My mother has her own faux finishing business, and her work is beautiful. There is a difference between sponge/plastic bag do-it-yourself trends and professional faux work. As long as it's understated, and isn't contributing to an overdone "theme" in every room of the house, it looks amazing. If you don't think faux techniques can compliment modern decor, then you haven't seen what a real faux artist can do. It's not all about plaster and kitschy themes.

I love the mirror above the bed! Where is it from?

I was just going to ask about that dog bed! I saw a corner of it in the flash card post and was dying to know...

Jenae here! Thanks for the comments. The problem is my bf and I already bought the unit, unpacked it, spent three hours trying to put it together, almost started WWIII/ended our relationship, then decided it was not worth the time, hassle, or the (relatively small) amount of money. We will probably try to sell it on CL. I don't know what the problem was-maybe it was our crazy uneven floors-but as soon as we got one side assembled, I would try to hold it together while he assembled the other side, yet everything would inevitably fall apart when we hammered in the dowels or moved it at all. I've also thought of buying it already assembled, but I unfortunately have no way of transporting it.

Mies, I second the older dogs!

I was a senior in high school in Kansas City. We were sitting in math, and another teacher came to the door and motioned for my teacher to come out to the hallway. They talked for a few minutes, then my teacher came back in and told us one of the towers had been hit by a plane. At that point, we thought it was an accident, and he continued with the last few minutes of class. My class after that was current events, so we spent that class watching the live footage on the news, and saw the second tower collapse. We all were just stunned into shock and silence. It was weird to know that we were watching something that would be remembered forever; something that was changing everything. It's rare that you witness something that you know will impact history-even as it's happening. They didn't cancel classes, but nothing much got done that day. It was so surreal to see the terror and watch it happening. I feel for all of the victims families, and it's something that drives me to pay attention to politics and issues going on everywhere.

Um, it's Pet Month. Where have you been?

Or you could always get a hairless cat... (eek!)

Whoops, now I'm spelling like Dubya :)
