I wish the photos were taken in better light, they are too dark to be able to see anything really well.

Logistics: Where Do You Keep Your Eggs?

The side of a measuring cup and then the egg goes into the measuring cup. Mainly because it makes it easier to get any bits of shell (it's such a pain to pick them out of a big bowl of ingredients). The countertop method seems like it could get messy!

I have the urban outfitters one - I don't personally think it is worth the $89 (not $69 as you have printed, and it's still $89 by the way) that I paid for it, but I kept it b/c it would be a pain to ship back. Plus it actually is cute and functional. I keep it on the inside of my closet door and use it to hold makeup, hair clips, and scarves.

I think it looks lovely, and I like that you turned what had been a closet into a little bar type area with a prep sink (love prep sinks!) - but I'm a little sad that you seem to have closed up the entranceway to the dining room a bit. I'm curious about why you did that?

Okay I said that after just having looked at Toshl - the other two may be more like Mint.

Mint doesn't work with all banks nor does it let you anticipate future spending - in my mind, these are two huge flaws and the reason that I don't use Mint (plus Mint does not necessarily give you real time data). These sites/apps look like they are more for tracking and budgeting on a daily basis where you're the one inputting the information, which is something that Mint doesn't do. Two completely different things guys.

It would helpful if Deidre would chime in to tell us if this is her only bedroom or if there are others in the house.

I wish she'd kept the black counters, I love the contrast.

I don't see my previous comment, but I don't like this - I think the hardware needs to be swapped out. Keeping the knobs on the top makes it look weird and the hardware overall looks dated. They should put on new modern hardware and then swap out the knobs for drawer pulls on the top.

Thanks - these are pretty much exactly what I'm looking for - we're moving into a new house this summer and I was hoping for a vanity in the bedroom since our bathroom is going to smaller than what we have now (less storage for makeup and hair stuff).

So, this sort of commenting is why I'm sad that apt therapy combined all of its various sites. I don't think it works.

p.s. Lovely party, it looks like you had a ton of fun!!

Oh, also I think a matte paint might've been better than the high gloss.

Really cool piece of furniture, but I also don't like the gray very much. I actually think this would've looked great if the trim was painted a contrasting color and the hardware was oil rubbed bronze or silver colored metal. Personally, I would've done a creamy white (more white less yellow) with black or navy trim - I do love the pastel colored interior though! And for $15, what a find!

Aluminum foil is what my mom has been using for years - it works much better at scrubbing than any brillo pad I've ever used.

My impression was not that the person asking the question wants information on where to buy a knockoff but rather they're looking for something with a similar aesthetic. So there's really no need for your snarky and snobby comments.
