I wouldn't go selling my wedding band, or my heirloom Christmas ornaments, even though I am aware that they are just "things". However, I have always had a rule that if we don't use it for 6 months we don't need it. We also try not to buy anything on a whim. We wait a minimum of a month, up to a few years before we buy things that aren't considered necessities.

I'm not sure what is being used here, but typically plates intended to be hung on the wall will have a slightly taller foot ring that flares out a little. This way you can just wrap a wire around the foot ring and hang it from a nail.

I'd hate to go to bed in this after a long night of drinking...

Aspenchick - How about putting a screen door on the nursery? This way the door is "open" so you can see and hear the baby, but the cats won't be able to go in there. You should be able to find nice wooden screen doors which would look much more attractive than an aluminum one.

I totally had that balloon lamp when I was little!!

I had a TV in my room growing up, but as an adult, I won't have a TV in the bedroom. My partner and I usually take that time settling into bed to talk about our day, and our plans for the following day....if we aren't taking that time for a little something else, that is. When we stay at his parents house we end up watching the Dog Whisperer in bed until we fall asleep.

I like the old design better. Too cluttered/busy/confusing....The articles seem lost in all the other stuff going on around them.

I'm from northern Michigan, and growing up our Christmas trees were usually cut from the woods around where we lived. We'd go out as a family on my birthday (Dec.8) every year, trampling through the snow, arguing over which was better. Then when the holidays were over it was burned in the woodstove to heat the house.

We go back to our hometown for the holidays now so we don't bother with a tree, but if we did I'd do it that way. I also think it would be nice to buy a live potted tree every year and plant it after.

Love it! But, I'm confused about pics 2 and 3 also. The plant, the the rug, the couch fabric and pillows, artwork on the wall...all different. Hmm..

As an artist, I've actually paid more than that for colored pencils (for 36: about double, actually). However, I have to agree with everton...I would never buy $18 colored pencils for kids.
