I’m obessed with all furniture with the word apothecary in it. I ran across this set that someone on Polyvore created. I don’t know what I would do with all of those little drawers; probably put cd’s in them or something but I’d figure it out.

Rory & Logan
I’m not a huge Rory and Logan fan. They are my least favorite Gilmore Girls couple. However, I really do admire a lot of how they actually look. They are a very cute couple. Are you pro Rory & Logan?

Inside HGTV
I highly suspect that this is the way that HGTV choses & names it’s shows.
1. First they think of a cool title & then create a show around it. Even if the title is stupid. Even if the show shouldn’t be on TV. Case in point: Blog Cabin. Yes there is a show where they build a log cabin based on designs from a blog. I’m sure this idea was hatched because someone in the break room said “Log cabin? Isn’t that like a blog cabin?” It wasn’t funny then, & it isn’t funny now.
2. HGTV they love their puns. I’m sure that they do so many complete kitchen remodels just so they can say “We got rid of everything & the kitchen sink.”
3. Most of the rooms lately seem to be painted green just so they can joke about being environmentally friendly.
I love HGTV but I liked it a lot better before they got all punny.

Whatever happened to glass coffee tables?
I was just browsing through craigslist & I saw an awesome cherry coffee table for $20. It would easily retail for a few hundred dollars in a furniture store. However, I didn’t buy it, which is unlike me.
I like a coffee table that I can put my feet on. Judging from the low price, so do other people. It seemed like when I was a kid everyone had a glass coffee table. I hated it because I was a kid & couldn’t touch anything. Really, a glass coffee table just seems to take up space. Yes, you can put drinks on it, but that’s about it. Plus, you have to clean the glass & what is the fun in that.

Is design remix real?
I miss the days when the HGTV show Design Remix was on everyday. I can still find reruns & new episodes on early in the morning or on Saturdays. The premise is that the design show comes in & just reuses everything hiding in closets or the garage to redo a room. They have a $50 budget & some paint. The results are fantastic.
There has been some controversy on whether this show “stocks” the garages beforehand. People always seem to have gorgeous bolts of silk fabric even though they don’t sew. However, I was just watching an episode where Karen couldn’t find a lot of materials so she had to go over budget. I guess that means that Design Remix is real.
