Lovely, and my baker friend would LOVE this!

I love Archipelago candles, but be careful if you or a dear one is allergic to soy!
(They're soy candles...) They smell exotic and nice and last a heck of a long time. A shop near my apartment sells them for $27 which is more than I would normally spend on a candle but I received the one I'm currently burning (Dubai) for my burthday.

I bought a fjellse bed almost exclusively so I could come up with a creative way to upholster it. I don't love this particular fabric but still a fun furniture mod!

I got this same table and its chairs for free on Craigslist while furnishing my current (and first ever) apartment. It's painted a tragic chipped matte black and I can't wait to spruce it up once the weather is nice and I can work on this project outdoors. There's a really great re-vamp on this table on a blog I found:

Check out nimi design

I love what she did with it and plan to do a similar project on mine staining the top with vinegar.

Ikea has an option that looks similar to the SnapNStore called Kassett. They come in a two back and require you to fold 11.5"x8" sheets in half but I use mine to organize things that come in the mail in envelopes or postcards. If you're not terribly concerned about your documents lying flat and like the look I recommend them.

I don't normally like to argue against the tips posted on Apartment Therapy but this tip seems like a dud. While it would be wonderful to be able to eat away from my desk, the time I'm allotted to venture away from work and eat would leave me hungry and miserable. I like the idea of keeping a bowl of fruit at one's desk like @thesongbirdy !

These look fragile and like they'd fall apart. And I'm a little creeped out by the appearance as well! But with such rave reviews I might have to get over that and give them a try. My apartment doesn't have a dishwasher and seeing as I think I'll be in it for quite some time, finding a good sponge is important to me.

I'm ambivalent about the color combination. It reminds me of an old classroom. But it's uncommon and a nice surprise.

@Oobleck - that's such a fun twist on this idea! I'll have to give that a try!

I love the texture of these. It reminds me of my old neighbor who was a potter and sold classic pottery with her own personal twist on each piece. Lovely!

I like the idea but agree that this price is steep. Would be a pretty quick and easy DIY though!
