Eclecticity's Profile

While I don't agree with all of your design choices (I find the chandelier a little jarring in context), I'm voting for the scene in which I would most like to live. Yours is the only one. Such a depth of comfort - I sigh just looking at it. And the early 20th c. vibe, when the writer's imagination took us to worlds we had never seen. Well done!

I brought a half-used roll of paper towels to my new home in 1989, and found them again when I moved out ten years later. That HUGE home held me, a large messy husband, three kids, two dogs and lots of teen visitors. I have never missed the paper. Cloth towels and rags are so much more convenient--and environmentally kind of course.

Buying attractive kitchen towels is just another way to bring clean design into my life. The better ones, made of tightly woven cotton, are not very expensive, and investing in 6-12 costs much less than a few months of paper towels. When a kitchen towel becomes too stained, I draw a big red X on it, and leave it in the rag box. Between those, old socks and cut-up t-shirts, I have more rags than I could ever use.

BTW--Rags make great gifts for someone moving into their first apartment!
