Do You Hide an Extra Set of Keys?

While it's not recommended to hide an extra set of keys around your house, it seems as if most of us do. Do you or don't you?

Do You Hide an Extra Set of Keys?

Yes, I have a hidden set of keys at my house.

Do You Have a Dress Form?

A dress form can be a quirky design accessory, and if you're crafty, it's helpful too. I just bought this 1920s-era dress form from a friend, and I am absolutely in love with it. If you don't have room for an actual dress form, you can get the next best thing with Ballard Designs Laundry Room Prints ($49-89). Whether it's for sewing or just for show, do you own a dress form?

Do You Have a Dress Form?

Yes, and I use it to make clothes.

Yes, but it's just for decoration.

No, but I would decorate with one.

Nah, not my thing.

Love It or Hate It? "The Bed" Art Installation

Artist Will Ryman's installation "The Bed," which is displayed at the Saatchi Gallery in London, is the type of super-sized bachelor pad scene I'd never want to see in real life. Still, as an art installation, it's compelling. Are you a fan? Source

Does Your Car Stay in a Garage in the Winter?

casasugar — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 11:00:58 -0800

When January temperatures dip below zero, sometimes it's hard to get your vehicle started, especially if you keep it outside. Keeping your car in a garage overnight is often your best bet for ensuring it will start easily in the morning. Do you keep your car in a garage at your home? Source

Does Your Car Stay in a Garage in the Winter?

I keep my car in a garage at my house.

I used to have a garage, but not in this house.

I've never had a garage.

Love It or Hate It? Collapsible Stool

casasugar — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 11:00:45 -0800

According to David Ngo, the designer behind the Jacob's Stool, it is "designed to maximize the user's living space and bring added aesthetics to the room." The stool's legs collapse, and then it can be hung on the wall by its fabric hinges as a piece of art. I think it's an innovative solution for small-space living. What about you? Source

Do You Have Silhouettes in Your House?

casasugar — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 08:30:26 -0800

The word silhouette comes from Etienne de Silhouette, an 18th French finance minister who was known for his tightfisted economic standards. It was used with the art form because before photography, silhouette profiles cut from black card were the cheapest way to record a person's appearance. Today, silhouettes are a trend in interior design, not used out of financial necessity, and often painted rather than cut. Do you have any?

Do You Have Silhouettes in Your House?

Yes — I have one or several silhouettes.

No, but I want one!

No, not my style.

The CB2 Man Tootbrush Holder ($3.95) is certainly clever, but I don't know if I'd want to suction this little fellow to my bathroom wall. Would you?

While some prefer the modern doorbell, others go for a more traditional door knocker, such as this Williams-Sonoma Lion Door Knocker ($195). What do you have at your home?

Is Your Bookshelf Color Coordinated?

casasugar — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 12:00:30 -0800

Last year, I arranged my bookshelves by color, and I think this small change made a major difference in the study. While I'd be dismayed if my local library tried to arrange books in this manner, I do think that it works for smaller home collections. Doesn't it look stunning in this Scandinavian study? Source

Is Your Bookshelf Color Coordinated?

Yes, and I love it.

I used to, but I've switched it up.

I still plan on doing so.

No, it's not for me.
