absolutely! my nikki mclure calendar just arrived in the mail yesterday... i love pretty calendars with small spaces to write in my plant watering schedule (35 plants... a lot to keep track of), social dates on weekends (since i don't look at my electronic calendar on the weekends). ours hangs in the kitchen. i especially love picking calendars with pages that can be later framed. we just framed three charlie harper illustrations from a 2010 calendar. they look great in a baby room!

Workout DVDs have always worked great for me. Yoga, pilates - I've been sticking with gaiam's series of all sorts. Little equipment required & I buy a new CD every once in a while to keep it interesting. But I agree with others - invest in rain gear instead of an indoor machine. I love walking my dogs (I'm also a Seattleite) as long as I have my rain coat & layers on.

I love #1! Stunning. Love the pottery collection. Style wise several of these remind me of our living room (first photos on the right here) http://papercuthearts.wordpress.com/2011/11/08/our-home-featured-on-etsys-get-the-look/ & another image here
We do have a narrow glass hutch, but instead of china, I display some special items that are not food related... my grandmother's glass hen storing sewing supplies, a collection of birthday or holiday cards from friends/family, paper flowers that served as decoration in our community wedding celebration... We do have a mid century credenza too - we store table linens here (which we sue once a year) & table mats (we use all the time). We used to store our bicycles in the dining room but have since reshuffled everything around.

How simple & gorgeous! I'm a vintage map collector, & it just happens that I also cut them into heart shapes, to create custom "home sweet home" anatomy-inspired cutouts. A number of completed works are on my Pinterest board here: http://pinterest.com/ania/my-portfolio/ http://pinterest.com/ania But I do love this simple project & the intention behind it!

i'm addicted to Pinterest too! http://pinterest.com/ania & have separate boards dedicated to quilting, paper crafts, needle crafts, party decor & food ideas, & a huuuuge craft DIY board.... each board includes at least a couple completed projects of mine. I recently started a "on my to do" pin board however to keep track of my favorite projects to get going. otherwise i'd drown in all my beloved pins... (i do wish it was easier to delete pins though - without having to go through the "edit" page).

I love dark floors. We have dark brown laminates & they look awesome. With two dogs (black & brown/white) our floors always no matter what color would show hair so we don't struggle with that. Now - that LAMP! It's amazing! Where can I get an affordable one like this??? Can an Ikea designer reading AT get on it please?

What a lovely globe collection! I have a weakness for vintage cartography as well... & repurposing it into paper cut art. In addition to old maps, I also collect fortune cookie messages, vintage buttons & pen nibs {buttons, pen nibs and fortune cookie messages etc} but i seem to develop a new vintage object obsession every month.... looking forward to a month of little collections!

Yes! I drove by the other day & saw the "coming soon sign" & immediately pulled out my latest catalog to start making a must-check-out in person list. can't wait!

I second & third that gingko leaf wallpaper! Beautiful!

the enormous screen printing machines are so impressive! love their designs....
