Wood. So in my house I have wood. No sense in arguing with the paint people.

My homelife is great, but I have a "problem" with my coworkers; & yes, clearly it is MY problem since they do not seem to care! Open drawers & cupboards, never cleaning out the refrigerator, not being helpful & refilling the coffee bar area, not washing out a coffee pot if one was left overnight & just getting a new one, the soggy sponge on the counter, filthy microwave, spills left on surfaces, etc.

I feel like the maid/mom cleaning up after them, but when I've tried to "relax" & leave them be it is a disaster area - & this is just with 6 of us here. When we host events it is even worse & also includes the restrooms & pretty much any other space they have
Tazmanian Deviled. Such is life, I guess!

Am I the only one who appreciates woodgrain? Everyone's kitchen should cater to their personal taste (& this kitchen does look very nice), but I would love a feature on keeping the cabinets & fixing up everything around them. Maybe there are some in the depths of the archives - off I go!

Hooray for my favourite table! Curves are nice, but straight is great for small spaces where one is often playing Tetris with their belongings.

I also like that while the Parsons style is essentially a modern design there is something primitive about it.

Extra point for a brown(ish), boxy couch & 2 black Parsons tables for a coffee table. (I, too, have a brown, boxy couch & those 2 tables, though mine are separated. As it happens I also used to have an old school chair piled high with books & magazines. Are we the same person?!)

I love how your place looks lived in & how after a long day it is probably the best place to be - very comfy!

In an emergency, all loved ones, the guinea pig & a hideous (but I love it) Bavarian vase of my great-great grandmother's.

In a regular move, all of the above & probably my hand-me-down dresser. It was my grandparents' from a complete '60s bedroom set. It weighs a ton & has so many dings, but is has survived many moves & flights of stairs officially growing on me.

I've noticed that in posts about renting, there is often mention of removing/swapping features in the apartment or house. With AT's love of small spaces just where, exactly, is everyone storing the doors, hardware & occasionally light fixtures that they remove?

As I always say, if I don't have to live there, who cares what colour it is? BUT, if pressed, I would never like to look at chalkboard paint ever again. Black & dark grey sure, chalkboard no.

Never a fan of the show, but I was partial to Samantha's Princess phone on Sex and The City.

(Also, hamburger phone for $9.99 at Uxcell. They have several other kitschy phones, too.)

Thank you, melange! I revisited this post just the other day to see if anyone had posted any information (must have been just prior to your comment!). I have searched all over, but to no avail. No presentation binders even come close.
