The pitbulls in my neighborhood might want to lick you, but they sound like they want to eat your face off. That's probably enough to help scare away a would-be burglar.

Why not ask the kids? I think they are creepy and depressing but I don't know if that precludes them from hanging in a kids room.

We have a chocolate colored sofa with a thin-weil corduroy fabric, so its a total fur magnet. I cover the sofa in throw pillows at night, spaced with cat beds. They have no choice but to snooze in the beds when there are pillows covering the rest of the surface, so it mostly keeps the fur localized.

Love the opulence and understated girliness. Definitely one of my faves!

Very romantic. I was glad not to see an Eames Lounger for once :-) Seems like what an old apartment in New York should look like. Love the colors and all the mirrors.

My bedroom has windows on three wallss. N, W, and S. facing. It definitely helps to wake up to natural light, and since our windows are old (1924), I usually wake up to the sounds of the birds chirping or squirrels chattering in our back yard. And yeah, I love my bed and soft sheets too. A

@lady J, I assumed it somehow converted into a two-person bed or was adaptable to one, since the description says "Sofa, single bed, bed for two and storage in one piece of furniture." and recommends the foam or latex mattress if intended to be used as a double bed. It's hard to know without seeing it and the description and pictures aren't very helpful.

I never knew how much sound kept me from sleeping (always had a hard time falling asleep) until I lived on party-heavy street in Santa Barbara for college and started using ear plugs to block out the music, people, drunkards on school and work nights. I'd wake up in the morning amazed that I didn't even remember falling asleep it happened so quickly. I usually would pull the plugs out in the middle of the night, if they didn't fall out themselves, so missing an alarm was never an issue for me. I also like it to be very dark and very cool, with warm covers to control my temperature. Though, now that I've moved in with my boyfriend and our combined three cats, I can't remember a night when I didn't wake up at least once from some creature crawling on me or fighting for bed space and covers. It's worth it, I suppose, but sometimes I long for the days when I would lock my cat out of my room and have the bed to myself :-)

I've moved in and out of apartments and houses since college, and it never occurred to me to have a house-warming. This past August, my boyfriend and I bought our first house together, and mostly at the suggestion of family, we hosted a house-warming party a month after we moved in. We didn't register or ask for gifts, but of course they came. I wouldn't think of having such a party if we were to buy a new house someday, but there is something about "the first one" that makes it special and worth hosting your friends and family for.

I had one cat that wasn't allowed to sleep in my room at night until we moved in with my boyfriend and his two cats, who get to do whatever they want. Now they all three sleep in/on the bed with us, which leaves me kicking cats off the bed when they prowl around in the middle of the night or try to come too close to my face. If they just stayed at the foot, it'd be ok, though still restricting (I am a delicate sleeper ;-) The concessions we make for relationships...
