It's a long shot, because their merchandise changes, but I just bought quilted shams in the same color at Home Goods. I just changed my linens to gray and mustard colors.

I saw something on here, sorry don't remember the thread, but it was simple wooden pallets. I think they were painted and a mattress laid on top. Very inexpensive, and very cool looking. We have freecycle.com here and I see the pallets being given away all the time. Another suggestion, get your cover a size smaller than the bed, ie: I have a queen size on a platform so I bought a full size comforter, doesn't hang and puddle, so not so messy looking.

expensive but I found one link http://www.findartinfo.com/search/listprices.asp?keyword=90744&name=Vilhelm-Lundstr%F8m

That Lubi is the most uncomfortable thing to sleep on. My daughter has one and it's in "my" room. I hate it....anyway, not sure of your style but this is what I did..scoured used furniture stores, bought 2 identical foot-boards for twin beds, footboards because they are smaller and have a finished look on both sides, put slats and a twin size mattess, and lots of throw pillows...it is the most comfortable daybed I've ever had. I did splurge and buy a daybed cover from West Elm, linen and it gives it more of a sofa look.

Mine is on top of my refrig. I thought it would be odd that high up but it's fine, no problem at all

I have been putting bay leaves on my shelves for years. I have never had a problem with weevils or bugs of any kind. My grandmother-in-law taught me this over 30 years ago. As an extra measure for flour, I tape a bay leaf to the inside of the cover of my flour jar. Works like a charm.

Years ago, at least 15 yrs, my mom was sick with cancer. We needed to bring her bedroom downstairs. She loved wallpaper, and after much thought, we (the other kids and I) decided to wallpaper her new bedroom as a gift. Knowing she would be bedridden soon we decided to put paper on the ceiling also. She absolutely loved it, it turned out beautifully. She spent the rest of her days in that lovely bedroom and loved the papered ceiling. Thanks for bringing back a great memory, her smile when she looked up!

Body odors: My dear boyfriend, then just a friend, came out of my bathroom and apologized for the smell he left behind. I was more embarrassed then him. There went a big big ugly box of matches in plain sight in my bathroom.
Pets: It was summer, another friend came to visit with shorts on and my darn dog would not stop licking his legs. I had to end up putting my dog on his leash, he, the dog, flunked obedience school and my yelling was worse than the licking, at least in my mind. HeHe

Beautiful. I am so glad to see someone else that shops Target and is not afraid to admit it. I can't afford anything else except used furniture stores. I have the same cabinets in my kitchen, again a rental. I bought some of the wall decals you see all over the place and put them on my kitchen cabinets Just sporadically, mine are branches with birds and it really made a difference. Love, love your place!

Re: artwork in the bathroom. I collect vintage prints of dogs and I have them hanging in my bathroom. I just hung them with no afterthought on the humidity. I just checked, all is fine in the artwork.
I agree on the other baths. The only one I could relate to being an apartment dweller is #5 from This Old House. Small yet light and airy and the shelving in #6. Great use of space for storage when none is available on the floor.
