This story brought back memories of when I graduated from HS and my mom announced she was selling the house I had lived in my entire life (even born in, by accident). I was heartbroken to leave behind my beloved light blue bedroom with cloud wallpaper. Now, 10 years later, I just hope my husband and I eventully find a place that feels so much like home.

This is a very timely post for me. I am signing the lease today on an apartment with an eat in kitchen but it's too small for my dining table so that's going in the living room. I've been enjoying searching online for a smaller work/dining table for the kitchen. I love all the possibilities of decorating a new place! 10 Stylish Eat In & Open Kitchens Inspiration Gallery | Apartment Therapy Chicago |

Between all of the bookshelves, conversation areas, and pool table I thought this place was a swanky community center. Apartment Therapy Los Angeles | Inside One of Santa Monica's Oldest Homes |

Cooking over a campfire seems like a great idea for this recipe. You could bring the ingredients in their own bowls so the cooked pasta wouldn't get mushy, then combine them when they're ready to be cooked. Sounds pretty yummy for camp food.

When I was growing up in the Midwest we always stored our firewood in a pile a few feet from the house specifically because of termites. I agree that this is a cool idea and interesting to look at but if anyone has ever peered at what takes up residence under a pile of wood they might think twice before bringing that pile inside.

"The Beige Box" - It's a nice apartment but I curse the person who decided to take our already gneric box-like apartment and paint the walls and ceiling of every room the same boring shade of beige. Apartment Therapy Los Angeles | How Do You Describe Your Home? |

My husband and I have lived in four different apartments together so far and we've never been unable to fit our king size bed in (somehow). We see it as a bit of a necessity since my husband is 6'5" and those long arms and legs need space so they're not banging into me in the middle of the night.

I have some tea that has a wonderful smell but only so-so taste. Maybe I will cut some teabags open and pour them into a small bowl for the bathroom. Apartment Therapy Los Angeles | Instant Air Freshener For Small Spaces |

@heathshah - I was just going to suggest this recipe. I saw them make it on America's Test Kitchen and then I looked it up in Cook's Illustrated. My husband and I agreed that this was the best chicken tikka masala we'd ever had. Apartment Therapy The Kitchn | Chicken Tikka Masala from The Pioneer Woman Recipe Review |

My last place had light yellow walls in the kitchen and it was so lovely. I would definitely recommend yellow to go with the lime. Apartment Therapy Boston | What Color To Paint This Kitchen? Good Question |

I have found realmemories.com to be a great source for photo framing. You can upload your digital photo, then choose a mat and frame, and they send you the framed and matted photo in about two weeks. It's not super cheap (about $30-$50 dollars for the finished product, depending on the frame you choose) but it is pretty high quality.

I've been to The Crescent. My mom used to take me there and we'd scare ourselves silly imaging ghosts around every corner. Apartment Therapy Chicago | Eerie Escapes: Haunted Hotels |

These are lovely choices but of all the things to buy brand new I would think a blanket to put on the ground and eat on would not be one of them. Go to a thrift store, buy an old quilt, give it a good wash, and never worry about getting it dirty. $139 indeed. Apartment Therapy New York | The Best Picnic Blankets to Get You Through The Summer |

Ps- The hole looks like it's over a bin. Maybe it's for trash from food prep? Apartment Therapy The Kitchn | Kitchen Spotlight: Tom's Old and New City Galley |

Does anyone know anything about the colorful flatware pictured? They look like awesome pieces for every day use (if they're not super expensive). Apartment Therapy The Kitchn | Kitchen Spotlight: Tom's Old and New City Galley |

I am with the people who have sugested the East Bay. My husband commutes to downtown SF every day from Rockridge in Oakland and it takes him less than 25 mintues and no gas. Plus, rent is much more reasonable and it's a lot easier to find a place that allows pets. Best of all, it's not called "The Sunny Side of the Bay" for nothing.

Ahh windows in the bathroom- a longstanding dream of mine. Without them, it seems like the bathroom (and my towels) never get 100% dry after a shower. Apartment Therapy San Francisco | Flickr Finds: A Simple, Bright Bathroom |

We had concrete floors in our last apartment and we had to put down rugs everywhere we didn't want bare feet to touch cold floor. Easy to clean but other than that not very nice to live with. Apartment Therapy DC | Good Questions: Replacing Out-dated Carpeting? |
