Looks like a good way to incorporate the look of cowhide without having to use the real thing, too. Smaller pieces are easier to pass off as 'real' without looking fakey like most artificial cowhide rugs etc. tend to.

Interesting. Since I was around seven or eight I have had an absolute abhorrence of lip smacking and loud chewing. Twenty-some years later and I still can be put IMMEDIATELY into a foul, sometimes downright angry, mood on hearing someone noisily chewing and popping gum. Thoughts of ripping the offending chewing gum out of the person's mouth or asking them what the heck is wrong with them that they have to make those noises. Nice to know I'm not just randomly pissed off by people lacking in manners....but, seriously, why DO people feel the need to make such noises in the first place?

What a fun place! I would love the meet Peaches based on her taste in decor alone.

What a great way to incorporate the art and frame into a beautiful seamless piece. This will be in the back of my mind when I go thrifting for wall art.

Currently using a rather beat up metal lunch box. I'd like to turn it into some sort of storage and get something that fits my water bottle, rather than having to lug it along separately.

I count myself lucky to live a two minute walk from the once a week farmer's market in my neighborhood. Fresh fruit, veggies, honey, and other goodies :)

Definitely a good article for me right now. Almost a month ago (on his birthday, no less) I came home to him and the bulk of his things gone. I've been staying at my mom's while making weekly cleaning trips. The place has been stripped out of the last of his things, including the horrible bed, and is now finally ready for me to finish re-furnishing for move-in. Thankfully, it's cheap enough for me to easily afford and actually live better than I did before the breakup. Last week, for the first time, I felt like it was MY place when I went in to check out the repairs the landlord had taken care of while there was a lack of furniture :) The place is looking great!

As long as a person can afford it, keeping the apartment can actually be a good thing. The process of making the place purely yours can be very empowering. The ability to only do things to please yourself and no one else is wonderful.
