I have the wood alarm dock. I keep my iPod Touch in it during the day and my iPhone at night. I listen to books and music on the iPod before I fall asleep. I'm actually glad that it doesn't have a built-in dock connector because the docking mechanism is undergoing change. There's a good chance that the next iPhone will have a smaller dock, making all the cables and chargers completely obsolete.

p.s. I like the wood alarm docks better. The plastic ones aren't as appealing.

Might be a good idea to avoid buying docking accessories for the iPhone right now because rumor has it that the next iPhone will have a smaller dock connector.

I love barbecued lamb.

I don't know where I was when this tour was first posted, but I love it. This is exactly my taste/style. I love using textiles in various ways, although their collection is much larger than mine. Nevertheless, I would give this an A+: one of the best Home Tours ever.

The Lucie Mini Vanity is designed for a three-year old. Literally.

Yes. Yes. Yes. Case in point: my own LR curtains are too short. They were purchased as a standby; several years later they're still standing by AND they are still too short. I never, ever, feel comfortable looking at them. They are still there because I want to reupholster my sofa and chairs and repaint and buying new curtains would be a waste of money. sigh.

If you are planting a tree in the verge find out about the root systems to determine if they cause havoc to sidewalks or sewer systems. some trees (pears come to mind) have rather fragile branches which will fall on unsuspecting vehicles. Some trees drip sap which is also harmful to cars.

We placed a large painting right next to another very large painting in our bedroom. Prior to that there had been lots of negative space in the room and the large painting seemed happy all alone on that wall. However, a recent purchase of a large diptych meant that something had to give. So now we have two very large paintings on the wall adjacent to the bed, with smaller paintings on other walls in the room. I hesitated because I though it would be too much, but now I think, "too much of a good thing is wonderful".

The first photo is of an Italian interior. Although certain Mediterranean features can be found in the New World due to the Spanish influence, there is nothing uniquely SW in the photo.The carpets are either Orientals or Aubussons, the art is typically Italian. Moreover, ain't no rhinos in the SW: completely agree with Holler.
