As far as storage, there is no reason to buy new bookcases and storage pieces from ikea every time you move. I have had modular storage--specifically the CUBITS storage system--for over 7 years and 3 different apartments, and in many different configurations. Something like cubits is very flexible, easy to rearrange, and durable. I got a couple sets off ebay and couple off craigslist, but you can find new sets at smartfurniture.com and similar stuff at the container store.

Pineapple stir fry--cook 1 cup quinoa with 1 cup water and 1 cup pineapple juice. then make stir fry (red peppers, scallions) and add pineapple chunks and cashews, and some red pepper flakes--yum. I usually get a can of pineapple chucks packed only in juice and just use the juice from the can. it adds a lot of flavor to the quinoa.

If you're getting rid of old towels or blankets, consider donating them to an animal shelter. They can use towels and blankets to pad the pad of cages or for washing the animals.

In my house we have porcelain "kissing ball" which has mistletoe painted on it. We've had it forever, and it's safe for pets and kids!

I really like your kitchen. All the color choices are great. Where is the couch from? I am looking for a linen-y slip covered sofa. Thanks!

Merm, the tokens are specifically excluded from the $50 fee. and the fee also only applies to some orders less than $300.

I use Cubits/Cubitec shelving for a room divider. Its been in a few small/cool entries as well. I actually found mine off ebay for $89 set, but I haven't seen them in a while. The Ladoro shelving from Container Store is basically the same thing and I have seen those on NYC craigslist a few times.

I think the canopy is a cool idea. you could make one yourself pretty easily, and bring some nice color/pattern in. here is a simple set of instructions:

actually, Emika, saying that grandpa did it that way IS a good argument considering how fast climate change has accelerated in this generation. clearly, what they were doing had less of an impact that what we do now
