I use Zillow on my iphone whenever I get curious about house prices, or what's recently sold in my area. It's addicting! Tablet Apps for Finding a New Home |

I totally agree about the cowhide rugs - I never understood that one. Been There, Done That: Designers Weigh In On "Worst Trends" Elle Decor |

We're also in an SB building downtown, and we haven't had any problems with the developer. We don't, however, have a separate patio area and I'm COMPLETELY jealous--especially of those wonderful planter boxes! Great use of the space, it's very clean and organized yet personal and comfortable. Lovely! Christopher & Natalie's Touch of Hollywood Regency Loft House Tour |

I'm interested to hear it's located in the South Lake Union neighborhood in Seattle. That area has changed so much since I lived in Seattle, it's an amazing transformation--before I would never have envisioned a new West Elm there, but now with the Streetcar and Amazon and everything else, it seems like a perfect location.

How am I only the second person to comment?? These are hilarious! I guess living out of the country and not having a TV left me out of the loop. Thanks for sharing. Fun in Advertising: 7 of IKEA's Best TV Commercials |

I love the particle board + vintage teacup idea -- I have a few of my grandmothers' old sets, but was at a loss how to display them. This is fantastic! Ben & Aja's Boiler Room Loft House Tour |

I just noticed that they're selling white eiffel chairs today on the Foundary, $180 for a pair that they say usually sells for $420. You have to sign up to see them (I think) but here's the link: http://shop.thefoundary.com/product_31811.html. Budget Chair Choices for a Tulip Table? Good Questions |

Along the lines of toilet paper, my favorite housewarming gift (to give) was a plunger tied with a big bow. They loved it, showing it off to all the other guests, and genuinely thought it was hilarious. We gave them a bottle of wine too, just in case! 5 Unique Items to Give as Housewarming Gifts |

I saw a version of this at a Free People store recently, except they used neon colors instead of white and hung them from the ceiling. I prefer the white, but both look great! One Great Idea: Dip Dyed Baskets Martha Stewart |

When I lived in a village in the Dominican Republic my neighbor next door (a sweet older woman) would send her granddaughter over with a cup of coffee for me every morning, and I'd chat with them on their front steps some nights. It was lovely, and made me feel so much safer. :) Do You Know Your Neighbors? |

Love it! When I lived in Boston all my favorite pieces of furniture were sidewalk finds, too. Not so here in Los Angeles. Good luck! Zach & Sean's Bright in Boston |

Kristen - Lovely apartment! Good luck in the Peace Corps, too. I served in the Caribbean and absolutely loved finding creative ways to decorate/furnish my little house with found objects without spending any money. I'm sure you'll come up with something amazing! 125 Square Feet! Kristen's Minimalist Studio in Seattle House Call |
