I have the exact same secretary desk as in #3! Anyone know anything about it?

I never loved turquoise in highschool, but now I love my 1960's, Chicago-made turquoise chair. Love it against the yellow walls!

My boyfriend is obsessed -- OBSESSED! -- with his aeropress.

Whoa, Erin, where do you sell your paintings? Here in Philadelphia?

And, YAY for more Philly on AT!

@Miss*Lisa: in my case, the cost was for the looks/form since it was semi-out in the open, although function was important too.

I pre-ordered the ModKat months ago (and got 20% off!) because I had looked literally everywhere for a good cat box solution. I have a one BR with no appropriate place for a litter box.

So, honestly, after so much searching and stress, the cost was worth it.

I slowly introduced it to my 12-pound cat, and now it's in the corner of my living room (!) behind a chair.

Plus: It's attractive, barely noticeable, does NOT look like a cat box, is easy to clean due to the liner and the swivel top, my cat likes it.

Minus: My cat still manages get cat litter on the floor.

Overall, I am a fan and still happy with my investment. If I had a place to hide the cat box, I wouldn't have purchased it. And no, I am not going to replace it every year.

I am trying to do this too, to my Philly apartment. I have wide windowsills inside -- perfect for plants. (I do feel guilty about taking up my cat's window space though!)

Any ideas on the windows that get most light? Southern-facing, I've heard?

What Tara said - not sure if I love the couch or the floor more.

Hmm, that's a good question. I would probably hang a stranger's portrait if there was another element to it - an interesting scene, or twist, rather than a straight-up portrait.

I am longing to have portraits of family/friends to hang though.

Just don't do berber! My cat is constantly attached to that -- and not on purpose.
