@patrick (the other one) Aw, I appreciate you! :) Parking Canopy Made of Recycled Plastic Bottles Colossal Flag this comment	5/21/12 11:24 PM
@blueintuit Is it really? Googling the woodgrains gets me nowhere. XD I suppose it's down to experience.... Before & After: Red Paint to Mahogany Dresser Imperfect Patina Flag this comment	5/19/12 3:10 AM
Nice job, but I don't think it's just my aversion to shabby chic that makes me side-eye the distressed drawer fronts when paired with the impeccable job on the exposed woodgrain.... I guess I'm rooting for her going through with re-veneering. Before & After: Red Paint to Mahogany Dresser Imperfect Patina Flag this comment	5/19/12 3:06 AM
@gruns Well, it's a bit misleading of them to call it the scavenger, when they're not pulling items from CL anymore. Just think of it as it's own entity, drawing entirely from the AT classifieds, mourn the old scavenger, and move on? (Frankly, I like it better that they aren't highlighting the good stuff and making it easier for the less ambitious/invested to find things on CL before me! :p ) Outdoor Items from Our Classifieds The MORNING Scavenger: 05.18.12 Flag this comment	5/19/12 2:59 AM
He's the loquacious/verbose one. There's only 1 patrick if you look on the "our team" page, so you can't miss him. He sometimes pops up in comments, I think under his old moniker. Parking Canopy Made of Recycled Plastic Bottles Colossal Flag this comment	5/19/12 2:38 AM
... you guys know that p(too) is an AT blogger now, don't you? Parking Canopy Made of Recycled Plastic Bottles Colossal Flag this comment	5/19/12 2:25 AM
I actually find grapefruits really filling... it also takes me quite a bit of time to eat them the way I do, so perhaps that contributes. @just_kazari Although I like to drink water (and tea), actually the last time I looked into the subject there was no scientific basis for drinking nearly that amount of water each day. This article is written in Dutch, but the abstract gets the idea across. OTOH, this summary actually recommends quite a lot of water, but has some interesting news re: caffeinated drinks as well as alcohol. Feeling Hungry? Grab an Orange! Flag this comment	5/19/12 2:23 AM

@steven austin Convincing breakdown. I kind of figured that was going to be the answer to the question "how green can shipping something from halfway around the world be?" After all, it's not like they're airmailing this to you. Review: The Keetsa Pillow Plus A Year in Bed Flag this comment	4/30/12 10:35 PM
@pi Why couldn't AT do their own photoshoot rather than (apparently?) regurgitating content from ruelala? They've done their own shoots of properties featured in other publications/blogs before....

... ok, the boconcept one is a lot more expensive, apparently, but I've seen others with a similar conversion mechanism around for like $500, I think. Multipurpose & Convertible Furniture Small Space Solutions Flag this comment	4/16/12 3:46 PM
@ProfKD I think the dwell convertible looks way worse as a dining table ಠ_ಠ I prefer the boconcept convertible (no idea about quality and ATers seem to have a poor opinion of the service). Multipurpose & Convertible Furniture Small Space Solutions Flag this comment	4/16/12 3:45 PM
@hhri Did they already edit it to "$150 per cover"? ... I wouldn't get excited at a $150 butterfly chair, myself, but.... Occasional Chairs of A Different Stripe Flag this comment	4/16/12 3:36 PM
@thornedale This particular blogger tends toward ruminations on X paint effect, rather than being particularly substantial. Grand Central Terminal's Celestial Ceiling Color Therapy Flag this comment	3/28/12 9:51 PM
@pi Ikea has a ladder for this purpose, so yes. I don't know if the ladder they have is fine, though, since only the frame is for leaning on: "The ladder can only rest on the top panel." Beautiful Bookshelves: IKEA Done Right This Old House Flag this comment	3/28/12 9:48 PM
I have only ever bought one pillow for myself (a queen-size tempurpedic something pillow) and have only had it about a year. We'll see how it wears. At my mom's house, I'm not sure any pillows have ever been thrown out, although over the past 12 years or so I think at least 2 buckwheat pillows have been bought.

I have a firm-ish mattress on a dwr min platform bed, so no. I haven't had a boxspring since I was about 11, I think. Er, I guess I don't intend to admit how long ago that way, though. XD @lolax Pillowtops seem like a ripoff to me because you can buy latex-or-whatever toppers that you just put on top of the mattress (like the egg-crate foam everyone gets when they got to college, only much classier >.>). I imagine they cost a fraction of what the mattresses cost, help preserve the life of the mattress (which you would still be able to flip) while still providing better/more customized sleep, and you can replace them as needed.
