On a related note, does anyone have a good link (or will AT write up a piece) on how to switch out ceiling fixtures for a pendant light?

I'm 23, my dad lives far away, and would like to know how to do this myself for when I move into my new apartment.

Anyone have a clue as to where the bed in the seventh "Matchbook" picture is from?

This is hilarious. We have the same curtains, same couch, same wall colors, and end tables. I thought my roommate entered without my knowing!

I had a similarly styled stained glass window on the front door to my apartment, until about a few months ago when the landlord decided to do a few renovations. My roommate and I were so sad to see our little windows go, so we ended up snagging them from each of the four units.

We have them displayed in our living room now against a pale seafoam blue. It's not a bathroom, but it looks great.

Ditto quiltmaster (but less harsh) and LolaDanger.

It's cute, play up the camp and frame it in the kitchen. Plus, I'm assuming he loves you enough to let you take most of the decorating reigns, so let him have his Hulk.

So...I've had three family members commit suicide in their homes. While unfortunate, these men turned to a place of comfort to end their lives, and they were each very loving (albeit troubled) men. I highly doubt that their spirits would do anything to hurt the people who currently live in their old homes.

Tara, it's like you knew I was coming! I'm planning my first cross-country move (by myself!) next summer to Boston and these posts are extremely helpful.

I'm just glad there was a comment dispute concerning whether or not the candles look like anal beads -- which they do. And for the sake of a fantastic conversation piece, I would try to save them too. Or just buy a real pair and replace the candles with them.

Apartment Therapy, this is why I love you. I know I still have a year until my big move, but this has been such a help.

Now to visit again and figure out a roommate situation. Can we start a thread on that? :)

I'll be moving to Boston next fall, and I was definitely glad to come across this post. However, a lot of people have told me to check out Allston/Brighton and forget Jamaica Plain completely...as we know that's strange for me to hear considering all of the fantastic house tours hailing from that neighborhood.

Any tips for a 23 year-old grad student moving from southern California?

I'm so glad most of these comments are from people who share a strong dislike for the city.

Plants. If you can line the perimeter of your patio with dense foliage, you can reduce the sound of noise by 5-10 decibels (sounds 50% quieter). Growing up my parents lined our fences with Italian Cypresses and they worked perfectly. They also hold up twinkle lights really well.
