Superwhite all the way!

We bought 100 small appetizer plates (CB2), 50 forks (Target), almost 50 wine glasses (Target) and then rented champagne glasses. It worked out great, and we ended up keeping everything we bought to use for future entertaining.

As far as cleaning them, it was no big deal. We hired two helpers for the event (which was at our condo), and they did most of the cleanup.

I don't get it - HSN sells this - even the name is identical.

I love the Speak & Spell!

The book wasn't dull. Just this part. And I'm a big Ikea fan. I just spent 4 hours and $1200 there this weekend, last night I couldn't stop dreaming about "flipfold"-ing my laundry to put in my new PAX walk-in closet.

Although I will say that he brought it home in the end when you find out the apartment has something like 39 rooms and she's only living in 3.

This was one of the most annoying parts of the book for me - that, and detailing product information for computers and cell phones.

This takes advance planning for movie product placement to a whole new level...

This one really inspires me!

I LOVE the layered rugs - that's definitely an idea I want to steal.

That wingback chair sent me immediately to CL - although I found nothing even remotely as wonderful.

And I love the gallery wall.

Our home is more minimal (and my husband LOVE empty counter and table surfaces), but I love your talent for accessorizing.

I grew up in a terrazzo slab house in Florida and LOVED it. But don't run (holding a glass) in socks on a freshly polished floor. And never apply a sealer - it yellows. Diamond polishing lasts nearly forever.

A real terrazzo floor is pretty much impossible to install in existing homes (and prohibitively expensive) because it's poured and polished in place.

But terrazzo tiles (or silimar-looking speckled quartz tiles) are available for about the price of any quartz. We're going to do terrazzo floors (tile) in our bathrooms.

We're staying with friends in San Francisco for a few days on our next vacation, and they've made it pretty clear that their favorite guests have left them a HUGE bottle of Patron as a gift. :) So guess what we'll be leaving them?

This has been a great post, because we're good guests, but we're not THAT good (except for the Patron part).

I am so jealous of that amorphic wood/root coffee table. I saved a picture of that room and went wild googling - and found nothing comparable. Plus, the prices were staggering for pieces that were nowhere near as gorgeous.

Jealousy. I has it.
