TeamSugar member PipeePoodle has shared some photos of her converted warehouse building apartment, and sounded off, "My apartment is boring me to death!" She cites one of her problems as the open space, but personally I think it's an asset. She also said, "I really need some curtains on my windows, but as you can see, they are about 15 feet high. Add on the distance to the floor and you've got an impossible task." And, she's considering painting and stenciling her cool retro tables.

To swank up your toilet room this month, why not try this Peony Jar ($55)? Wheel thrown, incised, and hand painted, this porcelain jar is perfect for bathroom items on a vanity. The black and white pattern will complement a variety of color palettes while adding a touch of contemporary elegance to your space, while the peonies will add a romantic flair. You could hide all sorts of bathroom essentials in here — tissues, cotton balls, even condoms.

If I could bring myself to drop a hundred smackers on a piece of fabric, the India Rose Freedonia Shower Curtain ($97) would be arriving at my doorstep in five to ten days. And then I'd purchase last Monday's Steal of the Day to go with it, and maybe this wastebasket. But seeing as I already have a shower curtain, and my eyes are on a laundry list of other prizes, I'll just restrain myself and keep saving my pennies. Or maybe I'll sew my own crave worthy shower curtain . . . then you'll be the ones drooling.

These Esther Derkx Improved Crockery Platters ($45) are from Esther Derkx, who screenprints quirky images onto vintage dishware. Esther completes this task with such skill that you'd swear those images were always meant to be paired. Her retro images of gymnasts, divers, and dancers give old crockery a flirty lift. These are one of a kind, so while you'll never have a matched set, why would you want to, with such an amazing variety of images to pick from? Best yet, if you prefer a specific style or pattern, you can request it and she'll do her best to accommodate you.

When a gigantic, 1.7-mile wide tornado barreled through Kansas last May, it zeroed in on the town of Greensburg. Whipping its way down Main Street, the tornado virtually destroyed the town while killing 11 of its 1,400 citizens. The town is still struggling to rebuild, but hopes are high. Greensburg plans to rebuild itself as an example of small-town green living.

In an interview with Plenty, Daniel Wallach, director of Greensburg Greentown, said “I see us as being kind of a living science museum. People are going to be able to come from around the country and see a model community of the future, and in a scale that you can’t do in a big city.”
