So my friend posted this a few weeks ago and I was obsessed. Apparently to buy one, it's over $70,000. The shipping is around $3-5,000 more. And it takes about 2 hours I think to inflate [what? how is that possible?].

My dream isn't crushed, I just need to find some investors. Yep.

I feel really... pathetic about this but this evening I was attempting to put up the product on my closet doors, and I totally screwed it up. Or I just can't seem to get all the bubbles out. I've never attempted to put anything wallpaper like up before.
Do I need to get some sort of tool that irons out the air bubbles?
The roll is wider than my actual doors [there are 4, folding doors for the closet] and so I attempted to cut it... well anyways it's just not working out.

I'm so bad at this I think I need a professional. A decorator? Someone who specializes in wallpaper in general?

I don't think I've ever had a tex-mex dish with olives. Ever. And yes it's not tex-mex.
But, instead of olives, toss in some jalapenos and this would be delicious.

I mean I hate to be a stickler but... come on. But really it looks good!

I really don't like high beds, and since I'm moving to a place where my bedroom is less than half the size of the one I had before- I know it's going to look odd but I'm afraid of going without a box spring. At the same time, I was inches away from back surgery, and will have chronic upper back pain for the rest of my life after an accident- so I'm fearful of going without a box spring.
I actually have no idea what to go for now- as so many people are into memory foam, and that to me just sounds like a sweaty night of sleep.

And a storage bed was what I wanted- but after looking at the options [even on here] I just really can't stand them. I'd rather have a high bed with an oversized comforter and a non cheesy bed skirt, and some regular ol' plastic storage underneath.

I am moving from a 3 story, 3 bedroom, 1800 sq ft condo in Houston, to a 700 sq ft barely 1 bdrm apartment in Chicago in 2-3 weeks.
I've been in this house for 7+ years, and I am VERY bad about throwing things away, I'm cluttered.

So I have been trying to figure out how to do a major downsize- and as long as the homeowner's association [those are always fun!] let's me, this is what I am going to have to do.

And so thank you for the idea and the information! I guess the best thing is to go ahead and get everything moved, and maybe come back a week or two later and have a big "estate" like sale.

These are all really helpful to me because I'm applying to schools/hoping to move to Chicago.

But I've also been looking at domu.com

TONS of spots, you can search by every neighborhood specifically, etc.

I haven't acutally looked at any in person [I'm in Houston] but.... it's been helpful to see how much I can expect to be paying monthly in various neighborhoods.

Here's my Chicago question: I feel like the majority of non-high rise apartments I've seen have decks. I mean, for a place that is quite cold in the winter, I was just surprised by the large amount of decks!

I want to know who made the rollin' print. It's so very derby friendly.

I really love the bingo [?] balls, but I was curious as to how they were displayed. They're in that brilliant blue tray looking thing, but I couldn't tell... what context it was in?
