Unless moving in together means that I magically stop getting my period, I'll be hanging on to those ratty granny panties.

I just bought a horse head lamp that was a gross brown color and spray painted it white. It came out great and was super easy. I think you should go for it!

I have a couple of Molly Mutt "dog duvets" and I love them. Super cute and super durable. My favorite of the two is this mustard yellow with the dog portrait print: http://www.mollymutt.com/shop/dog-duvets/pictures-of-you-round

#2 looks a lot like my Ung Drill mirror from IKEA: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/40213759/

Wow. That looks gorgeous and expensive. What a great eye - I would have taken one look at that dresser and kept walking!

Hardwood floors are a must for me. And conveniently, searching for hardwoods on apartment listing sites ends up ruling out all of the cookie cutter complexes.

Washer / dryer is a must-have as well. I hate lugging my laundry out into public.

Speaking of organizing condiments, I like to use leftover six-pack containers for this and really geek out and match the beer brand to the condiments.

For instance, I'll use a PBR box to corral ketchup, mustard, steak and barbeque sauce. For items like soy sauce, sesame oil. fish sauce, gyoza dipping sauce, and siracha I'll use Tiger or Kirin. And Peroni boxes are great for jars of sundried tomatos, roasted peppers, balsamic vinegar, and pesto.

It makes it easy to grab everything you need for whatever your cooking. Grilling out? Reach for the PBR box. Making stir fry, that's the Tiger box. Cooking burritos? Grab the Coronas box.

I think you've got #2 and #4 mixed up...

Regarding #4 - why wouldn't you just tape the magnets to your desk and lose the binder clips? I don't see what they're doing, except to make the whole set-up more visible.

Adora - that's a great idea! I always try to mentally do this as I'm shopping but inevitably have to end up doing a second lap through the store.
