@jmorri26 - deliberately taking sand really shouldn't be encouraged, however, you might want to consider gathering what you bring in (from flipflops, beach toys, and so forth) and putting it in pretty little jars.

@daniellek,

Nope - you are neither lame nor uncool. Then again, it takes one dragon to know one (and there are a few of us still around).

Reminds me of my road warrior days and all those hotel rooms that was "home" everywhere.

@sandsdesign - I like your idea, thanks! Current (rented) flat has one with the fridge compartment as large as an undercounter and a top-mount freezer about half again as large. Not complaining, but a side-by-side would have been ideal. I think I'll steal the concept when I get my permanent home.

@HongKonger,
Amen on the Pantone numbers - and just "listening" in on all the comments proves why color names seem to be more a creation of the marketing department.
So while everyone is having an energetic argument about exactly what color is THAT, the folks at Pantone are laughing all the way to the bank, since their (very expensive) books remain true to shade and tint only for 1 year.
Ditto leaving the problem with the printer - when I used to work for a company with a very exact color scheme to be implemented worldwide, I used to drive our vendor nuts when I insisted they follow the Pantone numbers we issued. (Guess that happens when they call a particular color after you, but that's another story)

@KimberlyRose - I totally agree.
I work for a construction design and engineering company, and we push for properly designed, built and maintained buildings, since our field experience has proven it actually saves everyone a heck of a lot of money and heartache.
Our field experience also shows that tenants don't mind paying a fair rent (and on time!) if building management maintains the facility properly

Love all the opposing views on that chandelier. Personally, I think seeing it everyday will just remind me to laugh at the day's annoyances.

I sent that picture to a deep-sea explorer I know - let's see what a pro thinks, since that "hot mess" is what a shipwreck gets to be given time and fishing damage.

@Trish1980 - looks like you've got it right. Carpenter friend of mine calls it a "DIY plumb bob".

And the size of the key gives you an idea of how big (or small) the actual thing is

I go with anna82883 - my current palette is dark brown furniture (lucked out, furniture came with the apartment), all white linens, and blue accent pieces with occasional bits of yellow-beige and green thrown in.

Reminds me of the ocean, without being too cute or precious.

You might want to add more plants to your place.
