This is funny. My husband and I encountered this our first year of marriage, I went waterfall, he was underhand. We quickly resolved this with a tear-off, giving the roll a few tears with both methods to see which one "worked" best. To my surprise, the underhand tore cleaner while my waterfall method left a long tail more times than not, so now we both go underhand :)

One bag of trash every day?! Either, you're not separating your compost or recycling, or you have way too much trash. Maybe I've been in San Francisco too long (very possible), but this seems very wasteful as general advice.

This is one of the most amazing house tours ever! That Phillip Jeffries silhouette wallpaper is to die for.

My only complaint, (and it's probably only b/c my hubby is a photographer) is that the photography is horrendous.

Even with the bad photography, this tour is still a standout for me.

We have been sleeping on the Keetsa Tea Leaf Classic for the last two years, this one is a step up from the Pillow Plus, but still a mid-range mattress at $1200 for a queen.

We are absolutely in love, it has a memory foam topper that's built in to the mattress, but it is still fairly firm. I like softer mattresses, but they tend to give me back pains, so this fits in as the 'softest firm mattress' we could find.

So far, it's kept it's shape surprisingly well. We are really happy with the quality as well as the 'eco-ness', we didn't notice hardly any off gassing. We recommend Keetsa to everyone, I especially love how simple their choices are, we had spent hours in mattress stores, and after the 20th bed, it's hard to tell which one you like. Also, their staff is really helpful without being pushy or sales-y, so I felt really good about the purchase afterwards.

I don't even fully understand these instructions, but I'm going to try anyway. This post came at the PERFECT time since I'm looking for a couple tall drum shades and have found them to be hard to find and expensive.

Such a fun update!

I can remember when the 'before' look was super stylish.

Looking forward to seeing more! I love that a professional designer is taking on this project.

This is an amazing place! I'm shocked to hear how much of this is DIY, it looks really expensive and professionally done.

Where's the Twitter feed??

This is perfect timing! Getting married soon and we'll definitely be looking for a new mattress.

Is the twitter page not up yet, I cannot find it. Can you post the full twitter url?

Nevermind, found those pics, not sure why the slideshow skips them, but you can see the kitchen, bath, etc when you click on the thumbnails view.
