Homegoods my go-to source for plain bedding like this... the selection can be limited & you won't find your same items a few months (or weeks) later, but always has great prices. Apartment Therapy Chicago \| Cotton & Wool Blankets Under $50 Flag this comment	9/2/09 10:15 AM
I made a simple stencil & did the entryway in our last apartment & loved the result... in case anyone is interested: http://withflourish.blogspot.com/2008/10/fauxpaper-aka-fun-with-stencils.html It actually went fairly quickly (my husband even helped, and he is not artistic). I could see all the imperfections (which helped to add to the charm, I think, but friends couldnt believe that it wasnt wallpaper! :) Apartment Therapy Chicago \| Stenciled Walls Flag this comment	3/26/09 10:57 AM
Just a note about Melatonin... while it has been known to help people sleep, it also can have a side effect of creating/ worsening depression symptoms. We tried it for a while and though did sleep better, both just felt so sad & kind of lifeless... side effects went away once we stopped the Melatonin. Some people have lots of luck with it, but just a reminder that you should listen to your body when taking any kind of supplement! :) Apartment Therapy Los Angeles \| The Power of Scents To Help You Fall Asleep Flag this comment	1/23/09 11:34 AM
I have the West Elm one (actually, have 2) & really like it... the wire 'arms' can all be bent at differing angles away from the wall/center spoke, which gives it a nice 3D feel and the mirrors catch the light well (not the worn/ antiqued effect seen on some). Have had them for several years & they've held up well... and the price is great! :) Apartment Therapy Chicago \| High and Low Raindrop Mirror Flag this comment	1/8/09 10:05 AM

While in Jamaica for a friend's wedding last November, we stayed at Tensing Pen- also very nice, but only some of the 'huts' have air conditioning, so be careful when booking! We had dinner one night at Rockhouse (& the bride and groom stayed there for their honeymoon) and it was great! A good mix of rustic Jamaican charm without feeling like you're completely roughing it.

An interesting idea would be to take the recycling idea one step further... use the plastic bags you've already got as the fabric for a bag you sew. Instructions on how to make 'fabric' out of plastic bags can be found here: http://etsylabs.blogspot.com/2007/05/long-overdue-fusing-plastic-bag.html Apartment Therapy - How To: Make a Reusable Grocery Bag Flag this comment	10/10/07 3:37 PM
Another great company is First Class Moving & Storage: http://www.1stclassmovers.com/ We first heard about them through a co-worker (whose brother is one of the owners) & between friends and myself I know of at least 10 successful moves (I'm one of those new-apartment-every-year people) using them. One year we tried a 'cheaper' company and paid dearly for it - they were late and slow and of course ended up being more expensive! They always show up on time, wrap everything well (I've never had any items damaged), and are FAST! They'll give you recommendations on number of movers needed & things to do to minimize packing materials costs. Highly recommended!
