Woah! These pillows are Hell expensive! The Skull Pillow is awesome but there is no way I can justify tossing these babies on my cheapo couch (Karlstad...).

My boyfriend is Japanese and totally gets the flush. He's always so embarressed. He also gets drunk very quickly (one fruity drink and he's smashed) so he doesn't drink very much or very often. I'll suggest the Pepcid AC trick. The cancer risk is concerning, however. I'm going to show him this article.

Lovely home! I especially like the living room. What is in the vivarium? It's so tastefully incorporated into the living room decor.

I'm confused about the orange peel too? Why do you HAVE to have the orange peel if you only wanted paint? Anyway, I think this project is totally awesome and if I were you I'd be crying and pulling my hair out in the new bathtub. Good job so far!

What lovely and homey space! I admire and envy your patience to find what you want on Craigslist - but I can see it can be worth it!

The common areas of my building are clean but it's clear that they have not been well maintained over the years. The walls of the hall are dirty and the carpets are ancient. Luckily my apartment is great, the other tenants are quiet and clean, and maintenance...well they're 'ok' - not great but not that bad. I took a risk and it worked for me.

This looks like a really cool and useful product but I can't seem to find it anywhere on the web.

I think it's just the owner of that horrific decor hiding in shame.

A coach house in Lakeview? Unless they're just house poor, they can't be that broke.

Eeek! I can picture myself going nuts picking up all the post-its off the floor. They never stick very long...

I love this house! It's beautiful, minimal, and functional. It must be so simple to clean! This is seriously one of my favorite house tours. It's so airy and homey. Love it!

What a sweet and sad post. I am so sorry for Donna's loss.

Pets truly become a part of our home and families. I just recently became the proud owner of a stray kitten. Although he is slowly destroying my once lovely apartment I would never think of giving him away. Now, it's his home too.

I actually think this is a great post. The solution to the problem was very simple and so doable.

Those panther sheets totally rock and I don't know why. Perhaps because they signal another cat lover? KITTY!
