I admit, I can cheat a bit. This is my bike put away for the weekend, with bag, helmet, etc.

I like the idea of the wall racks, but I'd walk into the damn things in the middle of the night. I have seen someone build a thin rectangular box for their two bikes - it runs length wise down their one wall, with the couch in front. It looks like a stylish table placed behind the couch, with a few knickknacks (and the cat) lounging on it. Never would have guessed there were two bikes inside. It was winter storage, and they took the front wheels off so the handlebars could turn to fit sideways, then just placed the wheels inside.

This is so much more refreshing to see than the annoying bright pink, teal, and purple in the back-to-school adverts. Seems like those are the only colours you can get from big box stores for residence stuff.

Oh, she let me paint long before that. :) It was the dark grey she was hesitant about. 'Don' you want a bright blue, like the last time?'

Mind you, I wonder now if it's because she knew she'd have to cover it when I moved out.

This would stop me for all of two seconds. My macbook has an ethernet port.

Thank you for mentioning neighbours and allergies. I think beekeeping is a wonderful hobby and something that needs to be done to keep up bee populations, but only if you have the space for it. My mother is deathly allergic to bees, and manages to get stung on a regular occurrence. I don't know how she does it, but we've been through eleven epi-pens. So while both of us support the tending to the bee population, she would have to definitely tell any neighbour next door that they couldn't have the bees there.

Which sucks and she would feel bad, but it's unfortunately not anything she can help.

Ahaha In all caps too, I don't even know how I missed that. It's odd that the Delivery tab for that item IS filled out for international deliveries.

I love that grey jersey bedding. Looks like I'll be off to shop at that store.

I hate this post. I didn't even make it past the cut before starting to tear up. I haven't lost my cat yet, but I've had him for seven years, and he's been to Europe and back with me. I've already told him he's not allowed to go.

But I know when it happens, I will be an absolute wreck, and I will want to keep his ashes. I do like the portrait idea, and perhaps when I have a bit more saved up, I will see if I can find someone to paint him. He's such an adventurous little bugger that sometimes I forget that he will go before me.

I hope your mum will soon find comfort in Dakota's things, and smile at the goofy memories pets bring.

Hmm. I use Delicious Library 2 for my books and dvds, but I don't know if it does the rest of the stuff in the house. I shall need to investigate, as I've been meaning to do this for insurance purposes.

@Horror Vacui - probably came here looking at something shiny, like the smallest coolest contest. ;)

I have found though that the comments, sadly on the contests entries too, are getting into a lot of the 'ugh, I don't like /hate that' territory, and people are forgetting that these are actual homes they're commenting on. That's actually one of the main reasons I talked myself out of entering this year.

@LindenTree, agreed! And I've never even thought of not going to a mate's house because of how it was decorated. Now, if it was unclean, that's another matter...
