I'm assuming this was in one of the collection or specialty J.Crew shops. They put a lot of love into all of their stores, but really treat their collection shops as showcases.

I used to work at a J.Crew that became a collection store. New tables, new jewelry cases, new clothing racks, etc. We were told that the new mannequins cost about $2000 each. I almost had a heart attack every time I saw a small child playing around the mannequin perched in a seated position on the entry table.

Um, best dorm room view ever?

My college had a beautiful campus and a beautiful lake with some beautiful views...but dang. That's gorgeous.

Yeah...I like them, too.

But even if I didn't like them, they are neutral enough that I wouldn't bother doing anything to them. And I've painted tile walls and a kitchen counter.

I'm not a big fan of tree-toppers (on trees, that is - I think classic glass finial tree toppers are absolutely gorgeous). I hang a tiny (half dollar-sized) homemade paper Moravian star *near* the top.

I had a lot of trouble getting RSVPs back for my wedding this summer. Most of them ended up being a "no" and felt guilty. But it's sooo much less awkward to just circle "no" on the pre-stamped RSVP and throw it in the mail than me e-mailing, facebooking, and texting you (I'm an introvert, so no talking on the phone for me).

Also, I had one person RSVP "yes" and then the day before sent a facebook message saying she wasn't going to be able to make it. She lives halfway across the country, so it's not like it was a last minute decision or anything. Plane tickets are expensive, so I wasn't offended at all, I just thought it was funny.

YES!!! I have always loved to clean and organize, but I have to be in the mood. I would always flip through this book for inspiration. Worked every time.

I don't have kids, nor have I even held a baby, but I love rocking chairs. They are so soothing. And I always forget this until I sit in one and can't help but rock and relax. I would imagine that they would be wonderful for getting little ones and sleep-deprived parents to drift off into dreamland. They are a simple luxury.

Find someone to install a custom mirror to fill the entire area above the fireplace and add trim around the edge to make it seem like it has always been there. You'll have a giant mirror that reflects lots of light, and if the spirit ever moves you to put something above the fireplace you can set it on the mantle while still having a giant mirror.

Ask Jenna Lyons.

First of all, this is beautiful. What a beautifully efficient use of space.

Second of all, OH MY GOODNESS, my father's family has a cabin in Gilpin county, just outside of Rollinsville! My great grandfather built it many years ago. I have always wondered what some of the other cabins were like - who knew I would find out on Apartment Therapy!
