The Craigslist thing sounds like fear mongering to me. Is there proof it's happened once?

I think Rachel's Grad School Getaway is not a good example: there's a weird interaction between the metal headboard and the dead space in front of the window behind it. Having the bed pointed into the corner like in Marnie's Memphis Apartment works better, although perhaps only with an unrealistically narrow bed.

This was a bad post the first time around.

Um, this is only a mock-up by an artist: it isn't actually functional.

And it's hard to imagine why the cards would have 4x11 bits?

These are art, not houseware. You don't get it.

My security system: living in Canada.

Never mind oxygen accounts, plants can remove a significant amount of toxins from the air, which is more important in the bedroom than any other room of the house because you spend so much time breathing there!

That being said, you should only break Feng Shui rules if you understand them.

Wow, you Americans live in an incredible amount of fear! If you asked this question to any person on the street in Canada the response would be "a bat? in case I want to play baseball in my bedroom?"

I've missed and hit the knife edge doing this before: the result is much less worse than you'd imagine. It was a small, thin wound barely deep enough to bleed.

I've also used a cleaver to do the same thing: no chance of missing and you can do a few cloves at once.

How long does it take heavy-duty rubber bands to wear out?
