I have died and gone to house heaven.
LOVE IT!

Thanks for sharing :)

I had something similar in a rental unit once and I set it up as an alter. It was a perfect look for the niche and helped me express my style in a way that was meaningful to both myself and my guests. Considering your decor style, it may work perfectly.

Good luck!

Every Monday is my "phone and internet free" day. I change my voicemail to say that I'll be away from my phone and sit back and enjoy the calm. There is nothing that can't be put off for one whole day, and I often feel like it's an extended weekend even while at work.
It's made Monday a little less manic :)

I prey New York puts in new bike lanes. A very dear friend Jasmine Huron was killed last summer when the driver of a parked car opened their door without caution. She hit the door and was consequently hit by a bus.

Bike lanes save lives. A helmet is no match for a vehicle.

My suggestion, get rid of it if you don't want/have a use for it. You'll have less guilt by telling them that although thoughtful, you just didn't have the space to hold onto it so you donated it to someone who was in need. The guilt is usually more of a burden than the truth. If they want to get you things for your "future" home, suggest gift cards to a department store so that you can upgrade items that you use everyday. That way you can buy something that is top quality once and it will last you for years to come.

Orrrrr... break out your duster and keep that box clean ;)

Bring. It. On.

I'm always game for a good challenge, especially and eco challenge!

Oh, and I did read that you can use coconut and other animal friendly oils. :)

Doesn't it use power to light up the indicator lights on the power strip? Isn't that counterproductive?

Brilliant design though :)

I recently hosted a birthday party at my home and asked around for items that I didn't already own. I live alone, so I asked one friend to bring flatware, one to bring their plates, one a punch bowl... I managed to have 12 guests and the only garbage at the end of the night was the cake box... and that was recycled.
Yay for eco-loving friends.

I wake up to brewed coffee that was set on a timer the night before, I eat some breakfast and then sit down to write. After that I read a morning meditation, center myself for the day and get ready for work, etc. Since starting this routine in the morning I've had to set my alarm 30 minutes ahead of when I would normally get up and the pay off has been tenfold. Good luck!
