@Sean,

I totally agree. Some of the best coffee I've had was made on an old stovetop espresso maker. I think quality beans (Illy is the best IMO) and the water used make the most difference.

Do yourself a favor - buy a Bialetti espresso maker for 30 bucks, and use all the money you saved to buy Illy!

I still don't get the need to catalog your own books like this. I'm an English lit major with hundreds of books (with more being constantly added), and an iPhone addict, but this still seems like a ridiculous endeavor.

The only reason given which I can understand is enmnm's about rare/antique books and insurance; but those books wouldn't have bar codes to scan anyway...

I prefer to keep my library a little mysterious I guess. Treasures just become stuff when you turn them into data.

This is about as "inspiring" as a strip mall. And the paint, while indeed cool and modern, is almost exactly the same as the wall I'm staring at right now. There are magical lands called [generic big box supercorp home improvement store] with whole walls of paint swatches!!

Beautiful! I really love the effect of ambiguous time from having so many spokes and no numbers.

Very cool! I hate potpourri and typical air freshener scents, so I'll definitely be trying this.

The different designs are a bit busy for me, but I LOVE the shelving otherwise! It's also nice to see actual literature on them. Book collections shown on AT are almost always filled with art/design books.

I LOVE this. But I'm a bit of a science nerd...

The foot and the second picture are the remnants of the statue of emperor Constantine. Talk about massive - it was over 40ft tall - SEATED

That's the perfect solution for my bedroom. I dread opening my blinds to view the neighbor's unsightly yard, so this would work great.
