With the beach ball stomachs bobbing around everywhere these days, you'd think most Americans wouldn't need a reminder (much less a command) in their kitchens to shovel more food down the hatch.

Close to the sink and away from the toilet (potential airborne germs from flushing -- not that YOU would ever flush without shutting the lid, but you never know what people do behind closed doors!).

Actually, when you think of the age of the people who bought this stuff when it first became popular ... nah, their tastes have probably changed since then.

MCM isn't my cuppa, but that Eiffel walker looks kind of cute.

Amazing! None of these (not even the "groovy vintage blue" is the particular ghastly shade of 1950s blue that is tiled all over my bathroom. After this, I'll be done with blue bathrooms forever, thank you very much.

I would LOVE to have a window in the shower, whether anyone sees me or not. I'd finally have adequate light for shaving my legs! Plus, a window is great for letting out all that moisture before it causes mildew everywhere. My current apartment doesn't even have a vented bathroom fan.

Re: the changes -- all that white is a bit plain and stark for my liking, but probably the shower curtain or door will make a huge difference in the overall look.

Too much unsolicited advice! I don't need my walls talking at me like that ... that said, I do like "Play a kazoo."

I love that you got a piano into this space without making it look crowded.

Tall array of cannas. Cannas!

I used to sleep with my books all around me in my bed. Stories were my security blanket -- but I have to say, in physical form, they're a little less comfortable to sleep with than a blanket (not like knives, but very much like, say, large box graters), which must be why I discontinued the practice after a few years.

But I still like having them in the room with me. Not all of them, all the time, but the ones I'm reading now, the poetry books, the Shakespeare, and anything else I might want to read in the middle of the night during those horrible wakeful hours when one becomes hyper-aware of one's own mortality.

Not a fan. So much of the bedcover ends up sweeping the floor while you're using it, because while it might lie neatly on the bed during the day, it's next to impossible to sleep that neatly unless you're comatose.
