a) They have a wine fridge below the counter that will store bottles on their sides, and b) this only makes a difference if you are planning on cellaring bottles for long periods of time. Most wine is not made to be aged, and it will not suffer for being stored upright for a while.

I have a firm mattress - they tend to last a little longer, and I can always add a memory foam topping if necessary.

I've been working on my bathroom a lot lately, and ended up taking the etagere out, because the bathroom is so tiny that the etagere makes it feel cluttered. I just installed some undersink storage that is helping, but it's still my least favorite room in the apartment. I think I'm going to end up doing all white linens to try and give the room a more open and airy feel (of course the bathroom doesn't have a window).

ChrisGal - I was just about to comment on that. That first display makes the archivist in me shudder. Take photos to the machine in Walgreens/CVS/wherever and have copies made if you want to do that - don't ruin your original photos.

That is too cute. I want one.

@Comicgeek - Those students got to put this down on their resume, and for all you know they were graded on it - this isn't all that different from having students do any other kind of research. As long as the professor isn't profiting from their work, or claiming it as her own (which she isn't), then I don't really see what the problem is.

A black and white photo essay in the shape of upside-down U around the TV would look pretty cool. Black frames with white mats and B&W photos always look beautiful (or color photos for that matter), and having a narrative arrangement around the TV would be interesting. 5 8x10 photos with the extra frame space around them wouldn't be too much work or expense.

For those of us who don't live near an Ikea (the closest one to me is more than 500 miles away in Tempe), is an equivalent shelving system available in some place like Lowes/Home Depot/etc? I'm a librarian (tons of books) and I would love love love to get them out of boxes and up off of the floor.
