I found this sideboard on eBay a few weeks ago and I’ve decided it’s pretty much the most gorgeous piece of furniture ever. $2550 is a bit steep, but in reality, for the condition and quality of the furniture it’s probably quite appropriate. Cheers to that bidder… I’m filing it in my “remember this” [...]
Got this new FORLIFE brew-in-mug teaware last week in Austin and I’ve been using it every night with some herbal tea. Loose tea is sexier than bagged tea. Even when all you do is cut open the bag…
While normally I’m pretty good about finishing projects that I start, my knitting projects seem to suffer the most from lack of sustaining enthusiasm. This sweater took me 8 months or so to complete, but I would argue that no one can be expected to knit wool sweaters in the summer so those months don’t [...]
I ordered a bunch of FLOR samples to help me decide about the rug for the living room. The final rug choice turned out pretty well (I think) and today I put those samples to good use… Cat litter mat and a door mat!
Remember how I was bored with my light-colored wood veneer shelving units? Well, my family talked me out of my crazy idea to paint them and a few hours of Apartment Therapy browsing gave me the idea to cover the shelves with wood-grain contact paper.

So, after some Apartment Therapy [...]
I’m itching to buy furniture again. I sold my table and chairs because we never used them, and now I’m contemplating a pair of chairs. While Ikea appeals to my wallet, I’m lusting after this chair from Room & Board…
Naturally, I wouldn’t order it in that color. I’ll give you one guess which color I’d [...]
Did you know that this is the best chapstick in the entire world? (Sneaking in just above Burt’s Bees).
Ayurvedic Lip Therapy, Cardamom 0.15oz Stick by Better Botanicals.
I’m a sucker for marketing apparently. Show me a uniquely shaped bottle of bottled water and I will buy the water – despite really believing that bottled water is wasteful.
It started with Fiji. The chunky boxy shape lured me in. It seemed so much cooler than your average Poland Spring or Evian.
Then [...]
I am obsessed with this chapstick. I basically have to have it with me at all times. I recently put my only stick through the washing machine and dryer and I had to go to Framingham that day to buy a new one at Whole Foods Market. If you have chapped lips, or are just [...]
