I have a cute outdoor bench with cushons but don't think I've actually even sat on it. Who on earth has time to nap?

I live in a rented apartment with dark brown mid-century particle board cabinets in the kitchen that the owner insists are Victorian era and must not be painted. The floors and doorways are sloped in most rooms making picture hanging a challenge everywhere. But I still love my house! Perfection is so...boring.

I agree with j i that some curtains or a window treatment would look wonderful in the kitchen or bathroom. It's a chance to add some color.

Very clever, but the hipster ghetto aesthetic doesn't appeal to me.

These chairs are ubiquitous, but reading that 1 in 3 households in SF has these chairs made me think we're all a little out of touch here! One in three design-loving neo-yuppie homes, more like.

Also in the bathroom storage department, I've been looking for a skinny tiny magazine holder for a tiny bathroom forver. Anyone have any ideas?

I agree with patia that dish racks are a waste of counter space. That's why I love the folding bamboo option. When it's not in use, it folds up easily and I stash it under the sink.

No matter how tiny the plastic racks, you're always stuck with them on the countertop.

It looks like I had the same first thought as others. It's not that bad! A chalky brown paint color would set off the tiles nicely.

One of our cats will only take care of business in an open air box. Every time I read one of these posts I sigh with envy of those with more trainable or cooperative furry friends. Fortunately, we have a musroom to stash the box out of site. But it's definitely hideous.

I have the CB2 nesting tables and they make an awesome coffee table for a tiny living room and become instant mini TV trays which is cool. They are slightly cheaper than the full-size coffee table ($200).

I agree with inkomae. Better post this under decorating for pets. Just when the kitties thought they couldn't do any better then vintage wicker speakers. Cat scratcher heaven!

Really?! I always thought these were so tacky. Like, old school arts and crafts, pre-Renegade Craft Fair.

We stack a couple extra quilts on a stool by the bed, one of which my grandma made me when I was little. They look so gorgeous there, I never really thought of it as a storage solution.

I am generally against underbed storage. I forget what's there b/c I never see it and, as STLcolleen points out, it's bad feng shui.

I have the CB2 carafe and love it. It keeps dust out of bedside water and, like a small vase of flowers, makes the bedside table feel thoughtfully decorated.

At $207, are they veneer?

I made a similar group of exquisite little terrariums, but they all developed mold growth after about three weeks. Pretty gross.

I had some pet portraits made as a gift by Miss Crowland on Etsy. SO much better than trying to do them myself.
