The wire chairs caught my eye--they'd be perfect for an uncovered outdoor space. I wonder whether they are comfy. IKEA PS 2012: A Look at What's to Come from the Swedish Home Retailer |

Oh, this was my first alarm clock! I probably got it in 1990 or so. I don't use it anymore (I have one with a dimmer display), but it's definitely still buried in a closet somewhere and I bet it still works. Product Nostalgia: An Ode to the (Discontinued!) Sony Dream Machine |

I love this in theory, but whenever I make anything I want to eat it RIGHT NOW. I'll continue to be the kind of person who only fantasizes about having unbaked dough waiting in her freezer. Freezer-Friendly Scones: Freeze Unbaked Dough, Bake When Needed!Meals from the Freezer |

Oh, I had a crazy paint mishap with BRIGHT ORANGE paint, where I was shaking a full gallon of paint that turned out not to be fully closed. Paint everywhere! It was actually pretty much ok until we realized that our dropcloth wasn't 100% blocking the paint from the carpet underneath. :( The Projectpocalypse: How To Clean Up a DIY Disaster |

I don't know, my parents just got one of those mega-chairs (apparently it was sold as a "chair and a half") and I LOVED it when I visited for christmas. Actually, one of my favorite things about it was that it was a great, snuggly seat for two. Wide Load: Is Bigger Furniture Better? New York Times |

Oh, I need help with this. I have a cieling fan with lights plus these under-cabinet flourescents over my stove and sink. I love having the under-cabinet light but hate the flourescents. What Light Sources Do You Have In Your Kitchen? |

Love this. I'm that killer combo of busy and lazy, so usually fresh flowers just lay around dead for days and end up bumming me out. I do love a bowl of fruit, though, and something like a non-plastic soap dispenser would bring me joy on a daily basis (while also not dying and becoming gross).

My mother used to wallpaper an interior door (like the door to the basement or something) and then just tape the cards to the paper. If you tape only the back, you can still open the card to read the message. Roundup: Holiday Card Display |

I have a good chunk of leaf raking ahead of me (we have a small yard with just one tree, but it is ENORMOUS and dropped pretty much all of its leaves while I was out of town last weekend), but I'm also trying to make some headway on a couple of projects I'm in the middle of. 10 Things To Do Other Than Shop On Black Friday |

@tbigs: I was about to say the same thing about white sinks! I have been in my new place, with my first white sink, for a year and I could not hate it more. The pale blue sink is cute, but I feel like it would have a similar problem. Color Everywhere: Even at the Kitchen Sink |

My absolute worst offender is crappy ice cream--specifically, the kind where you can tell that some kind of gum has been used as a thickener. So gross. Gloppy Cherry Pie to Heavy Bagels: 10 Crimes Against Food CHOW |

I definitely want to do this. I have a ping pong table in my dining room (didn't need that dining room more than I wanted my father-in-law's old ping pong table!) and there's a big empty wall next to it. How to Make Jen's DIY Oversized Scrabble Tile Art |
