High and Wide Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Great movie! Have to watch it continuously though. I can't stand watching my favourite movies on TV with all the commercials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Yeah, normally annoys me too, but we're sitting down looking at items to add to our wedding registry, so it's just background noise at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High and Wide Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Crate & Barrel and Bed Bath and Beyond at the moment. I was just there two hours ago. Amazing the amount of stuff they have there. I typically don't care about that shit, but I was tempted to buy some stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Most guys don't, but that old adage of "happy wife, happy life" is nothing short of absolute truth. Chicks like linens and bamboo hamper baskets and decorative china and all sorts of things like them. My job is to simply help out where I have an opinion and pick a couple things to keep her happy. :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High and Wide Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Fair enough! I was looking at some stuff to organize my room. Right now it looks like a war-zone. Also looking at all of their kitchen supplies. When I have a house of my own, I have a feeling i'll be stocking all of that stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Just go to Staples for that, dude. Plenty of organizing options there. BB&B has options, too, but the stores are incredibly difficult to navigate. The place you really should go to for that kinda stuff though is The Container Store http://www.containerstore.com/welcome.htm> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High and Wide Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Thanks, I'll be looking to do that soon. Getting hard to find anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 My girlfriend and I both have a parent with some serious design and building skills and my girlfriend studied architecture and art for a while. I'm set, I'll just pick the TV. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 The Container Store literally exists for these kinds of things. It's nothing but organizational options for everything —*kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, office, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm set, I'll just pick the TV. :D Same for me. I'm more than capable of building my own furniture, but depending on the item it's often not worth the time, and living in an apartment prohibits me from doing large projects right now.

Yeah, it depends on where we will live and what we will need, but it's good to have some expertise around you and to have it yourself, because getting an advisor for stuff like this can get really expensive. My dream is to do a big project. Design and build our own house or completely renovate a unique house elsewhere or something. That kind of thing is so expensive in The Netherlands, you'd need millions of dollars to do that. The US housing market makes a bit more reasonable. Around here, you pay $150,000 for a 300ft square studio in one of the four big cities, if you are looking to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
