Something decorative that is not a neon sign, neither consists of nor incorporates a beer logo, and doesn't have frayed edges from having been torn from a book or magazine.


What Do You Need to Live Like a Grown-Up?

We had the same "problem" years ago. We met Sabra Richards at an arts festival and loved her work so much that we asked her to choose some fiber/glass/wood wall sculptures for us that were perfect. She works mostly in glass these days, but her work is still stunning: http://web.mac.com/sabrarichards/SiteSabra_Richards_Glass_%26_Steel.Mac/Installation_Photos.html


Ideas for Giant Wall in New Loft? Good Questions

I'm glad to see that I'm not (too) weird, after all! My husband is about to accept a job that will have him shlepping to the city & occasionally staying over for 3 months.

When he told me, first I was thrilled that he got the job, then I was sad because I'm going to miss him terribly (he works from home & is always around when I need him). Then I was happy because I could knit more and watch movies that he doesn't like, then I got sad because he's the one that cleans the bathrooms. Then I was happy again because I remembered that whenever he's gone, I turn into a cleaning maniac and will scrub the bathrooms myself- possibly twice a day- before and after work, and will not go to sleep each night until the laundry's done and the dishes are clean and put away.

Yes, I'll miss him, but I'll probably be more organized and productive. Which, come to think of it, is a double-edged sword. Maybe he'll like the clean house so much that he'll go away more... Hmmm. I'll have to think about this.

We have Garnet Hill sheets that we bought 10 years ago- and are still comfy and pretty.

Saw a listing for "XXX-Bedroom Set-XXX". Might it mean what it sounds like? Yuck.
