I was just wondering about putting a lamp in my kitchen and this helped a lot. Looks great!

I just created stripes on my bathroom walls with contact paper, it looks like paint without all the hassle. I love contact paper!

Perfect timing! I'm painting my apartment back to how it was when I moved in and next week I'll get to paint a new one!

I love to use them under my cats food dishes, wet food is nasty and their table manners aren't much better!

Just before Halloween I was walking home from grabbing a cup of coffee and there it was, a 1952 RCA Victor cabinet TV. It's so beautiful I bought it on the spot. It works too!

@funstraw, a sunken tub in a sunken living room sounds AMAZING. I can totally see having a fire going listening to records while soaking in the middle of winter. Dreamy!

@Rachel C Brooklyn, that's exactly what I tell my mother when she comes over and sees I've painted the bathroom ceiling gold or my kitchen cabinets hot pink! It could be worse ma ;)


Is Decorating an Addiction?

@SherryBinNH I don't think its odd, especially for people on a site for design... I mean I look at my phone all day, it's my alarm in the morning and I set it to silent right before I go to sleep. Shouldn't it be pretty or at least make me slightly happy when I look at it?

I've had my eye on this one for a few weeks now http://www.etsy.com/listing/92903629/vintage-polaroid-camera-iphone-4-case but then I found http://www.etsy.com/listing/91710579/vintage-airmail-envelope-iphone-4-case and now I can't make up my mind!

@Rachel C Brooklyn, that's so sad! I make sure to leave at least twice the amount needed when I go out of town with some catnip and new toys for the kittlens and wine and snacks for my kitty watcher just to cover all my bases! I hope the kitty gets more attention when they're home.

I also have a cat who suffers from asthma so I make sure the vet has my credit card info before I go out of town just in case.

Mine is a super sad crappy apartment story. An apartment so sketchy that when my friend (who rented it before I moved in)first saw it I made a comment to the affect of it being avaliable because someone was killed in it. And they were. I took the bedroom and found her work badge and a closet splattered with blood in places the landlord couldn't be bothered to clean up. The killer (her boyfriend high on crack) had also left a pair of socks. The saddest part was her roasary beeds still hanging from the window. I'm not religious at all but the thought of someone throwing them out after what happened to her made me so sad I still have them. Ten years later.
