Great job, jedigras. I look forward to seeing your excellent little apartment beat out some 1,200 sq.ft monster.

Could an international contestant have R&B send a prize to a relative in the U.S.? I live in Canada too, but only temporarily...

konroy,

You've been a great resource on this thread. Thanks a lot!

If the dog pees on the cushion, do you have to throw it away? Or is there some way to clean it? This has become a problem for me lately as one of my dogs is getting pretty old and just can't hold it like he used to...

We have a game night every week (usually Friday or Sunday), restricted to people who actually enjoy playing games. We're in the Settlers franchise/Arkham Horror/Railroad Tycoon/Carcassonne/etc. set.

Go with art supplies, K T G. Crayons, paint, and paper are inherently gender neutral.

A picture of the Weber grill? Really?

Why don't you just make one?

Redecorating aside, the juxtaposition between the "before" and "after" pictures reminds me of a late-night infomercial.

I really like the hood above the fire place, and the doors throughout the home. It's a great-looking home! Here's hoping we get an AT Canada sometime soon...

Palmetto:

They linked to the article where they retrieved the photos. That seems reasonable enough to me; they're certainly not taking credit for them.

I think making my own monogram/bookplate sounds like an excellent Winter Break project; thanks for the idea, AT! Half the fun, of course, is making it yourself. I suspect making a stamp or woodblock is the best way if I don't want to print out stickers?

I would really love to know exactly how many animal-based products those ATers who complain about taxidermy have in their homes. Leather is easy to identify; how about the paint in your homes and on your furniture/tchotchkies and the glue which keeps them together, the alcohol and food you consume (do you examine each item to avoid gelatin, coloring, flours?), your cosmetics and toiletries (just because it was not tested on animals, does not mean it does not contain animal parts), your means of transportation, etc? Each and every person who complains here on AT about taxidermy has adopted a vegan diet, I hope?

Most of the animal-based products you use (and believe me, you likely use them) no longer have 'reproachful eyes' to make you feel guilty, but you nevertheless live in a world full of the ghosts of once-living creatures sacrificed to make your life easier. "Let he who has not sinned..." and get over it.

There are plenty of human beings in the world--never mind other species of animals--who suffer because of your lifestyle. Why don't you direct your energy toward those injustices, rather than complaining on a home decor site about cow hide rugs and such?

Looks like he is daydreaming to me. I look forward to reading the reactionary comments of ATers offended that a naked torso has made its way onto the site through the "In My Bedroom" feature.
