I wouldn't say it's "cool", but it is very beautiful. Well done.

Eden Organic Sencha is the-hands-down-best bagged green tea I have ever had! (Disregard the dollar store looking box, this stuff is legit).

Seekonk and Worcester are not really near Boston...both are closer to Providence.

Vinny's is awesome if you are in the area though.

Sounds really good...but can it be called a curry when curry isn't even an ingredient?

I have tired so many Seventh Generation cleaning products, and the fact is they are just not effective. I second the comment abou their toilet cleaner. The dishwashing powder is also useless. The worst product by far has been their laundry detergent; the essential oils seem to spoil on the clothes and everything ends up smelling rancid when they're dry. It took a while to pinpoint what was happening because you would never think a laundry soap would be causing clean clothes to smell dirty!

Mrs. Meyers and Method I have had much better luck with, as well as homemade cleaners using natual ingredients. Baking soda, lemon, vinegar, or peroxide can be used to clean almost anything (depending on the surface and source of dirt).

Behr Premium in Intellectual is an unbelievably gorgeous, very dark, earthy charcoal.

I can attest that sleeping in a dark charcoal room is heavenly, AND that you need to find the right shade for the room. As much as I loved Intellectual in my old bedroom, I just couldn’t get it to work with the light in my new place.

VERY cool place, but I can't see any color worthy of being a contest like this.

Not my style, but definitely full of color and personality. I liked that it doesn't look too design-y.

I don't think I've ever seen a recipe specify what size eggs should be used, but if it did specify, I would certainly follow the instructions. If it's important enough that an recipe be specific down to the egg size, then I'd do what it says.

So, a more important question to me is, what size should you use when it just says "eggs"?

I've done this to all of my charger cables; not only does it look better, but it makes them MUCH easier to find thanks to the bright colored stripes!

It's a little time consuming, but very rewarding. I always get complimented on them.

I could never have this much going on in my own bedroom, but it looks great. I bet you had a lot of fun creating this room.

fantastic! so well done! Even though there's heavy MCM influence, it's so damn cozy. The colors are perfection.
