I want to say it's only for iphone, and it's called Sleep Cycle Alarm Clock by Maciek Frejak Labs.

Sleep Cycle app for iphone has made waking up so much easier. It tracks your movement while you sleep, and wakes you up in a half hour window when you're in light sleep, so you feel less groggy. I've been using it almost a year and I swear by it. I'm also now a sleep stats dork, so there's that. But really, it's an awesome little $1 app that has made mornings a lot easier for me, so I'll keep telling everyone I know (and some people I don't know). :)

Hooray for not being the only one! Although I still don't want to admit exactly how often I do this...

I don't live alone, and still look like garbage at home. No bra, sticking-straight-up bangs, old glasses. Ha ha. It never EVER fails that if I run outside to my car or to turn sprinklers on that there's a neighbor outside. Always. There's no doubt it would benefit me to look more picante so my heart doesn't stop when the doorbell rings, but hey, if I can't not care that much at home, then what's the point?

@DavidAlex Right?! There are quite a few DIY ideas out there for similar shapes, for what it's worth, ala: http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/diy-sputnik-cha-147416

@DavidAlex, it might be vintage but it looks veeeerrry similar to the Satellite Chandelier at DWR: http://www.dwr.com/product/satellite-chandelier.do?sortby=ourPicks&page=2

@Tanni I believe the new light is a Fly Suspension by Kartell: http://www.lumens.com/FLY-Suspension-Lamp-by-Kartell/PAAAIAKCKLBHMGDB/product

I actually checked comments just to see if anyone else was bothered by the shoes on the bed thing --- eeek! Shoes are dirty, Craig!

I would agree with @Duane Hill a little bit -- if that's at the top of your list for what's important right now (not judging if it is) then maybe you want to rethink living with her. I took the same step back at 27 and unemployed, and while I was none to happy about it, it's not like my mom was super pumped to have a roommate all of a sudden, either. She's lived alone, in her own space, to decorate or not decorate as she wants and was kind enough to let me in and take up half of it. So, her shabby chic bathroom and shoe pile by the door and beaded art and all the crap I'd never have in my own home wasn't really my problem. The best I did was keep things really tidy so clutter was as minimal as it could be. Which she appreciated, since her house was clean. But did I use that clash of styles as motivation to get my own place? Damn straight! But honestly, even though it's your mom, it's not like she and her home are fair game....

Is the stairwell print the Marimekko "Helsinki" print listed? Any chance there is a source for it? It's fantastic!!!
