.

Um, what's with the purple CARPET in the one photo? Who carpets their bathroom??????

I *kind* see where the zebra thing is going. It's sort of gothic and funky. You'll never be able to sell your house with it though.
