@Deborah Day I'm curious how you fold your t-shirts before stacking them upright. Like a few other readers have mentioned it seems like this system would leave you with some pretty wrinkled shirts. Also, what happens when you wear a few of the t-shirts and they aren't so densely packed into the drawer? One Minute Tip: How To Organize T-Shirts Apartment Therapy Videos |

Ok, from an adult's standpoint this design is pretty cool. Just show me one child who'd prefer this over a traditional rocking horse. Hesus: A Reimagined Rocking Horse |

@CEOUX My guess is that Target doesn't know exactly either. In the meantime, I enjoy seeing what new designers they're bringing in! So far, I'm not crazy about any of the "shops at target" products. I'll keep looking though. This Curiosity Shoppe looks like it might be up my alley. Target Adds The Curiosity Shoppe to List of Small Biz Collaborations Design News 05.09.12 |

I've been wanting to get roller shades for my bedroom! The venetian blinds I have now don't do much to block the light. I was a little worried that the shades might look tacky, but seeing the pictures here I think they look nice. I'm reassured to know that roller shades are AT approved.

Very cool. Looks like a minimum amount of effort. I'm curious, how much do the pre-made kind usually cost? Make Your Own Concrete Planters from Kitchen Recyclables Rad Megan |

I agree about making this a regular feature! The Etsy options are considerably more affordable, and look great too. Well done. The Etsy Challenge: Anthropologie Looks for Less |

Oooh... I've had pink on my mind. I want to paint my lack coffee table a glossy, sort of "Barbie" pink. I would have thought a pink/purple color combo would be too much, but these examples are pretty. Pink & Purple: Unexpectedly Chic |

@williamsweyr I'm with you moooost of the way. I agree that most people have a lot of things they aren't using and could get rid of. However, sometimes even the things we use on a regular basis (for me- art supplies, bicycle, shoes, winter coats) take up a lot of space too. It can be hard to cut back, especially where hobbies are involved. Size Doesn't Matter: The Benefits of Living Small Cool |

Living in a small studio for three years has definitely tought me some good habits. Even now that I have a larger apartment, I watch closely what I bring into my home and regularly donate what I'm not using. Size Doesn't Matter: The Benefits of Living Small Cool |

It's a little funny to me that anyone would feel compelled to defend a generation for their perceived lack of gardening skills. Or maybe more specifically, that anyone would ever ask them to. Where Are the Gen X & Y Gardeners? The Gardenist |

I doubt that housework is going to have a big impact on anyone's health. Although, I will say that I used to be skeptical that walking could have a significant effect on weight loss. Then I began walking about a mile and a half home from work a few days a week. Much to my surprise, the weight loss was noticeable! I suppose if walking has that effect, household chores could too.

I'm with you Bibliovore. With limited means, sometimes a person has got to prioritize. There's certain things I'm willing to spend more money on, but the clock in my bathroom isn't one of them. Maybe one day when paying the bills isn't an issue, I can afford a sweet Braun clock too! The Most Important Gadget for Your Bathroom |

Wait... people can get to work on time without a clock in their bathroom? This is news to me! I'm not being sarcastic. I have no sense of time when I'm blow drying my hair, putting on make up etc. A clock is pretty crucial for me. As for the other bathroom gadgets? I do just fine without them.

I disagree with people who think sharing WIFI with your neighbors is stealing from cable companies. I don't have sympathy for companies like Time Warner. They charge a lot of money and have a monopoly over my building's service. Furthermore, people who live together can share internet service... so why not neighbors? Because there's a wall dividing their dwellings? Seems pretty arbitrary to me. Neighborly Behavior: Do You Share or Borrow Wi-Fi? |

I share mine. My neighbor gives me $10 a month. It's not much, but it helps... and she doesn't need to pay for overpriced service! Neighborly Behavior: Do You Share or Borrow Wi-Fi? |

The "before" picture was so darned cute, it was hard to imagine it needed to be changed. That's what I thought before I saw the "after" pictures. Well done! Before & After: An Artist's Home Studio |

I read the NY Times Feature. I've lived alone for eight years, but I didn't relate to the article. People in the article talked about how they like not having to clean up after themselves, or how they can leave junk out without annoying anyone. Whereas, one of the reasons I enjoy living by myself is that I can keep my apartment neat! The Joys and Drawbacks of Living Solo |
