Thanks MyLastBite, I think I'm going to hunt down the Bonny Doon. My boyfriend loves Riesling so that's a perfect suggestion.

Thanks to everyone for your recommendations!

I like it, that color combination looks very adult modern.

I did the exact same thing, ran to DominoMag.com to save all the My Deco File photos I have. I plan to steal plenty of inspiration for the site until it's taken down. :(

I sit down every weekend, look at what I have in the fridge already, plan out meals based on what I already have that I can use and write a non-organized grocery list down.

When I get to the store I always start in the fresh produce section since that's what I buy the most of and work my way across the store, watching the list as I go. This method has helped me cut down on waste and is saving me probably at least $20/week on groceries. I don't stray very much from the list, unless something is on sale for a great price.

so sad. maybe my subscription is the kiss of death. First Jane Magazine, which I'm still sad over. And now domino. I'd better save all everything from "My Deco File" immediately!

random I know, but what plant is that in the top photo? I've been looking everywhere for one of those.

I sat in those chairs at the store last weekend and they were not comfortable at all. Too bad, I was so excited about the price!

I made this recipe last night. I added turkey & chicken portabella sausage (cooked out of the casing) and topped it with roasted pine nuts. It went well with the bottle of Zinfandel I opened to celebrate Obama's inauguration. It was delicious and quick enough that I got to watch plenty of the ball coverage! I will definitely be making this one again.

Love the rug in the bedroom, it compliments the sofa and coffee table perfectly. Where is it from?

Looks like I'm in the minority but I'm gravitating towards option B, the zig zag. It looks Missoni-inspired.

I could maybe work with the day bed. Put it up against a wall or under a window - paint the legs and add lots of bright, textured pillows.

I've been playing with this tool a lot lately. I've used Behr paint before and never had a problem. The tool at the Home Depots always seem to fail me, I have found that the website is a lot more reliable and there are more color choices than the color swatches in-store.

No thanks, this is a gorgeous room and I think the lockers are all wrong.
