I hate to tease but you've convinced me to cover the entire house on a home tour. It should be up within the week. Stay tuned!

Ashland, Wisconsin! All the way up on Lake Superior.

I know there are 13 of them, I'm dying to get to Ashland, Oregon one of these days. It sounds a bit more enlightened than mine.

Warning - one thing glass tile is not is impact resistant.

Our 1 year old bathroom tells the tale. In a home with two adults (only) cracks quickly form. We've had to replace four tiles already.

Order extras!

Apartment Therapy Chicago | Welcome to Julie and Sarah!

Advantage of growing up without too much: you always have more than you started with - and you know it.

I still appreciate the luxury of being able to load up at Target on pretty, silly things. Heck, I still appreciate quality toilet paper.

A few months ago I read about how necessity/luxury perception has shifted radically in less than 20 years. (one example was A/C)

Then consider the lattes, take out, more restaurants, gyms & yoga, massages, maybe a cleaning service. All of those things (including AC) were unthinkable when we were kids.

I can enjoy spending - even splurging on things I enjoy. I also love Depression-era frugalities that leave my BF incredulous.

Moderation and appreciation....

Friends have done this with other Rococo pieces and it looks great. Black or a pop of coral or tomato, turquoise, etc. could look amazing too.

Simple is good. The Barefoot Contessa recipe goes faster than anything I've made.

A couple of secret ingredients to try:
worcestshire - a few shakes
T or so of the juice from diced jalapenos

Yum.

Great thread:

Cat & bird chirps, agreed
Dog's crazily human sighs
Wind rustling leaves, esp in the first days of fall
Thunderstorms
Kid chatter as they ride their bikes, etc., past
Clack of my bf opening a diet coke
Heat kicking in come winter

My all-time favorite sound when growing up in a small town: trains

idea: If you aren't the greatest photographer, check out stock photo sites (gettyimages.com, veer.com, masterfile.com to name a few) or buy an image from the Library of Congress for cheap.

Hey Pxlchk1 - they do make hand soap, bar soap and lotion, that's just as fabulously scented as the household stuff:

Sorry for the shameless pitch, they're a Mpls co and a friend works there so I know a little too much....

Hi guys, Julie here with some details.

The fabric on the chair is the Eames small dot pattern, available from Maharam.

David can't give specific cost paramters -- it depends on the project. But he's glad to make rough estimates from photos. Just email him at the address above or
remnantsuph@msn.com.

btw - happify - i'm a huge fan of your designs. Love my calendar.
