Liana's Profile

I love the San Francisco shelf.

I'm a pro at shoving things into my bedroom and closing the door just as guests arrive.

Then one day, a visitor opened my bedroom door! And said something about how messy it was! That was really her own damn problem, not mine (she does that type of thing all the time) but wow.

Oh the other hand... I have this phobia about people lurking behind shower curtains. Sometimes I can't help but glance behind the curtain. I know I shouldn't pry but what if OMG PSYCHO?. So, at a formal dinner I discovered the hostess had stashed all her piles of paperwork in the shower! I thought it was charmingly human, since I'd have done the same thing, but I'm glad she never knew I saw it.

I live across the street from Universal, and I love everything about their decor, so seeing it in a house was even better. I like it so much that I don't mind seeing it featured here twice. ;-)

CB2 used to have a very nice tripod lamp, similar to the Santa & Cole one but of course much less expensive. But I had the same experience as Deborah - it would never have worked in my small living room.

Some forensic Googling found me the name of the photographer (Andy Day) and a site to order his prints.

Too bad the copyright watermark was cropped off the photo at some point in its blogosphere life.

One of my friends replaced the dingy, stained drop ceiling in his dorm room with a proper drywall ceiling, to give himself more head room. Recessed lights and everything. But that pushed the building manager just a bit too far and he had to remove it.

On the other hand, we did install a manhole cover in the floor of a lounge without problems. And a friend in another dorm built a loft structure that created an entire second floor in his space. (Bed-sized lofts were normal, but that one was amazing. Too claustrophobic for me, though.)

I like many house tours on AT, but this one might come closest to my own dreams.

I really want to know what bicycle is used in all the photos of this rug. I'm in love with it. (The bike, that is, not the rug.) Anyone know?

Wow. I've been intending to paint my bedroom for a year and a half and I still haven't done it... maybe this will inspire me.

I've often heard the rumor that the police officer in that painting is Officer Obie of Alice's Restaurant fame. But wikipedia tells me that it's a different, less famous Rockwell painting.
