I love reading but I only keep my visual books and reference books (and out of print books). All other books go. iPad/kindle is a great way to store books you want to access but aren't "special". A Bookworm's Dilemma: Ditch Books When Downsizing? |

I love seeing what other people pack, almost to the point of obsession! I love that you brought 6 dresses. Dresses are my western hemisphere travel uniform too (not so good traveling in the East though). I never have to think about whether the top matches the bottom. Like HSOJ, I just travel with an iPad now. I also bring a chamois towel, and a miniature first aid kit that fits in an Altoid tin. I buy all my shampoos and toiletries at my destination but usually have a bottle of Dr. Bronners as backup.

I really do love it. The living room is gorgeous. And the floor, and the big ass windows. And the Togo. And I hate them for having it. ;) Sam & Anne's Colorful Modern Mix House Tour |

So super awesome. I wonder how it would fare in USA though, with our crappy building construction, seems drywall screws would not be enough to support the weight of a small person. Buskas Indoor Climbing Tree |

I love the cozy yellow 100x more than the white, and I don't even like yellow! Also it doesn't help that the "white" (grey?) picture is of very low quality, so you can't see the details in the items in the room, and there is way too much contrast, so you can't see the warmth of that beautiful floor or the colorful ottoman thingee. Run-on sentence I know. Anyway, it's always fun to change up paint in a room and if it makes you happy, then all the better! Making a Change: What A Difference Paint Makes |

Usually one really bad day in January will prompt me to book a flight to Mexico in February or March. Then I look forward to that all winter and it keeps me going. How Do You Beat The Winter Blues at Home? |

I always like orange, though this one seems a little saturated and too reddish for my tastes, but it's still pretty (just not for my house). This may sound awful but I usually use the color of the year as my clue what NOT to buy, hehe. Designer's Palette: Using 2012's Color of the Year at Home |

I like these lists as a guideline for me to extrapolate upon. I have a suggestion for the people with kids. If your kids can walk and talk, they can help out. I think it's a good idea to get them used to responsibility of cleaning/helping out early on. If more people did this, we wouldn't end up with so many partners/spouses who have absolutely NO CLUE how to clean or tidy up. How To Clean Your House in 20 Minutes a Day for 30 Days |

the word "gypsy" used to mean "from Egypt" and is considered a racial slur. That doesn't stop me from using it lovingly if generically. I love the "gypsy" look and lifestyle. The photo is beautiful. The New Gypsies by Iain McKell |

I have received so many useful gifts over the years, I feel quite blessed. Bicycle (save the environment AND health), MacBook Pro, Sonicare toothbrush, fishtank heater...

I would love to receive houseplants of any kind. Since most people give gifts to people they know pretty well, it doesn't seem very "risky" to give a gift of a plant (if the person has plants already), or things that wear out, such as the linen towels.

These are all gorgeous. I love patterned floors and pattern on wood just seems especially unique. A New Look for Wood Floors: Painting & Staining in Patterns |
