I was just browsing Three Potato Four and saw this - it might be just what you're looking for. Not sure if you want color or unfinished, or what your budget is, but it's definitely large and wooden: http://threepotatofourshop.com/item/Brimal-Brazil-Large-Wooden-Airplane/2188/c25

I have a glass that fits the cup holder. Unfortunately, it's an Eeyore cup leftover from years ago, and I still haven't found the right size cup to fit. The soap dish holds whatever remnant of hotel soap my husband is trying to use up, until we have guests over, at which point it gets thrown away because it just looks nasty.

My husband and I went to see this just this past weekend. I loved it, such a great opportunity to see his work. In addition to the architecture, the drawings themselves are art. I especially loved his night renderings, just beautiful!

Definitely windows open. I absolutely need the fresh air, AC does not agree with me.

The only downsides: my husband gets irritated by the bird in the morning (although I love it), the bedroom windows don't have a good overhang so we have to close them when it rains or else water gets in, and a few years ago we had smokers living below us who would alternate between smoking in the front and the back of the building, so we'd have to run back and forth to close the windows whenever we smelled the smoke.

I recently purchased curtains from Kara Weaves, and they are so nice. There's something about soft, light sheers that is so relaxing.

Definitely organize/read every day. Magazines and catalogs go in a pile next to the sofa, junk mail goes in the recycling, and bills to be paid get posted on a bulletin board at my desk. That's even bills that get paid automatically - I keep them posted until the payment goes through, just so I can keep track of them and make sure they are paid.

I have been waiting all winter for them to come out with their summer stuff, ever since my husband agreed to getting a cute bistro set out on our balcony. Can't wait to jump on this the minute it gets into stores!

The website is going away too? Time to start saving all my favorite galleries and pictures!

I have an address book for most of my important addresses and contact info. When I'm sending cards or thank you notes, I don't want to have to turn on my computer. But I also have an Access database with all the contact info for other friends, extended family, etc. that's left over from wedding planning and is a good resource.

Wow, I thought I was the only Divine Design fan, I had no idea it was so popular! I feel like it's one of the only shows that is about interior design in the real world, and not design/decorating just for the sake of a TV show.
