Etsy Find: Decorative Adhesive Labels
For those of you who don't find organizing traditionally fun, I bring you Remake Decorative Adhesive Labels ($5 for 16). Filing away your utility bills? Organizing your pantry?
Casa Quickie: Sayonara Adhesive Residue
Has the label on your brand new uterus vase left you with a sticky residue that's not so pretty? If you have one handy, you can scrape away the adhesive with a craft blade, but that could potentially scuff up your fab new home accessory. A simpler solution, though, is to rub the residue with a cotton ball soaked in nail polish remover or rubbing alcohol.

How-To: Make Your Own All-Purpose Cleaner
It's not always easy being green — or clean. Combining the two can be downright impossible, but making your own products can cut chemicals, crud, and cost. I simplify things even more by using one all-purpose cleanser nearly everywhere in my pad.
Desire/Acquire: Eames La Chaise
It's no secret that I adore most everything, OK everything, that has the Eames label attached to it. Unfortunately, I can't afford one bit of it . .
Desire/Acquire: Eames Walnut Stool
Charles and Ray Eames have won over my heart but not necessarily my paycheck. Even still, I've had my eye on the duo's iconic Walnut Stools ($829) from the day I spotted them in the corner at Room & Board. Originally made in 1960 for the Time Life Building in New York, the steep price tag is more reflective of modern times.
Etsy Finds: Marching Right Along
Left, right, left. When the third month of the year hits, many minds start seeing green and thinking of clovers, but I can't help but drift to the literal side of the label. Are you equally charmed by all things marching?
Home Away From Home: Maison Moschino
Italian fashion house Moschino is testing out its style skills in the wonderful world of interiors with its brand new Maison Moschino hotel in Milan. Set in an 1840 neoclassical building and former train station, the hotel was designed by the label's creative director, Rossella Jardini, along with its art director Jo Ann Tan, and fully restored with respect to its original façade.
Much like Moschino's apparel, the interiors have a fanciful, surrealistic quality that just toes the line at fantastical.
Casa Quickie: Sayonara Stickies
If you've got stubborn adhesive labels on any of your home purchases (bottles, plates, books, etc.) or gifts, there's a simple way to remove them that doesn't involve picking at them with sticky fingers. Just blast your hair dryer onto the label for a few seconds, and then use a basic craft blade to scrape it off. The heat from the dryer will loosen up the adhesive, making it a cinch to peel off the label.

When Was the Last Time You Moved?
Moving is one of my least favorite activities, and I'm happy to say that, unless we sell our house, I won't have to move again for many years. One great organizing tip that I always employ when moving is to clearly label boxes by room; it makes a huge difference in terms of time and stress when you get to your new home. Of course, the upside to all of the hassles of moving is getting to decorate an entirely new home!
