I also have the Frajen towels from IKEA and I love them... super absorbant http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80159208/ Not crazy about the pattern, but love using them.
I've also had good luck finding nice textured, thin, towels at places like Nordstrom rack, Marshalls and tuesday Morning.

Love it! The LV sofa and the black/white art piece are awesome! Not to mention the DIY credenza! You are an inspiration! and i'm not even gonna lie, I love your idea of painting the edges of the doors a crazy color, I will steal (borrow?) that idea! and I too agree that the thriftstore/craigslist hunt is much more thrilling than buying it new. Check out my Black friday lamps from Goodwill, not as great as your finds.. but working on it! http://wp.me/p1sapf-dH

You are a lifesaver!!!, I have a TON of baseboards to paint in our new house (www.hilldalehouse.wordpress.org) and it is quite daunting. And I hate that painters tape rips... i still find bits of it from previous owners' paint jobs...
eeek, i'm almost excited about painting now!

Sorry, I have to disagree with Everyone! Paint it! It's just another boring, brown trunk otherwise. If you want to make it a statement piece, I would paint it a very glossy white on top, and do orange legs.. or a bright green. Or vice/versa, color on top, neutral on the legs. Maybe some bold black/white stripes...

Disturbing! Maybe only appropriate for a haunted house... or really bad joke to play on a sibling ....
