Awesome! Very masculine yet still super stylish. I would love to walk into a guy's place that looked like this! Never underestimate the power of a nice apartment when trying to impress a date.

It really sounds to me like the sheets aren't big enough for the depth of your mattress. I swear by Lands End sheets. They are the only ones I use. Excellent quality, and the fitted sheets have elastic all the way around. I have never, ever had a Lands End sheet pull off the mattress.

Under the coffee table in the living area... is that a dog bed? Floor cushion? Did you make it? I have been cooking up ideas for making a modern-looking bed for my lab. Could you give some details on this?

Love your space! Very fresh and relaxed looking!

What is the wall color in the dining room? So pretty!

Sheets for sure. What is it with guys and their nasty, thin sheets that won't even stay on the bed? And some of them don't even have a mattress pad. Yuck. Talk about uninviting!

Here is my suggestion. Send a letter to your landlord (via certified mail) detailing the improvements you'd like to make. Close with something like, "If we don't hear from you by (date), we will assume that you approve of the changes and will go ahead with the project." Then you've at least covered your bases but made it easy for your landlord if he truly doesn't care what you do.

I think you could be setting yourself up for a lot of trouble if you go ahead, and he doesn't approve down the road. One person's "improvements" can be another person's nightmare... and no one wants to be on the receiving end of a lawsuit.

Good grief, thank you for using "I." I wish it wasn't such a big deal that you have to preface it with an explanation. Why doesn't AT just switch? It's not as though people think that the entire group writes every post. Seriously. AT, take a vote from your readers. I think we'd all appreciate the switch to first person singular.

Where did the dream sign above the bed come from? I'm assuming it was some great flea market find, but maybe someone knows where to get one? It's exactly what I've been imagining for my bedroom!

Pottery Barn says this one is no longer available, but perhaps it still is in stores and just not online?

It's VERY similar!

My lab's food and water is raised at home. When we travel, I just bring along her bowls. I have noticed that she coughs a lot while eating at ground level, but she never does it when eating from the raised dishes. Just my two cents.

Thank goodness for breaking the "we" rule. I wish every writer would break it every single post!

Be sure not to ever keep your paper shredder set to "auto-on" if you have pets (or children). A neighbor's dog suffered a horrible death when he licked the shredder. Absolutely tragic.

I hate the new slideshow program too. It's awful to navigate and runs really slowly for me.

I keep one... just in case like everyone else. The power does go out from time to time here. Before you throw it away, ahem, recycle it, thumb through the coupon section. There are often some good coupons in there for things like pizza delivery, oil changes, dry cleaning, etc. I didn't discover this until a year ago and was pleasantly surprised.

Ah, New Belgium, how I miss thee. Undergrad in Fort Collins, CO got me hooked, but it's not to be found in Michigan. I hear they distribute in Chicago. Fat Tire is easy to find, but Sunshine Wheat eludes me. Anyone know of liquor stores in the Chicago area that carry Sunshine Wheat? I would definitely make the drive to the windy city if I knew I could get a couple cases.

Mine is only $126 per year for up to $15,000 coverage with a $250 deductible. I don't have a lot of valuables, so this is enough coverage for me. The peace of mind is worth every penny.

I wonder if it covers my cell phone. That is a GREAT idea to look into. Then I can stop paying the $5.99 a month for coverage through my carrier.
