But where would the chair's outlet get its power? In the first picture, there's no evidence of the chair being plugged in somewhere...

I expected AT reader complaints about the curtains being within grabbing reach, but how refreshing that there aren't any! I think this is a wonderful (and nice-looking) set up.

If you like photos like the pie and eggs, a cheaper option is to buy an image off of a stock photography Web site. Similar look (real life photography) and you can pick which image you like best.

This is really cool. I think it would be perfection if she aged the brass handles too, but it's still gorgeous and clever as is.

...that is, if it weren't so fragile. I just think the look of it is great for kids.

The first one would be so fun in a kid's room.

I've had to do that. Just tell them the word, but one key to the right. Using my previous example, tell them, "My password is milliondollarsmile, all one word, all lowercase. But type each key to the right. So, instead of M, type the key next to it. Repeat for all of the letters."

Kind of a long explanation, but it works.

@vix vax
Nike is the goddess of strength, speed, and victory. The "swoosh" mark represents that movement/momentum. For sneakers that are supposed to make you faster and better, that logo's not a fail.

@chaotic
McDonald's golden arches are an M for McDonald's, and are golden like their French fries. I don't see how that's a fail either.

Comparing those to AT's logo doesn't work because the squiggle doesn't directly have anything to do with AT itself, unlike the Nike or McDonald's logos. The AT's squiggle logo is kind of weird and doesn't directly relate to its "product" or company purpose, but for a design blog that doesn't matter so much.

"Forcing their servants"? Really? Let's have a little respect for all sides here, even if you don't agree with them. This is not the place to argue (or name call) political parties. It's an article about gardening.

@LaurensJam
I don't live in the US either (Asia, actually), so I had similar thoughts. At least a link to where we can find the info we need would have been nice.

Oh, lighten up, folks. It's "automated" because that fits the acronym that I presume spells his name (Brad). And it's a fun room! Who cares if he needs to do it or not.

It's clever and silly, and that's the point. Did you do anything as creative with your room when you were in college? I didn't. This kid is cool.

Update:

Reno's has a Web site now: http://www.renosbistro.com/

Also, the 99 yen store where we used to shop is now closed. But there are lots of other great grocery stores in the area, too.

I'm just glad they stopped doing the royal "we" finally. That was so annoying.

10 Things You Need to Know about Apartment Therapy

I learned somewhere (Lifehacker, maybe?) the trick to pick an easy to remember password, and then move my hands one set of keys to the right (or left, your choice) before typing.

Example:

milliondollarsmile = ,o;;opmfp;;std,o;r

Pretty hard to guess that. Tack a number on the end if it's required (the date tip in this article would work).

Do you think you should leave your sweaters out like that if you've had a moth problem once already? Seems risky to me.

Have you seen this Unclutterer article about moths and sweaters? http://unclutterer.com/2011/10/07/ask-unclutterer-how-should-i-store-sweaters-this-winter/

I wouldn't recommend using these in a toaster or oven. They'd burn.
