Very timely for me. I'm in the process of moving too. This will be the second time in 26 years, so I'm not very experienced at this!! One thing that was suggested to me last time I moved was a First Night Box. In it I packed all my bedding, two towels, toiletries, (bubble bath), comfy pj's and a phone charger. That went right in my bedroom so that by the end of the day of the move, I could relax, get clean and go to bed in comfort. This time as I'm packing, my First Night Box or boxes were the first things to get packed. Thanks for all the tips and I need to go as I've got to get packin~!

Thanks for inspiring me. I had one almost identical. I made it white and gold! Thank goodness for the Rust-Oleum!! I was going to sell it on my Etsy site, but I liked it so much, I kept it! D'oh!

@nomadchicky that was an amazing experience going through your flickr! I have been looking for an upholstery class everywhere in Los Angeles. What a lot of work, but what an amazing job!

Gosh, I just sold a lamp very similar to these and had no idea of the maker. No label or ID at all.

Mine had a lamp shade that appeared to be vintage, alas, it didn't fit the actual lamp. However, my lamp repair guy said it could easily be modified. I suggest, you try thrift stores for old shades. They don't HAVE to match and then fit them to your lamp. And if you ever find out the maker, please post!

Years ago, (mid 90's), I looked at a house in Toluca Lake, CA, which is pretty pricey. This one was a fixer but it was on a double lot, had a pool, guest house and was an old Hollywood Spanish style building. Since it was such a hot mess, it was priced well below any house in the neighborhood, but alas at $450K it was still way over our budget....Anyone from LA, knows $450K in todays market will get you a nice little condo in Studio City...maybe. Anyway, someone else snatched it up and completely refurbished it. Kept all the original charm and beauty..(at least outside). Occasionally I will drive by and sigh...Oh that one got away and I still get a little teary just thinking
about it.

mschatelaine, as someone who came of age and had my first house in the 80's I couldn't agree more. I love the show, but it's a hodge podge and not accurate at all.

Love the girls room! I want that orb chair. Most of the rooms however look like a contemporary art museum. If the owner is happy though....it's perfect! I however would probably be breaking things and staining things on a daily basis if I lived here! LOL

I love AT and think Maxwell and friends have great taste, so I check out the video. While it's not the greatest song/video ever made, it was fun to look at with great production values and a mildly catchy tune. There are a lot of amazing artists out there who could have used a boost from a huge blog such as apartment therapy...so that's my only complaint..that this one artist was given so much more publicity than he already has. That being said, I then clicked on the acoustic link suggested by Maxwell of Justin singing, "All Around the World" and WOW! I really liked that and now I do get what all the fuss is about. Great voice, adorable and loads of charisma. Will I ever buy a Justin Bieber song? I doubt it, but that was really good and impressive.
And yes, people can be kinda snide on the comments. With so much negativity out there in the world, wouldn't it be refreshing to hear positive, uplifting and encouraging rather than cynical, mean, and narrow minded? I think so.
Happy 2013. Blessing to you all.

My only question for Susan is, how do you ever leave this amazing space? I wouldn't be able to go outside without wanting to plop down and relax on all those great couches or cozy nooks! I just know it smells great too! Beautiful from top to bottom. Thank-you for opening your home to all of us!

I'm really glad to hear the update on Darwin...especially glad he has a name and is safe. I hope he lives a long happy monkey life in the sanctuary.
