    I love-love-love my Boby trolley! Pearl was closing out older models with a substantial discount, so I got a good-sized one for $63 and rescued my dining cubby from the current dollhouse-building project.

    I love the mouse pad couch.

    Wende-how do you use the trolley? I would spend $63 on one, but I don't know about $295.

    Pixie, I'll demonstrate. This fragment of extreme visual clutter is my workspace. Although the table is in use, the only things on it are the house (ignore the pinkness -- it's for a gift) and the trim that's drying. All the paint, scrapbook paper, ribbon, extra kit pieces, glue, and stuff are on the cart.

    This moody shot shows the various supplies being stowed on the side with the drawers:

    This moody shot shows that the long slots hold the umpteen pieces of plywood that make up a kit, and that used to be spread over the dining chairs:

    In theory, all this stuff already had a home in the foyer closet, but I never put things away when I was mid-project, so the dining cubby used to be completely over-run and rather frightening. It was discouraging just to try to find the table. Now an entire project can roll into the closet if I ever want to serve dinner.

    re:Design within Reach offer. You can find the same things elsewhere for less money and normal or no shipping charges. Design Within Reach sounds more like Design with Ripoff.

    I love the Reanim chair-leg prosthetic. Now I want to break some of my dining chairs...

    I really don't like the plastic chair-leg prosthetic thing. I don't know, I think I'd like it better if it was some ornate old carved wooden leg attached to a very mod chair. Or my dislike may be because I have a messed up leg myself and can't help but envision wobbling around on some bright plastic pegleg...
