Frustrating that the pool can't be seen in any of the photos.

The dish cloths I use for drying are called TOWELS. And this is, without a doubt, one of the stupidest posts I've ever read.


Why You Should Sew A Button On A Dishcloth

@teleutte: Get. Over. Yourself.

By your way of thinking, we would never have any trained artists, because their initial curiosity would be snuffed out in infancy
before they "know a thing about art or the industry."

You just keep on making your snooty art that none of us poor, uneducated buffoons could ever value, and we'll continue having FUN without you!!

P.S. I would also note that this person was not trying to SELL this painting, nor pass it off as something it is not. She hung it IN HER OWN HOME.

If you know the city well enough to identify which neighborhoods might be unsafe at ANY time of day or night, then I would say steer clear of those and spend some time outside at sunrise. (I know that could be tough, but you could always nap later in the day!) Most big cities never really "sleep," but I pretty much guarantee that you'll have a little more room to breathe at that time of day.

For some reason, denim used in anything other than clothing always seems somewhat out of place to me. I do like the Marjorie chair from Anthropologie, but it looks much different in some of the photos on their site. Here it looks almost grey, but in the shots they have of it styled in a room, it looks very, very blue.

Ummmmm, why choose a photo of a screaming and seemingly very uncomfortable baby as the promo shot for this contest? I fail to see any connection, and that poor little tyke looks seriously distressed. :(

Bad Apartment Therapy. You are doing such a disservice to Daniel and his amazingness by posting only these two photos. Pleeeeeeease, everyone, follow the "Read More" link and head over to Manhattan Nest to read Daniel's original post and view ALL of the photos (some floor-to-ceiling) that detail his work-in-progress. He is hilarious, and talented, and deserves far better treatment than this.

Mid-range? Are you freakin' kidding me?! They sell a cat litter box that is made of acrylic (ummm, hello? that's not such a "natural" material, now is it?) with a stainless steel insert (so yes, it's basically a plastic box with an oversized bedpan inside), for the equivalent of just over... get this... $1040.00!!!!!!!!!!!!

So not cool. This crap is for elitist fools who would never deign to read Apartment Therapy anyway, so please spare the rest of us in future posts, 'kay? Thanks!

I'm feeling equal parts love and hate for the light above the bed. The shape, the light it gives off, the resemblance to a fireworks display - all brilliant. BUT - that cord with the switch! Major fail. There's no blame to be laid - it's just a fact of life that if something isn't hard-wired or battery-operated, it's going to have a cord, but it's just so... blatant. It's kind of like watching a puppet show with the arms of the puppeteers visible - it loses some of its magic.

mjzwhite: That is a very rare flower called a Turquoise Ixia, or Ixia viridiflora. (Beautiful, isn't it?) You can read more about it here: http://www.strangewonderfulthings.com/140.htm

I'm sorry, but you need to do more research before posting. A quick look at the supplied link told me that the display is, in fact, NOT made with a shower curtain. Ivana, the woman in the photo, explains, "The postcard wall works because each card is the same size and fits easily into ready-made plastic display sleeves, which I’ve connected together."
