I'm moving into a tiny 1 bedrooms apartment in a few weeks and I'm still trying to decide what to do about a bed. I was going to take my twin bed from my parents house but this bed is very heavy and I'll live up on the third floor with winding stairs that are a pain. Has anyone used an air mattress before as their main bed? What brands are the best to get? I'm looking into any that are fairly inexpensive yet durable ( I have a cat so I'll need one that's pretty puncture resistant). I'm only going to live at this apt for about 6 months so I'm thinking this might be my best bet.

posted my room here:  community.livejournal.com/ourbedrooms/1791694.html

the pics in the above post will let you sort of see how my room is layed out at the moment.

Happy Friday everyone! This is the last Salon post of the year. Next time we'll ask for your Saucy Resolutions, once again!

First, we want to see your refrigerator decorations!

Second, we'd like for everyone to take some time and review the Salon posts from the past year.

The Saucy Salon

It is our goal that these become your inspiration posts. If you have anything to contribute to them since they were originally posted, we'd love to hear from you! It's never to late to add to a post. That said, we'd like to make this the official post where you can make salon subject requests. I'll link back to this thread in future posts. :)

Show Us Your...Salon Requests!

Have fun and bon weekend.

I typed this all out then accidentally submitted it, then hit back in the process and it got lost I guess. D: Anywho, I'll do it again.

Where are places where I can get these drawers? I've seen them in various colors and I don't like the zipper ones at Ikea.

I'm planning on getting this, and that's what I need them for. Also, is that the storage unit I should get? Or should I get it from somewhere other than Ikea?

Any suggestions are appreciated <3 thanks so much! (I hope this post all makes sense I'm in a hurry!)

This is a post for people who haven't received their gift yet. Anyone else out there who hasn't gotten theirs yet?

Also, I want this, or something like it. Is Ikea the best place to get this? Where else should I look?

Thanks so much. We're moving soon and I'm looking to update and functionalize. :D This community is wonderful.

discuss your study habits, do you pull all-nighters, whatever

edit: thank you all!! so glad i turned to indiefucks in desperation

I'm so excited about my latest find!

I just got back from thrifting. I saw a nice blue tote, and thought to myself, this would be a good tote to carry over the holidays. I'll be travelling and visiting family and friends, and it's nice to have a big tote to throw everything in. Weighing into my decision was that I thought the tote looked exceptionally well-constructed, and possibly expensive. I knew I had heard the brand name before, but couldn't quite place it. In any event, the tote cost $6.99, which I figured was OK, plus I got a 25% discount for being affiliated with a university, so the bag cost a little over $5.

Well, I got home, fired up the Google machine, and realized that I had scored a brand new $485 handbag.

WOW.

(Yes, this is the same thrift store I got the Syracuse China at!)

What are you eating for dinner? I'm at work, and can't figure out what the fuck to get on my break. HALP!

My friend loaned me her dressmaker's mannequin while she's in between houses. It's opened up a whole lotta possibilities...

Here are some new items picked up at my favourite local haunts: Salvation Army, and Raspberry Beret, Wakefield, MA.
