Apartment Therapy San Francisco | Oyster Tins for Flower Arranging

Just last week I bought a 19th century French commode (complete with original hardware and marble top) from someone on Craigslist. The seller was leaving the country in a couple of days and sold it to me for less than $200! It is a gorgeous piece of furniture I treasure already. Never underestimate Craigslist.

I've already done this. It's been at least a year since I've had a TV. I don't miss it one bit.

Why not just ask the people in charge of purchasing at the Hotel?

I got an armchair similar to the one at the link from Target and it is the best armchair I've ever sat in. I've had it for nearly two years and it has held up beautifully. It's very roomy.

I paired it with a storage ottoman (also from Target) and it has made for great relaxation.

RE: Last photo - why only look at the pole? Suspending each globe to show a different locale would be more visually interesting and mentally stimulating.

My major beef with this post is the quote, "The wall color and chairs (notice how the pattern continues on the legs?) alone are to die for..." To die for? Time to withdraw that phrase from our lexicon. Especially in this context. Editors!

Apartment Therapy Chicago | Dexter for Dinner?
1/15/09 10:25 PM

this bit cracked me up:

"What is that weird sound by the window? Sounds like someone is outside the door. Hmm...guess I have to check on all of it by my lonesome self (and possibly a baseball bat and a phone)."

i live in manhattan. you become immune to random sounds and definitely don't get a fright from them. i've never had one dangerous incident or near-dangerous one occur outside my door in the 19 years i've lived here thank god. the scene above is just so funny.. i hope no one really lives like that.

but beside all that, i think there are NO cons to living alone except for one raised before - that i could meet my maker and no one would know for a good three days or more. and my cat! he'd be the one i'd be more worried about should i pass at home.

Guerilla, where have you been? AT links to other blogs all the time. Most of their finds are good additions. When you were typing out your comment, did it ever occur to you that you were addressing a real person?
