So chic! It makes my office look like a prison.

I JUST found out about this guy by accident last weekend while flipping through channels (they had a marathon on Direct TV's Audience channel) LOVE HIM, his designs, his personal loft apartment and I especially love Chewie.

Not that it really makes a huge difference, but since the majority of comments raved about Chewie, I thought I should point out that his dog is an OLDE ENGLISH BULLDOGGE. I know this because I have one too and is just as lazy and adorable and snorty like Chewie is. (PS my 3-yr old OEB needs a BF. ANd um, so do I -hint hint-)

Anyway I love how he uses punches of the color pink. And I love how tacky his room is. That cheesy blanket would probably not work anywhere else. His place is not my fave of his work, but I love what he does on the show. Very edgy, unconventional and his use of RECLAIMED WOOD!

Please do my house in Texas!

I've done Gatorade and Pedialite... but now I've gone a different route. Rather than worrying about having to nurse a hangover the morning after, I now take measures to prevent my hangover. PRE-NATALS. I swear by that stuff. I take it either before I go out for the night or right after I get home. It's loaded with tons of VItamin B ANDD it makes your hair and nails shiny too. And, of course, I make sure to drink plenty of water in between.

When I do get hangovers, I do love fried foods and lots of fatty carbs. Yum.

I did a gluten-free elimination diet for three months last year --- on top of already being vegan. People thought I was CRAZY especially since I wasn't celiac (I did it for my back problems). My biggest struggle was feeling full...then I learned to embrace rice more and got creative making simple dishes with vegetables, seitan (gluten-free veggie meat alternative), beans or soy. Also this might be a good opportunity to explored different cuisines, esp the rice-based ones. Thai, Japanese or my fave Vietnamese have tons of GF dishes. As long as you use tamari sauce (or Bragg's Liquid Aminos) that is! Mexican food you can make veggie fajitas with corn tortillas... Spanish food make paella... see, not so hard!

Get creative and have fun!

P.S. Good luck!

I don't understand why the majority of cheese alternatives out there have casein in it :( It seems like that variety is easier to stomach than the vegan cheese.

And am I the one who's not a huge fan of Daiya? I ordered it at Z Pizza and it just had a slimy consistency when it melts and eating it turned out to be a slimy mess. Maybe they just dumped too much of it on. Next time I'll just go cheese-less. You can never go wrong with a cheese-less pizza with extra veggies!

Oooh I might try this out. Instead of tofu I might use the Morningstar Chick'n Strips (I heat it up over the skillet first and then shred & chop by hand). The strips are already pre-seasoned so I hope it doesn't ruin the taste. Worth a try though!

I've voted for you in each round and I only wish I could vote 100 more times!

I love the wallpaper and the rug, but best when used in the same room together. I think your space is sexy, dark and hip.

HOLY COW THIS IS AWESOME. I'm still flabbergasted by how you were able to cram all that into a space that's less than 300sf. What I love about your space amongst the rest is that you personally put time and sweat into making this place functional and unique. If only I had the same kind of craftsmanship and creativity as you! (no wonder you're in industrial design....!!!)

And I love how earthy it feels in your space!
