This does look handy! Unfortunately, I suspect this also is not a particularly affordable investment for an apartment-renter, based on the lack of price listed.

I also want to know what the difference is between these "man caves" and "rooms in homes." And wasn't this blog started by a man?

You can buy them at http://www.elsewares.com/commerce/Napkin-Catch-Placemat_MPD1083.html for $9 each, in every color.

That is an awesome transition!

Ooh it would be fun to put art on that wall in the living room.

What if you didn't paint the house yourself? How can you get an accurate reflection of what color paint a room is when you didn't start with paint chips?

This post sounds like a book report, and it's full of punctuation issues. I understand that comes up sometimes when people are posting multiple times a day, but this is to the point of distracting from the subject matter. Actually, now that I look at the other posts by Monika, they ALL read like this. I expect more from an internationally-known blog.

It's Daly City. Also, there's a huge Joann Fabrics in El Cerrito.

I love the BART entrance at SFO (This picture is from Eric of SF's photostream on Flickr):

I definitely agree that you should try giving them a little treat and leaving a note that says you're planning this party and it's a once-a-year thing and asking them to please excuse any excessive noise for this one night. If they have advance warning maybe they can plan something that will keep them out of the house until late.

If you're having a lot of parties though, they're not likely to be sympathetic. You can try asking your building manager if he thinks you're too loud, and attempt to get him on your side, which might help in dealing with the neighbors.

The police will just tell you to keep it down, but it kind of quashes the mood.
