The best wedding I ever attended was for my husband's co-worker. They had a short, sweet ceremony, and then the most lavish seated reception I've ever seen. Each guest received a beautifully wrapped box of gifts that represented both the husband and the wife. I didn't really know anyone there, so I was free to relax and enjoy myself completely, without worrying that I forgot to say hi to an aunt or cousin. For dessert, they had an ice cream sundae bar, complete with all the toppings. I was seven months pregnant at the time, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself, without the pressure that comes with family weddings. Tell Us: The Best Wedding You've Ever Been To? |

With a lot of the weddings I've attended, the bride or couple moved to a new place after the wedding. When sending their gift before the wedding, I would mail it to the address on the invitation, and then never receive a thank you note. I can think of three different couples that left me wondering if they ever got their present from me, since I never got a thank you note. It's been years, and I still wonder if some other tenant took those sheets I sent to my cousin's fiance! Wedding Etiquette: 5 Rules to Keep and 5 to Toss |

Thank you for enabling the comments! I know this post is tongue-in-cheek, but it just doesn't jive with a site that features daily home tours of houses literally filled with stuff. I keep thinking of George Carlin's bit about "stuff." Apartment Therapy On Why Not To Date a Caveman |

Wow, this apartment is stunning! I love that the everyday things you use are displayed so lovingly, almost as decorations. And I also have to say that this post is so lovingly written, too. Carolyn, you did a great job capturing Meg and Andy's personalities and the feel of their home. Awesome tour, all the way around! Meg & Andy's Radical Possibilities House Tour |

I appreciate this post. There's an IKEA near us, and we rarely go there. I just can't get excited about their products, and shopping there is eerily similar to strolling through an airport. 10 Alternatives to Popular Kids IKEA Products |

Ha! My girlhood dreams are coming true. The top photo is just wrong for so many reasons, but I do love that shower curtain. And Louise is a cutie! How To: Decorate with Unicorns |

Definitely try to go on a weekday and get there when it opens. IKEA reminds me of an airport, and people walk so slowly through the showroom that it's hard to navigate. I go with a list, take the shortcuts, and don't spend time there. I find the experience suffocating. And I know for a fact that people take their children there when the weather is bad, because I've been invited to go. It's not a mall, but some people use it like one. 4 Tips for Getting In & Out of IKEA Faster |

Wow! What a lovely tour for the dreariness of January! I've been on the fence about adding some bolder patterns to my home, and you've inspired me to do it. This is a gorgeous house. Ruthie & Will's Eclectic Nashville Charmer House Tour |

I love this stuff, and I think I would stock up on it if I ever, heaven help me, move away from Texas. Love Your State: Texas Edition |

This tour was too short! Your apartment is gorgeous and you hoard beautiful pieces! I was intrigued with the rose tufted velvet cushions at the foot of the bed in the first picture. Are those chairs? Eva's Eclectic & Elegant Pad House Tour |

I LOVE pink and think all of these rooms are lovely. To me, blue is almost a neutral, and it is fun to see the two colors working so well together. There's nothing baby about these rooms at all. Pink and Blue, All Grown Up |

Definitely Etsy! I just use the boring old pillows that came with my sofa and buy new covers in the right sizes when I get bored. It's a great way to save money, and buying Etsy products means that they aren't the same as everyone else's. :) Sources for Similar Pillows? Good Questions |

I found a blue velvet tufted chair on Craigslist that is really retro and French-inspired at the same time. I put it in my bedroom and made a small reading nook, and it's now my favorite little spot in my house. This is a great post and the photo of the candles is so gorgeous.
