Kelly's Profile

Thanks for featuring my photo, you can read more about how I made my spice set here.

mr. O, I think they are premade, he has them labeled "Habitat Cherry Blossom Lights" on his flickr account.

I had an air mattress, which fortunately my cat chewed through and I had an excuse to throw it away. I hated it. Facing house guests in my one bedroom apartment for 2 weeks, I thought of what I would want to sleep on if I was at someone's house for that long. The only time I've ever been comfortable overnighting at someone's house is on the couch or a spare mattress on the floor.

I purchased an inexpensive Ikea mattress for around $100. It gets stowed away when guests are not in town, and gives overnight guests a semblance of a comfortable bed. If you have somewhere to stash it, I'd recommend it any day over a bulbous air mattress. Ideally, I'd love to find an easy to store wood base to create a more elegant platform bed in the future. That is, if I ever let anyone stay at my house for that long again....

I think aghman has forgotten that I actually installed his stereo, and let me attest it was a PAIN. ;) In a Honda, it basically entails taking apart the entire center panel from the stereo all the way to the gear shift and the parking brake. Lots of plastic panels to remove and replace, and screws to remember where to put back. I'm all for doing things yourself, but check to see how difficult it is before attempting it yourself.

Beautiful! The white really sets off the details. I hadn't even noticed those in the before pics. Great job. :)

I did a similar, albeit less elegant solution, when I lived in a studio. We used the drawer of the Malm unit to stash peripherals and wires. It looked nice, but was difficult to work that high, the lowered keyboard ads a nice touch.

Apologies for the post looking wonky, we've got our tech guys on it. Until then, click through to the slide show to see a Martha Stewart-free version of Chuck's photo.

At one point, Tuesday Morning did have a few of her kitchen items at discount, including the parmesan grater, and cute pale blue cappuccino and espresso cups with egg-shaped saucers.

Pixie, I had the same problem about 6 months ago. Although my powerbook was a few years older. Everything just took way too long, after trying all the usual tricks I came to the conclusion that the internet had outgrown my Mac and I needed a new one.

Here are some things I tried before giving up.

Good luck!

I think it's just a prototype Kelli, but I'm keeping it on my radar to see if it will be for sale anytime soon.
