If you like the vintage style stoves, I recommend checking out Bertazzoni.

Their stoves make fire and have a light and a fan - there isn't even a clock. And they're absolutely gorgeous. Painted in the same factory that paints ferraris and mazeratis, if you're looking to sell a car-fanatic on the idea.

I like this idea for my bedroom, but I think the snaps would be a chore. Any ideas from the hivemind about other ways to secure it?

Sun dried mother effing tomatoes. It's my favorite way to class up Kraft macaroni and cheese, which is a guilty pleasure I've had since the fourth grade.

Cambridge and Somerville are awesome if you're just out of college and don't mind living with a lot of hipsters who don't know who the mayor is. I loved it, but it isn't called "the people's republic of Cambridge" for nothing.

Definitely get something on the Red Line if you can, but don't limit yourself. Don't be afraid of Dorchester. You might want to get a few month sublet someplace inexpensive, like Quincy, and from there figure out what neighborhood really works for you. Also - you'd be picking up a lease in January. It's a nastier time to move, but there may be more options than in October, which is still near the studentoverload time of the year.

For the Tempurpedic you're going to have to borrow one from someone who already has broken it in - it can take a month just for the chemical smell to go away.

As someone who bought one and isn't happy, I'd love to hear your review. For me, it's too hard, and I have trouble with my arms and even shoulders getting pins and needles unless I sleep straight on my back. Ug.

I think this looks more faux-easy than it really is. I like it, but to get that clean scalloped line at the top, I guess that she probably took the time to go over her edges with a paintbrush, making sure everything was two coats. And painted a large part of the upper wall with ceiling white beforehand.

I bet making mistakes with this method takes just as much time to touch up as a traditional line. I would love to save time as much as the next person, but painting a straight line in a corner is something you can get good at. And that will save you time.
