Eh, I've thrown out clothes after losing weight and ended up regretting it. Unfortunately many people regain at least some of the weight they've lost, which may mean they need some of those old clothing sizes again. It happened to me and I ended up having to spend several thousand dollars replacing my wardrobe (twice! :( ). I know it's good to not gain weight back, and not to 'hoard' clothes -- but to me it's even better to be realistic about how my body could change over time, and frugal with my clothing purchases.

Since I have storage space, now I keep the wrong-size clothes in a few bins -- only important or special pieces, in case I need them later. Digging into the bins become either a case for increased exercise, or a case for celebration -- depending on what sizes I've got in there!!

The bench is stunning, but is anyone else concerned about the weight-bearing capabilities of a converted coffee table? I know coffee tables are built to support cups and books, but perhaps not an adult's body weight. I've been wondering about this issue, as I have considered converting one of my coffee tables into a bench.

Should I be worried about whether the table can handle my weight? I just have a vision of the whole thing disintegrating as I am sitting on it..... Sadness and tears!

Nope these are from IKEA! I recognized them at once because I used to have these curtains hanging in my bedroom. I bought them 3 years ago, but I don't see them on their website anymore - I'd give you mine but I donated them last time I moved. Maybe IKEA will bring them back for the Fall? Or you might try eBay.. Good luck!

Very cute--it would look great on my sofa! :)

pppppppppplease pick me! I loved your last book!

Ooh please please please pick me!

Forget the window treatments--I want that plant! Anybody know what it is?

I like the wallpaper exactly where it is--it'd be kind of boring to rotate and move it above the couch. Plus, then you'd have a lot of things crowded in the center of the wall, with lots of empty space on either side--also an unbalanced look.

That being said, you need something else to balance the room. I wouldn't do a print or even a set of prints so close to the wallpaper; that would compete with it. Try something smaller with a little bit of color to it (yellow or pink?)...maybe a round mirror or sculptural piece. Alternatively, try a large print on the other side of the sofa, maybe with similar colors but totally different style or subject matter.

that is so cute! i think everybody needs a chair shaped like a chicken!

Whoa do I need this! Hope I'm picked!
