Exactly, Aychihuahua. The before didn't look remotely "warm". It just looked tired and dated and dull. A set of design cliches from an earlier time (which I hated when they were contemporary a couple of decades ago, and which haven't improved any with age).

What a crap design! Why not pass thru both electrical outlets, and put 2 or even 4 USB slots on the sides of the adapter? It's more than thick enough. RCA's "Best of Innovation" USB Wall Plate Charger CES 2012 |

I'm not a fan of Bose products in general, and this little thing is pretty spendy for what you get, but it does sound alright, plays pretty loud and is beautifully designed. Might be a good choice if you really, really need something that portable.

Keep in mind that dark roux don't thicken as well as lighter roux, so you need to use more of them - sometimes a lot more - and they can overpower the somewhat delicate flavor of turkey. I'd go with a pale golden roux for turkey gravy. How to Make a Quick Turkey Gravy Thanksgiving Basics |

Too many finishes. Should have maybe alternated between two, or stained the small drawers with a different tone than the larger drawers... Before & After: Battered Dresser Goes from Drab to Fab 551 East Furniture Design |
