The IKEA Fantastik Napkin Holder does the same job for $1.99 and looks quite elegant and maclike. The mStand is, as you correctly noted, in a whole different category. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50107051 BookArc Stand Converts Your MacBook Into a Desktop \| Apartment Therapy Unplggd Flag this comment	7/16/10 12:12 PM
I dig it. The Tin Man's House Tour \| Apartment Therapy Unplggd Flag this comment	7/15/10 3:45 PM
It truly is the one of the best bargains on the planet. Cheap, minimal, elegant and built like a tank. I bought the long on one first as a dining table and again for a desk. They sit about 4 feet apart in my studio apartment. Ikea's Melltorp Dining Table Is One of the Best Office Desks \| Apartment Therapy Unplggd Flag this comment	6/30/10 8:08 PM

I replaced my $800 Humanscale Freedom chair with one of these shortly after Christmas when the back just broke and haven't looked back since. No base, just a 75cm ball that I sit on for upwards of ten hours a day with no discomfort, fatigue or hunching. I'm not saying Ergocentric is biased because he/she has a very obvious axe to grind but in my case there is absolutely no doubt that my posture and core musculature has improved. Maybe I'm a unique case or maybe the 6 months isn't enough time for the dreaded hunching effect to take place. One thing I have noticed is that I am much more likely to get up and walk around every half hour or so and continuously make minor adjustments in position.

When I saw this I thought it was self-irrigating, but it's just a sophisticated drench & drain. There's a better way. Google self irrigated planters. Simple Garden by Fertile Earth Small Space Container Gardening for Beginners \| Apartment Therapy Boston Flag this comment	5/10/10 1:05 PM
The whole room is awesome. I'm working on a wall hanging credenza/litter box/cat bed that looks amazingly like the one you have hanging on your wall but now I just feel bad that I didn't use plywood. I clicked on Aster's profile and almost every comment she's ever made is negative and even her nice comment's usually have a little dig in them someplace.

There was a problem posting my vote earlier today. I clicked on the thumbs up and got a "voting is closed for this entry" message. I love this setup, especially the loft. Small Cool 2010: Pong's Restraint Tiny Division #37 \| Apartment Therapy DC Flag this comment	4/23/10 11:51 AM
I have two cats, 11 & 1 year old, who both use the ladder to a Tromso loft bed whenever they feel like it. I actually started putting their food bowl on top of the bookshelf next to it to ensure they get exercise and keep it out of reach of the dog. Love your space, especially the loft and the beams. PS I have a full blown vegetable garden in my windowsill and the way I protect the human stuff from the cats is to make sure there's always plenty of catnip and wheatgrass in a separate area for them to snack on. It's surprising how well it works. Small Cool 2010: Anna's Out In The Open Teeny Tiny Division #20 \| Apartment Therapy San Francisco Flag this comment	4/21/10 3:44 PM
"Why would anyone put lighting under the base cabinets in the kitchen?" Because they're clean? And the only way it's not useful is if you never use the kitchen. Small Cool 2010: Sarah's Reclaimed Materials Small Division # 23 \| Apartment Therapy Los Angeles Flag this comment	4/20/10 10:20 PM
There's nothing I don't like about this. Sven Nykvist would love this space. Small Cool 2010: Madelene's Swedish Light International Division # 17 \| Apartment Therapy Boston Flag this comment	4/19/10 6:40 PM
You had me with the first pic even before I recognized the lofts. I'm not wild about the bathroom and the dining room kitchen needs more artwork or something, but the space in those first two shots is my favorite in this contest so far. Patrick summed it up perfectly. Don't change a thing. Small Cool 2010: Larissa's Cotton Mill Loft Small Division #19 \| Apartment Therapy DC Flag this comment	4/19/10 6:33 PM
Love the red dustpan, but leaving out the Loder series by IKEA was a giant mistake in my opinion, particularly since the broom/dustpan combo is less than $10. I've been using them since they came out and they work great and are attractive and non-obtrusive enough that I normally just leave them in the hallway next to the coat tree. There's no reason to spend big bucks on utilitarian objects when IKEA and Muji are both manufacturing quality design for so much less. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/30181476 http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/60175582 The Most Beautiful Cleaning Supplies Tools \| Apartment Therapy Boston Flag this comment	4/19/10 2:26 PM
280 sf! I'm comfortable in 370 with a loft bed, but I can't imagine losing 100. You made it look effortless using familiar pieces. The Klippan looks great and I wonder how people divided rooms before the Expedit. I'm being conservative with the thumbs up but I gave this one before realizing how tiny it was. I wish I could give it two. Small Cool 2010: Amanda's Simple Sweet Studio Teeny Tiny Division #15 \| Apartment Therapy New York Flag this comment	4/18/10 4:21 PM

Love these. Stylish, but not in that gimmicky way that most designy computer speakers are. In fact, I'd rank them right up there with Orb Audio and classic Bang & Olufsen. @secretagent Not sure why, but most computer speakers made after 2002 are USB. Probably has to do with increased placement options. ICIC System of Computer Speakers \| Apartment Therapy Unplggd Flag this comment	4/13/10 6:10 PM
