Maybe this is just the last few nights experimental theatre talking, but I dig a chair that tries to create an experience, rather than just being visually engaging and functional. Who am I kidding, I've been looking for a giant egg in my living room for months. (although how surreal fantastic would more than one wom in a room be?.... say half a dozen?)

I think it's neato. (cept far less attractive pre-1st wash).

ridiculous

collaborative, home-grown, "never-finished" installation art that grows out of the space like overflow from an open portal, showcasing the depth and evolving with your adventures.

or one big ass piece of really amazing art.

and I agree with blandwagon- it should be iconic and personal, whatever you decide.

(but the never-finished installation art could be something your guests could participate in, and would give you the freedom to change as you change.... i know it's crazy. but it'd be awesome!)

omg how did I not know about this place?! it looks amazing. Must. Go. Soon.

IME, live with roommates. I thought living alone would be fantastic, so I moved into a beautiful studio in Fairfax area, close enough to walk to the movies, tjs, etc. It was great for awhile. Especially for my dating life. But after 4 months it got really lonely. I stayed for 2 yrs because it was such a great apartment, but overall, not the best for my day-to-day state of mind. And living alone does not equal peace and quiet, my neighbors were crazy.

If you do choose to live alone, live in an area where it's easier for your friends to find parking. I had people over all the time when I lived in Koreatown.

If you want the privacy aspect of living alone, but prefer roommates (like me) try for a place where the bedrooms are at opposite ends. It's been working like a dream.

Maybe my favorite entry so far. Amazing use of color. I love how you've been able to pair more saturated colors like the red with softer tones. So many times a room feels too soft or loud because it's so chroma-uniform(?) chroma-static(?). Your home is very inviting and very energetic. I love it.

Just wondering--Is it really greener to use E-books considering the energy used to read the book? How little would you have to read for it to be a better solution. I understand books taking up space, using trees, etc. But a printed book has a finite environmental cost (simply the initial production), is portable, and can be passed on to friends (or libraries or prisons) when you are through. Though admittedly, the publishing industry could pursue more sustainable choices along the route of production; it's a brilliant solution for the tons of paper wasted through the editing process (why tablets have taken on in tv production etc.)

but even though I tire decorating around my library demands, it's gotta be print books for me, too.

Confused- see the message behind the whole David and Goliath story is that if you do what's right you'll succeed even if you're up against a bigger opponent... so when posting that image next to AT's official position on NOT revealing the name of the store means???

See I'm sure that the comment was removed because she was being harassed and was tired of it. As much as it sucks, I definitely get it.

But AT stands nothing to lose. It's protected speech. Well rather- the only thing I can imagine they have to lose is advertising dollars.

On another note: AT choosing to not name the store rather than inform consumers tells me that this blog is more concerned with the needs and wants of the manu-distributors rather than the target audience, consumers, and our RIGHTS and needs.

So while I've really enjoyed reading this blog for a very long time now- I can't imagine how I'm going to enjoy reading much longer as this no longer seems like a place for discussion about design, but more elaborate advertising (If the manu-distributors say is held above the consumers, what else could you call it? THEY set the rules for discussion now, not us.)
