I have one in my bathroom. I kind of over-thought it in the beginning - I didn't know if it would be weird? But I totally love it. I'm on board with all of these looks.

Love the parasols.
And lucky you not having to worry about the weather wrecking them! They'd be a mess in most yards.

Dan Haugen, that's brilliant. Sign me up.


Tips For Digitizing Personal Library? Good Questions

hmm. I like the "no legs" part, but also like to have options - like moving the table for a kitchen dance party, or sliding it out to accommodate more diners, or using a pretty vintage tablecloth.
I'm glad it works for you though! Seems like it'd be a hard fix if it didn't.


Love Letter to a Built-In Kitchen Table

I had this exact problem, and solved it by ditching the existing boxes. Everything fit into these nice, plain, white boxes (from Ikea, for paper storage), which I was able to label using cut-outs from the old boxes. http://doggieeyes.blogspot.com/2011/06/board.html


Neat, Attractive, Exposed Board Game Storage? Good Questions

I haven't used craft plaster before - how long does it take to set? Is this a conceivable one-afternoon project?

1668 must be a typo, right? So...1968 (not really worth noting)? 1868 (it doesn't look that old, but maybe)?

Either way, I like it.

I like all your things, and your storage solutions. (And using that tiny room for a bedroom!)

I feel like I'd want to re-arrange things, and switch room functions all the time - very luxurious (my house with very designated rooms doesn't allow for that kind of flexibility).

Is there a reason none of the couches are really facing each other? Or is that just the way it comes across in photos?

Solopocono -
I haven't been in any trinities that have had elevators put in. Sounds interesting!
As far as finding a trinity in Philly, your best bet is either craigslist (with "trinity" in the search box, and your maximum price listed.)
Some neighborhoods to search in that aren't especially student-y are those others have listed - Queen Village, Washington Square, Nothern Liberties, Society Hill, Bella Vista. For $1500 you should be able to find a good one bedroom at least, but I have no experience with the elevator part, that might be a whole different game.

I LOVE this house. I must have seen it on a different (their?) blog, when it was in progress. All the design choices are JUST RIGHT.

Hmm, yeah. I feel like there would be an uproar if a non-lived in house won. Maybe should have waited and submitted next year?

Aside from that, it's a cool place. I agree with some other commenters though, the furniture set up is a little wonky, like a model apartment. I get the feeling that once it's lived in for a few months, some pieces might migrate around the apartment.
