Oh you have to choose "holdy-things" that work for you. My desk used to look the same way. I got a vertical file folder organizer that makes it easy to stash away stuff that piles up quickly. The key for me was buying organizers that don't allow me to pile stuff on top of them. If you are anything like me you will need LOTS of open style storage, I can't stand having to open a box or a drawer to put things away, right at my finger tips is the only way. Good luck, can't wait to see what you do! I posted a photo of my space on my blog if you want to take a peek to get ideas: http://www.mintedcondition.com/home-office

I was there too! It was a blast, those ladies really know how to throw a party. Glad you had fun!

Woo! I just used this wire system to put up a wall of curtains in my apartment, and it looks great. I love how it looks a little industrial/utilitarian. Thanks for the info, and yeah the guy at Lowe's didn't know what a T Buckle was, but he pointed me to the turnbuckles, which is what I needed. I love how a few dollars can get you the equipment to cover an entire wall with curtains. I can't imagine the nightmare it would have been for me to do a whole wall using curtain rods. Thanks apartment therapy!

High Fructose Corn Syrup is also made from genetically modified corn. The health hazards of GM foods are heavily debated, however I don't personally feel comfortable eating GM food products. If you feel the same way, avoid HFCS.

Also, most of this GM corn comes from Monsanto Corporation which has shady ethical practices at best. For more information watch The Future of Food.

I found this giant, porcelain queen chess piece at Ross. It sits on my desk and peeks out from behind my computer, it is one of my favorite things in my house. I think it was $8. There is a Ross around the corner from my apartment, I go in there about once every two weeks to see what new they have because inventory moves fast there.

Friday nights?

We invite people over, and end up sitting around the table talking for hours or playing board games. It's so much more enjoyable than going to a bar, spending tons of money, and watching drunk people. Plus, you can actually hear what people are saying, instead of yelling over the bar music/noise.
