Everyone is getting all uptight about the "disposable" thing. The way I read it, was that you can use them till their trashed and not feel bad about throwing them out since they were so cheap. Yes, it's great to be environmentally conscience, but you also have to be heath conscience as well. Do you really want a bacteria ridden toilet brush funking up your bathroom forever? You can only sanitize the thing so many times!

I have that exact dish scrubber and every now and then I throw it into the dishwasher. There is going to come a time where it's discolored and the bristles start falling out. Then I will (try) to recycle it or throw it away. It was a few dollars for 2 of them for cripesake! What do you want me to do with them? Have them bronzed for posterity?

I have a large set of oak drawers that I think was previously used in a machine shop. It has about 100 drawers in it and stands about 4' x 8'. I found it in a antique junk shop and bought it off the owner (who I believe was swigging a bottle of gin and juice at the time of the sale) for a mere $200!

Great post! I'm in love with the Nouveau movement and Mucha.

I'm so excited that my set of 6 hand-me-down windsor dining room chairs are classic and fashionable!

The chairs I have were formally used for clients to sit in at a nail salon. They are high backed and very comfortable. You can add cushions for extra comfort.

It needs some sort of patterned element that incorporates both the red & blue together. Perhaps a curtain like ponjeng suggested or a piece of artwork.
