This set of 6 chairs is awesome and for sale now on Craigslist: Dining Chairs.  They look like a modern version of Windsor chairs with a George Nakashima feel to them.

This rabbit is deranged and scares the children.  The Philadelphia Sixers have a good thing going.  They beat the Clippers tonight (I was there to witness it) and they aren’t named the Eagles. However, the otherwise family-friendly event that even boasts almost naked booty bumping at ever time-out, needs to get rid of Hip Hop, [...]

Baby, it’s cold outside and I’m starting to freeze.  With the cost of electricity at an all time high, I’m hesitant to turn on the heat.  I’m trying to save money anywhere I can, so I took it to the web to find the answer to the popular question: Do portable space heaters save money? [...]

I recently purchased this vanity off of Craigslist for $30.  It needed a LOT of work and I wasn’t sure if I knew what I was getting into.  But, after a few weeks of sitting sadly in my bedroom, I couldn’t ignore the sad vanity anymore.  It was time for a face-lift. With an electric [...]

One of my favorite sites, Apartment Therapy, often runs a series called Scavenger in which they publish great finds on Craigslist.  Well, unfortunately, they do not include the city of Philadelphia in their series.  This is where I come in.  I often scour the “for sale” pages of the site searching for that next great [...]

Word on the street is that Dim Sum Garden Chinese restaurant is AMAZING!  I have not had the pleasure to try it out yet, but if anyone has, please let me know how it is.  Apparently the dumplings are out of this world.  I was also advised to ignore the rinky-dink exterior…it has no effect [...]

I’m probably not allowed to keep this image up for long, and I’ll take it down if I ever get any trouble, but I’d just like to point out how hip and retro the wallpaper is in this scene of Disney’s Meet the Robinson. It’s 50′s Danish modern meets 21st century cartoon and I think [...]

If you adore Artemide’s lighting like I do, then you might be willing to make the drive next weekend to Long Island, NY for the Artemide Warehouse Sale.  The website is pretty vague and does not let on to which items will be on sale. But “80% off” is certainly up my alley and maybe [...]

Let’s get one thing straight: I hate salads.  They taste like grass (or what I’d imagine grass to taste like) and there’s nothing to them.  I don’t mind the veggies/cheese/meats that traditionally go on them and usually find myself picking around the green stuff. But then I stumbled upon the most delicious dressing at Whole [...]
