I went to home depot, they have a cheaper version of the container stores "elfa" system. I just bought a bunch of shoe sized wire racks, with the angle brackets (so they'd be at that great angle) and I installed them all the way up my tiny closet--home depot will also custom cut the metal or wood shelves to the size you need for a small charge (.$50 or something) now I have enough room for aprox. 50 pairs of shoes. . they go all the way up to my ceiling, my friends think it looks way more expensive than it really was . . .I think I spent somewhere around $60. . .you can do it!!

oh, I feel your pain. . .no use in getting anything nice until the dog is past the naughty years.. then a solid wearing out is always in order.

my couch has also fallen victim. . RIP couch. ..I'd start checking craigslist for a new couch.

after I got a puppy, I was pretty bummed when she chewed on my mid-century one-of-a-kind furniture, I was bummed when she chewed apart one of my couch cushions--at some point, if you own an animal, you just have to get over yourself, your apartment, and stop comparing your living space with the photos you see in magazines and blogs. . they're taken during photo shoots, with great photographers, set designers etc. . .Get the pet, be happy. being happy is more important than looking perfectly pretty. trust me.

I like the we, it's very inclusive. . I imagine a wee (pun intended) little team of AT people all discovering things and doing things together ALL the time. . but I do agree with the others: when you start diving into personal stories. . you gotta drop the "we spend all our time at our boyfriends house". . .who? you and all of AT? you and your dog? you and your multiple personalities?

not impressed. . easy to match black/white/red. . .not to mention they only have ONE piece of retro furniture, where I think most of us out there have more vintage pieces than new modern pieces. . not to mention they have a whole inventory of products to choose from and no budget. . . not impressed. . that wasn't a how to at all. .

you might think this is too impersonal, but everyone loves it and can use it: a home depot gift card. . .everyone, especially a new couple, goes to home depot (or similar store) it's a clutch gift. . .a bit odd, but I've always gotten thanks for not getting the couple more "stuff"

maybe too practical and boring, but, there's something to be said for useful! Apt dwellers and home owners alike make the voyage to home depot to spruce up their living space!

unless your house is being photographed for "better homes and gardens", then you should be able to do whatever you want with your home. It's your private space. I actually think it's weird when you don't see pictures and tid-bits, it makes me feel like I'm on a set, or in a museum rather than in someone's house. I think pictures are a great way to add "warmth and comfort" to a home.

my dog "the shredder" will shred anything. . .she's still quite a puppy, but I do one of a few things. Re-stuff the "beast"/toy and put the squeeker back in, that way, they have another challenge, true, there's already a hole, but they get so much pleasure from finding the "heart of the beast" aka squeeker. . .

after we've done that a few times, I sweep everything up, and about once a week I vacuum. . .sure, there seems to almost always be pieces of fluff floating around, but on a day to day basis, it doesn't bother us. . .it's just part of owning a hound. . .only when company comes. . and then everything gets sweeped and vacuumed, and defured anyway. . .good luck

I have a whippet/lab mix and I highly recommend. Originally I wanted a larger, more lab-ish dog, but now that I have the smaller framed whippet, I realize it's exactly what I need in my 650sq ft apartment. She's crazy hyper outside, but calms right down inside, and loves to cuddle and sleep on her bed/the couch. . .the perfect jogging companion, and the perfect indoor pet. . .
