CarmenCru's Profile

Definitely agree with comicbookheroine's choice of International entry - it was really so much better than the rest (IMHO) and such a great showcase of colour celebration.

- Always be covered even with a sheet during summer. And I always have to tuck the covers under my feet.
- Have some kind of dim lighting. Nothing too bright, just something to break the dark.
- A pillow thick enough and quite soft to keep my head & neck comfortable and large enough to be able to hug it partially.
- Little to no noise. I sleep light so any noise may wake me up and sometimes it's not easy to fall back to sleep again.

Just a comment on the "use a console as a desk too" idea:
some times consoles are higher than the average table/desk, which means that, unless you use a height-adjustable chair, it may become uncomfortable to work on a console for an extended period of time.

The before/after effect is of course impressive because of the state of the room before. Overall a simple but nice renovation,

On a more generic note: what I see very often in before/after photos is the before room rather dark in very unflattering yellowish light and the after in bright, white, very flattering light - sometimes it's so intense that I suspect the after photo was processed...

I actually like better the new look! It sets itself apart from all the white background blogs and it did not make a difference readability/legibility-wise for me.

And when it comes to ads, I use Firefox and have the lovely Adblock Plus add-in installed, so no ad banners for me at all!!!

I love macarons in general and Ladurée macarons in very particular!

And what's more, you can buy small "coffrets cadeaux" that come in very chic-cute pistache-coloured paper bags and very elegant sturdy boxes! I still have the dark blue box from 9 years ago where I keep my bijoux in. :-)

Like rouquinne I had 1 and 4 vice-versa...

1C, 2B, 3A, 4D

I am a 2 with elements of 1 and 4.

Hey!!! My brother is an oenologist and Director of Production for one of these wines!!! :-) Indeed a great choice!
Snobs will be snobs - a good wine is a good wine, no matter its colour!

@jacksonlalonde. I was in Frankfurt, Germany last week and I went to this shop called Xenos that has cheap home decor stuff; they had these plastic, tile-like, adhesive squares in several patterns (mostly black and white or white and navy blue) that are meant to be used as labels over ugly tiles!

This is the site http://www.xenos.de/ and this is their on-line catalogue http://xenos.de.orcbladerfolder.nl/Main_admin.php?hashcode=bfd33d01740307ad98faff310de9d3b3 but unfortunately I do not see the tile-labels anywhere. Maybe they are not the only ones carrying this stuff. Or maybe you or a friend can go to Germany and do some home shopping!
