May I add one more tip for the holiday shopper...

Please realize that you are not a special snowflake who is entitled to exactly everything you want exactly when you want it. Other people exist, not just to serve you, and have lives of their own to live.

Rant over. I'm sending good vibes to every retail employee out there this season. It's brutal.

If a couple feels comfortable enough to put pictures of their home's interior and personal belongings (and themselves) on the internet, why is it particularly gauche to ask how much the rent costs?

I like how spacious it seems for such a small apartment. They didn't over-furnish, which is nice, and the use of some warm colors keeps the place from looking too gloomy. If you want grey and dismal, just look out the windows. ;)

I can't imagine any room/lighting where that sofa would look good. Another vote for a slipcover...one that really covers.

I sleep with a white noise machine on and wear earplugs while vacuuming (or I get a headache). Wearing headphones just to get some peace while reading or knitting is a great idea.

This sort of thing is getting more necessary as we become more overpopulated and exist nearly shoulder to shoulder 24/7.

This place is so bright, modern, clean and organized. Happy guy and doggie.

I find the "Customer Service" sign on the headboard a bit disconcerting, though. Maybe I'm being too literal.

Is that a Tarantula on the coffee table?

I loathe winter. The only good things are that I can bake more and I can knit bigger items that feel warm while they're resting on me.

I have a retractable clothes line on the outdoor patio, one in the garage, and I use several clothing racks in my office to line-dry clothes. If I use a machine to dry everything, I have to replace my clothing too often.

In my next life, when I live completely alone, I want a studio apartment. Ah, simplicity.

@ E the C...I think the guy at the right is nomming on some pizza. The woman up top is making the bed.

I LOVELOVELOVE that zig-zag afghan! Can't see much else.

When you say you just can't sell it, do you mean that you've tried to sell it and no one will buy it? If that's the case you probably just need to lower the price.

I'm a quilter and have never heard of anyone using wedding dress fabric in a quilt. Interesting idea. Using non-cottons in quilt tops can be challenging. You might want to get several opinions from experienced quilters about this.

The baptism gown idea is adorable. Much better than trying to pass down a wedding gown to your daughter (who will want her own dress, most likely). Make sure you have plenty of photos of the dress before it's altered in any way. :)
