Now, the big question is... Does Marlon still keep shirts in the fridge and bed linens in the kitchen cabinets?

count me in!

*fingers crossed*

I have this hamper, and I love it! It's very sturdy and could even be used as a place to sit for a lightweight person. It's great for a studio to have out in the open, since it's attractive and doesn't really read as a laundry hamper.

The only minor quibble I have with it is that the lid doesn't stay open. Maybe that changes with repeat usage, but it's only a very minor annoyance.

It looks like Wes lives in my neighborhood in Boston... The bay window with views of brick rowhouses just screams South End.

I think the layout is great, and the bike mounted on the wall is a great piece of functional art/storage.

I have a grouping of 12 of the Regolit shades above my bed (6 of the 11" and 6 of the 17" interspersed). I didn't buy any of the light bulb cords. Instead, I used 2 strings of white Christmas tree lights to illuminate them from above - it gives a nice soft light. Plus, it helps that I have 9.5' ceilings, so hanging them close to the ceiling gives lots of clearance above the bed. Using the strings of lights leaves only one cord to camoflage.

Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of it uploaded anywhere to link to...

June Mountain is a great place! I haven't been there in about 3 years, but snowboarding/skiing there is a great change of pace when Mammoth is a little crowded. Plus, when it's too windy at Mammoth and the top of the mountain is closed off, June is a great alternative for those looking for steeper terrain - especailly after a big storm!

June has definitely been open for skiing the past few seasons. It tends to open later and close earlier than Mammoth, so it can be under the radar.

Ah, Dow Villa... I remember it fondly.

I love Vessel's products. I'm really excited to take a look at the demi-glow candelas in particular. My guess is that, by partering with OXO, they transfer the quality control and customer service responsibilities (which both can be hard to monitor when demand gets above a certain level for a small business).

The Vessel store in Boston is getting more and more foot traffic nowadays, since they are right next to the recently-completed Chinatown park. It's the first of the park spaces created by the surface area created by the "Big Dig" to open.

I own a Guardian, and I love it... for being in my bathroom as a night light and so that I don't blind myself if I have to find something in the bathroom when waking in the middle of the night. I don't think the thing is bright enough for a successful outdoor light.

I go into Vessel's store in Boston on a regular basis. They haven't had the Guardian for over 9 months now, and I think it has to do with them coming out with an updated model.
