I don't know, I had the Karim bottle and I hated it. I found it difficult to use and it leaked all over my counter. I also didn't think it was refillable. The appeal for me was the cucumber scented soap.

I'm also on the Mrs. Meyers bandwagon now.

Thanks

Laura,

Your apartment is what my apartment wants to be when it grows up. Very nice!

I did the x-country, ditch everything you own move last year too. It does make for a good clean start over break, but I don't think I'd like to do it again any time soon!

Congrats on an excellent first entry!

That's what I thought, faith... I just wanted to make sure before I tried it and ended up with what could potentially be a greasy fatty mess :)

elevenhounds, I want to say I've read something that says that green (a soft pale green I assume) is actually the best color for gauging your actual appearance. It somehow acts as a neutral.

I can't recall where that information came from. I could also be slamming two bits of information together.

Balls. My says its 1 1/2" Walnut Ebony. Maybe the cost comes from the float framing, which creates a slight shadow box effect?

Thanks jodi, I was just feeling a little stuck yesterday. Like I had gotten all this stuff done... now what? So I threw myself a very small pitty party then went out to get stuff to cover my ugly pillows. I'm all better now!

I think I do better when I have a specific plan for the weekend like "paint desk." I didn't have that this weekend beyond "buy rug" and so I felt a little lost. Now I know *cue GI Joe music*

I bought a rug, some curtians AND did my taxes. Both the rug and taxes came out much better than expected. By just doing those things, I feel like I rocked week 4 even if I never did scrub the inside of my fridge in week 2.

HA! Lisa. At least you're MAKING rug decisions!

I think the winner is going to be the West Elm Morocco Windows rug in light blue. My color scheme seems to be leaning baby blue and chocolate brown with shocks of orange. I'm going to suppliment the main rug with the smaller Peacock Feathers one from UO for the end of my bed to hide the stains from where the cats decided to knock over full cups of coffee on two different occasions. Its on super sale now so no harm, no foul if I hate it. It can become my porch rug.

The lovely and fabulous boyfriend-Scott came over last night and, while I attempted to get all my terrible paperwork in order for possibly the most complicated tax prep EVAR, proceeded to scrape all the paint off the screws on the cabinet hinges (I said he didn't have to, but he was on a roll) so I will be able to take them off to replace them this weekend and at some point, be able to actually CLOSE my cabinets. From looking at all the paint stalagtites, we came to the conclusion they did not so much paint my apartment as slather it.

I've maganged to clean the counter to the pass-through and clean the TV/Media cart and componants and add a power strip to that corner.

Lamps and rugs this weekend! It will be great! Possibly even curtians and pillows!?!?! Who knows!

I would put money it is Caesarstone Apple Martini?
