The tile flooring looks fantastic. What size are the tiles?

I wish more of my clients would buy into how beautiful a garden can look as it transitions from season to season. The majority of them think that once a plant turns brown it's dead and so ask me to rip the plant out and replace it. My friends and family love it because their gardens are full of beautiful perennials!

Nothing says 'I love you' more then cleaning the toilet.

Really cheery looking, makes me think spring is not too far off. How far down do the curtain panels hang? We have a similar set-up and I'd love to have a bright colourful curtain on our currently bare window. I didn't see the curtains on the marimekko website, did you make them?

Having a dog is a huge responsibility and should only be considered when you've found secure housing and can commit to taking care of the pet for the rest of it's life. Your friend made the right decision and hopefully the dog will be returned to its owner or will find a new forever home. Looking at the pasadena humane society website I was shocked to see how few of the dogs have been neutered. If you can't afford to have your pet spayed or neutered you shouldn't get one.

My dog loves our Flokati rug and although he's black and the rug is cream, it comes clean with a good shake. He'd love this doggy bed!

I think in a couple or roommate situation a house cleaner would be great. No matter what "agreement" my boyfriend and I try to come up with in regards to who will clean what, I usually end up being the one to do all the cleaning. Maybe are standards are different, or maybe it's because he's mother did everything for him. I let our place get totally messy this week just to prove a point, but now I'm having a friend for dinner and I have to clean:(
I'm sure housekeeper's can be credited with keeping couples together!

My suggestion would be to find an individual who owns their own cleaning business and is looking for long-term clients.
I own my own gardening company and I'm happy they're are people who want help with their gardens. If their weren't people looking for "hired help" then many of us wouldn't have careers/businesses that we love and that provide us with a good income.
If you're willing to pay someone well and treat them as a valuable resource then I have no doubt you'll find the perfect person to help within your home.

I am a vegi, for many reasons: the environment, the way animals are raised for mass consumption and I've never liked the taste of meat. I must say I take less issue with an animal being raised with respect and then a farmer utilizing all the parts of the animal. Fur production is not ethical, they don't allow the animals to roam, nor do they use all of the animal.
If you like the idea of fur, get a living breathing animal from your local pound and cuddle away.

I had no idea that coyotes were used for their fur. I did some research after reading about the above hammock and was truly disgusted with what I found. Placing a wild animal into captivity for their fur is cruel and completely unnecessary in today's world. It's one thing to kill an animal that has roomed freely in the wild and to then use all of the animal for food and clothing, it's another to use animals for design or fashion.
Coyotes run freely in Vancouver, BC and I can't imagine these poor creatures living in cages. I wonder how much Kanye West would like living in a box?
