I never took typing because I didn't have room for it in my HS schedule (too many science and music classes). I cannot type without looking at the keys and I make tons of mistakes even then. No one laughs at me or, frankly, even notices, and I supervise a team of nine at a Fortune 100 company. So.... Stop Looking At the Keyboard If You Want to Type Faster SXSW Interactive |

To echo the "register for only what you need" comment: think about your lifestyle. Do either of you love to cook? No? Chances are, all the gadgets and fancy cookware is going to go unused. But do you like to entertain? Maybe serving pieces, glassware, and the like make more sense. Moving to a new place together looking to buy a house? Gift cards to furniture and appliance stores.

Forgot to add that I used to have that stand in the second photo--the silver one with the red arms. I do not recommend it. The arms are very unstable and you may not be able to get enough distance between top & bottom bike if at least one of your bikes belongs to a tall person. Setting Up Home: Making Room for Bikes |

Our shepherd mutt likes our bed and camps out there during the day when we're not there to scold her. Forgive me for being gross for a second though pet owners will probably know what I mean, but the dried eye boogers, slobber, paw marks, and butt stains (yes, I went there) are unavoidable and so at least the place where she spends so much of her time can be machine washed!

An easel might work in the LR but this just seems in the way. I would no doubt trip or bang my knee in the middle of the night or early morning en route to coffee. Besides, even if you're cool with a tv in the bedroom, I don't think anyone wants it as the focal point. A Television In The Bedroom… On An Easel! World of Interiors |

Our major source of bedroom clutter relates to what to do with clothes that aren't done being worn. While it's fine to put jeans and sweaters back in the closest in between washings/cleanings (although we're not so good at doing that), we also wear a lot of wool base layers for bicycle commuting in colder weather. It doesn't seem right to put them away after wearing them but it doesn't make sense to wash them every time they get worn. 5 Steps to a Permanently Cleaner Bedroom |

We have five (!) bicycles in our Brooklyn apartment. We have a large-ish, open living & dining area, which makes it easier but, still, that's a lot of bikes. I think we manage to keep them out of the way and not the focal point of the space. Storing in Style: Bike Inspiration For Small Spaces |
