Now I'm debating about the end table (in previous post with the before pictures)...suggestions? Glossy black? Glossy white? Ebony? It's solid wood...no idea what kind, though.

Even more unrelated - on the not-design blog I have an entire post dedicated to Pomegranates, which I love. And one for fashion. I updated my weardrobe account this weekend, too.

And weardrobe is a great source to help keep it all organized. Happy shopping!

EDIT: I've fixed the broken link to weardrobe.com. Sorry about that!
