Completely agree with eyemandy. It really irks me to see things posted without links (this is a website, right) and I can't understand why it happens so frequently on AT.

Does anyone know where the sofa in the top photo is from? That's exactly what I'm looking for and even though it looks "basic", I can't find it!

The antiques are fun; remind me of Anthropologie...

lemook, I did exactly that to secure our current place. After several go rounds, my man & I were informed that we were in the "final 2" of possible tenants. Desperate to get the 1 apartment we had seen on the 1 weekend I flew in to look at places, I racked my brain for what could push to the top spot.

I had documented the evolution of my previous place so I sent the link to the online album. I had it professionally painted and picked every piece of new/old furniture for the place (I still love & have it all). I also made sure my landlord knew I would be moving my stuff in and the boy's stuff was going to people who needed it more than us.

I loved that place and I think it showed in the pics - seems like my current landlord agreed. :) She always comments how nice the place looks when she comes by, which is a nice full circle moment.

I have been looking for medium scale dresser to use as a nightstand - anyone see any good ones?

I saw these rugs at a great store/coffeeshop in Santa Cruz (CA). The rugs were exactly as represented on the site - colorful and good quality. I was really tempted to buy one, but needed to come home and think it through before pulling my wallet out!

AustinSarah, take a look at my profile for my email if you want to try to do a swap in San Francisco. I haven't tried this before, but have been curious for a long time! Maybe we'll be each other's first. hehe.

There is a whole store of these lights on Fillmore in SF. I don't remember the name of it, but I think one strand is about $20.

There is also a "global exchange" store on 24th that has them sometimes - they are strung outside of the shop permanently. :)

I'm now providing a power strip since so many of my friends bring multiple electronics with them (phone, laptop, camera, whoknowswhatelse). It has been very well received!

I just hide it under the bed when it's not in use.

I also have info on the password for our wireless internet.

Wow, I'm ready for my geekiest of guests! :)

Very similar manufacturer of new metal cabinets in SF:

I don't work for them - I just drool over the images they post on CL. They used to have a pic of the 4 over 4 large cabinet install in the eat in area of a kitchen - amazing!

(You know, for the home I still can't afford despite the alleged recession.)
