Loora, you're not alone. I own one of Rachel Denny's "Domestic Trophy" series (it's a cable-knit cashmere buck), and I absolutely love it. I think it's a great piece and everyone who comes over seems to love it too. It looks great with all of my other art and complements my decor quite well.

Garden state was fantastic, but Eddie Vedder did a pretty amazing job with Into the Wild as well.

It's from Ochre in SoHo. I just went in there the other day because I am in love with their chandeliers too. I asked how much a far smaller version of the same fixture was and was aghast at the price of $25,000 - the small one was maybe 25" in diameter!!!

We used it in Manhattan and it was ok, but not great. It was cheap and quick and relatively easy, but they didn't deliver one item - luckily it was only about $12 out of the $1000 worth of stuff that was delivered. After many attempts at calling and no one making any effort on our behalf, we just wrote it off as it wasn't really worth our time. I think if they delivered it themselves instead of contracting out these problems would be resolved.

We just ordered the Metro 88" queen sleeper a couple of weeks ago and have another month or so wait since we did it in a custom fabric. We looked at a TON of sofas before we settled on the metro and we think we made the right decision.

I have been using this for a while and it is BY FAR my favorite saver. Sleek, clever, minimal, sexy - it should come standard with every mac sold in my opinion.

LOVE THIS. I've seen quite a few applications of this and have always loved it, but the shower curtain is new to me and awesome!

When I moved to SF I used Craigslist, but I also wandered around areas I liked and took down numbers on the for-rent signs. I did see some nice places with the walk around method, but Craigslist still proved to be the winner. Now I'm moving to Manhattan in about a month and am dreading that apartment search!!!

I also own the Toro Tissue Ring and I love it. Dust is not an issue as the tissues are used regularly enough not to collect any. I don't mind paying good money for good design.

One of these days I will stop moving thousands of miles every two years and live somewhere where I feel like I can actually invest in furnishings that I am going to keep for a long time, and this is certainly on the list.

He did one of these in the botanical gardens at Clemson University while I was in college there ... it was one of my favorite places there.

I would be obsessed with that collection as well - I hope he has a heavily armed guard by the door!

Hang a large horizontal piece or artwork in the inset that is the width of the couch ... nothing on the wall above.

I have been drooling over Kyle Bunting's cowhide rugs for a while, but am waiting until I actually settle down somewhere to invest in one.

I think they have quite discriminating taste - I have been lusting after that "table" for quite some time. They are also avid collectors of Banksy, whom I adore.

Please don't consider these to be pieces of furniture, but as pieces of art instead. This is the reason they were sold at Art Basel and not Room and Board. Art isn't meant to be pleasing to everyone.

I now feel like I have single handedly killed the planet with my gratuitous paper towel usage.

any such name -

You just reminded me of quite a funny story from my college days:

I lived in an old turn of the century house just behind the bars. It had been converted into three apartments - two on the bottom, and I had the top floor. I stumbled home by myself one night from the bar and sat down on the top step to finish my cigarette before going inside. The artist who lived downstairs had a couple of cats and I saw one of them at the foot of the stairs. I walked down and said, "here kitty kitty..." and bent down to give it a pet, but literally as my hand was within a centimeter of it I realized it was a giant OPOSSUM!!!!!

After the initial shock, I sat there and laughed myself to tears only wishing someone was there to witness my drunken antics!!!
