well, there's nothing like casually flipping through AT chicago while eating dinner and suddenly seeing your own place!

thanks, sarah :^)

HOWEVER, we didn't transform a beautiful old barn .. we made one from scratch. we designed this barn house and built it new just a few years ago. i'm very happy you mistook it for the real thing, though, as that was our intention!

i should add -- we went in & out of the doors frequently with blinds both up & down and had no problem with them. they were very heavy, didn't move around, and blocked a lot of light.

we had roller blinds custom made by smith & noble, fabric on the front, cream-colored on the back, so they blended with the door and were very unobstrusive when up (showing the view), yet very pretty and decorative when down (showing the fabric panels).

it's not that easy to make a pinecone wreath, especially so symmetrically!

katedet, i have seen that style of soap dish several times at TJ Maxx, but their items change regularly, so your mileage may vary.

mjoe, pottery barn teen has an accordion lamp that is wall-mounted and another task lamp that doesn't seem to come out as far but is more maneuverable:

slinky dog really works, dude. you pull along the front half and eventually, due to scientific reasons, the back half hurries to catch up.

binxie, here's what i don't understand — "i can't tell if this is cute." i certainly understand asking if it's a knock-off or an original. but "is this cute?" is asking for someone else's subjective opinion of something about which only *your* subjective opinion matters. if you think it's cute, but you only want to spend the money if it's authentic, okay.

it's the quirky personal choices that make interiors interesting. (just like fashion ;^) i just wanted to encourage tara to prioritize about her own opinion of cute vs. not cute.

I don't understand the statement "I don't know if it's cute." I agree with Patrick. If *you* like it, get it!

okay, obviously you all beat me to it, but i want to chime in:

cheerios. fruit loops. please, please, people who are willing to spend $8.99 plus tax for 30 of these, send me your money. and for that matter, send me the rest of your money; i'm starting a hedge fund for idiots.

Quik Pod -- $24.99 plus tax, plus shipping.

Balancing your camera on a rock, fence, or picnic table, then dashing back to beat the timer -- priceless.

i love my aeron chair. my previous chair gave me a numb posterior after several hours at the desk. i bought my aeron in the 90s and it's still in perfect shape, and i never get up after a 13-hour work session feeling like i've been bent, folded, and spindled.

union, is it possible you need a different size to avoid the pressure point issue?
