I love my chandelier. It's gorgeous...a black string drum shade, silver and has a few baubles. Love it. What Do You Love About Your Bedroom? Flag this comment	3/26/11 2:40 AM
So cute...can't take it. For me, having a dog--more than any financial reason--is the biggest reason I would take on home ownership versus apartment life. Is that so wrong? Dogs at Home Apartment Therapy Roundup \| Apartment Therapy Chicago Flag this comment	3/17/10 1:16 PM
I love my neighborhood AND apartment. But, after 2 years in the same place, my secret wish is to have a dog. My landlord won't do it so I've only been half-heartedly looking because I don't hold much hope for finding all that I want. I saw a GREAT townhouse--cheap rent and pet-friendly place--BUT it was pretty much in the ghetto--edgy, if you like. Though I loved the space, the light, the amenities and pet-friendliness, I think it would be soul-crushing I think to wake up in that neighborhood. So--for me--neighborhood is key.

sheesh...I have just been looking online at renters insurance quotes (even with my car insurer) and am coming up with $400-500 per year. I live in a 2 bdrm, 1 bth duplex in Oakland CA. Seems high to me since a few commented on paying about $120... Apartment Therapy Los Angeles \| AT On... Renters Insurance What A Relief Flag this comment	3/10/09 4:56 PM

Thanks, everyone, for your insight...AT, the diagram cleared things up! I have since called West Elm and, yes, indeedy, the slats are arriving separately. This isn't really indicated anywhere in confirmation e-mails from West Elm but I guess this kind of thing comes with the territory of on-line purchases. caw261--I didn't purchase the slats separately. I guess once upon a time, West Elm did sell them as separate items, if you have the same bed. homebody--the dims on the West Elm site indicate a height of 15". Not sure if that is from the floor to the top of bed frame or the bottom of the bed frame (because I haven't unpacked it), but it seemed to me to be pretty good clearance for storage, which is another reason I went for this style bed frame.

AT-good question about the slats being shipped separately. The box (still unopened) has a "1 of 1" sticker on it, so I don't think that I will be getting a 2nd box. Is this normal? If it's normal--I'll give it a shot. But I may have to get a few 2x4s to reinforce the frame. However, having to do this will irritate me for something I bought brand new...and I'll do it begrudgingly. Apartment Therapy San Francisco \| Good Questions: West Elm Tall Wood Bed Frame?

Bepsf - I just bought a West Elm Tall bed frame and the pic on the side of the box just shows one center slat down the middle. Is this going to hold up?? I'm worried, but I read all the decent reviews of the bed and took the plunge... Thanks for any input...

Umm...where did you get that chandelier, BTW? Apartment Therapy San Francisco \| Northwest Finalist: David's Designer Digs Flag this comment	5/14/08 11:56 AM
I am completely inspired by your bathroom. I have an all-white bathroom and have been totally bored with everything I've seen so far...that red chandelier and the black/white/red color scheme is a knock-out.

I voted cool! I'm jealous of everyone's colored walls. How do renters get away with it? I live in a duplex next door to my landlord, so I can't exactly sneak a paint job... Apartment Therapy Los Angeles \| Southwest #27: Josh's Smile, Happy Time! Flag this comment	4/23/08 11:30 AM

Sorry you feel that way, elciudad! But, I'd rather chew glass than move to to LA. I did my time in the City in a 10-ft x 15-ft studio for a year before I went ape-skat. Moved to Oakland in '96 and except for a temporary gig in Las Vegas, have been in Oakland ever since. To me, Oakland is a perfect storm of diversity, places you can still drive and find parking, sunshine, accessibility to everything...a combo platter of urban flavor and suburban conveniences and a healthy dose of edgy-ness. Good luck to all who are brave enough to make the break! Apartment Therapy San Francisco \| AT on... Moving to Oakland Flag this comment	3/17/08 1:41 PM
