I'm laughing at how many people are saying something like: " I'm not into wall quotes, but the one I like says..."! I too was/am in that camp. I am getting a poster with a quote from The Wire's Omar Little on it and I'm super excited about it!

I just spent a few days in Paris with my sister. We stayed at Hotel Banville. It's beautiful. Not located in a tourist area. Three metro stops are within walking distance. The hotel quotes their prices around 300 euro, bt we booked for half that on a travel website. All the rooms are designed differently. We will definitely be back there! Check it out if you're headed to the city of lights!

So wasteful. Most bottles from bottled water end up in the trash, in developed countries wher the tap water is perfectly acceptable to drink.

- accent walls (I' m guilty of making one in my parents home a long time ago. Would never do it again.
- signs/words as wall art. How many times do I want to read the same thing in my own home.

Why share the link when all you get is the tanning salon side of this business? Total let down, especially since I'm beautifully brown all year round, and have no need for a tanning salon.... I am glad to know this place exists though. I'll be heading over soon!

I'm in the midst of remodeling a small rowhouse, and don't want to shell out 2400 for a regular washer and dryer. I have a dedicated laundry space with the normal laundry hook up in it. Can these machines be hooked up like regular size machines are? If so, it sure would save me some cash for a while.

I'm in love with the first room. For me, the 'banana yellow drapes' get my attention and then I look around the room and notice how fabulous everything it is. It's very sophisticate without looking like your mother's living room. I also like buying furniture that I want to have for a long time in neutral colors. This technique works beautifully.

I usually remove my shoes when I go into someone else's home- unless their house seems dirty... I would like for people to remove their shoes when they come into my home, but I don't risk being a bad host/ making guests uncomfortable and asking them to do so. For a party however, where people get dressed up I want them to leave their shoes on. I love fashion. I can clean my floors. But if someone's raggedy stilettos are damaging my hardwood, I might have to produce my butterfly knife... I'm just sayin'

I like registries as long as the couple keeps it tasteful. I was put off when I opened an invite for an upcoming wedding and three store registry cards fell out of the envelope before I could read the invitation. The couple registered for so much stuff (that I know they wouldn't buy for themselves or anyone else) it was obnoxious. Meanwhile, the wedding is on a Friday at 3 pm at a budget place... Just keep it classy whatever you do.

My parents have had the set in #6 for over thirty years. The chair seats come off easily for changing up the covering. Love it.

Gasp! I can start buying cloves of garlic again instead of the kind that's already crushed in a jar with olive oil. This is monumental!

Congratulations to the handsome couple! I think small weddings are the best. I just got an invite to a wedding where I know the couple is trouble affording it, and not one, not two, but three registry notices fell out before I could open the actual invite.. You can't buy class.

As a kid I loved pink. Then for some reason in my teens and early twenties, I tried to fight it. I'm back in love with it, and will probably paint my kitchen pink very soon. I like a soft, but noticeable pink (No. 1,3-5). The pink in #2 makes me think the decorator was too shy or nervous about a more noticeable shade of pink.
