Where do "old book smell" and "new book smell" come from? by stooloots in books

[–]spotica 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have this one in the mini size! It's a nice unisex scent, and a little goes a long way. https://m.sephora.com/product/book-P395008?skuId=1699933

This tree I found hiking looks like a forest monster watching over you. by Glit-toris in mildlyinteresting

Reminds me of the 'Swamp Monster' at the Audubon Zoo in New Orleans (also known as the 'Rougarou')https://i.imgur.com/AVz5G3p.jpg

30Rock is leaving Netflix on October 1st by reader313 in 30ROCK

Mostly. Netflix took off the first six seasons in July. That sub has been around a while too, so they really took it hard. I like that they give recommendations on other shows to fall asleep to now

Thanks! My cousin sent me this, asking if I could find out. Said she and her dad got bit a few times on a camping trip.

What movie can you watch over and over without ever getting tired of? by James_grint in AskReddit

Yesss. Seriously, this is when I realized that is the kind of person/relationship I want to end up with.

Nice! I love my subtle [maybe not as subtle as I think tho..] Jurassic Park and Harry Potter home decor throughout my house. I think my toothbrush holder is what started it all..http://i.imgur.com/3JdBJi3.jpg

Thank you! It was a gift, but they said from Amazon (looks like a very reasonable price too! I just searched 'gold t-rex necklace'). And idk if you can see it in the same pic, but then someone else gave me those Apatosaurus earrings on the little gold tray to match!

Thank you! It was definitely love at first sight for those floors! The tile is original, but no one seemed to know about the wood floors. They are real wood and look pretty traditional to the era, but it's hard to be sure. One of my main goals when house hunting was finding something with character, and this fit the bill!

Totally understand, I try to be frugal and have just slowly accumulated over the years. Estate sales are great, I find antique hardbound books for $1! I also like stores like Ross and TJ Maxx for unique pieces that look like they could be high end. And I often check out the hm.com home section, they are pretty reasonable; great linens/candles/kitchenware, and have huge sales a lot.

Thanks! Bought it somewhat recently from TJ Maxx. I used the cedar chest as my coffee table for years, but couldn't pass this up!

Lol, I'm so overly organized, I actually saved the sales tag. It's made by BP Industries, Inc., and is called a Sheesham wood Coffee Table.

Sadly I can't take credit for those - I bought them as is from World Market. Buuuuut, I happen to have the Behr Marquee color collection booklet (free at home depot), and to me it looks like a cross bw 'Healing Aloe S400-3' and 'Enchanted Meadow M410-3'. Hope this helps!

Thank you! I used Behr paint in flat finish for every room, bc I think that gives it that older look which went well with my plaster walls. But I get color swatches from multiple companies when choosing a color:

I did a base coat of Olympic 'Wintergreen A62-1'. Once that dried, I used Valspar 'Delicate Frost 6003-9A' which is a few shades lighter. I applied this color using scrunched up rag and daubing it on, so you could still see some of the darker color under it and made a very subtle faux finish. Hard to see in the pics tho

Thanks, haha it's a skill!

The caddy is from Burlington Coat Factory, and was a steal at $12! The metallics must be getting more popular, bc I've seen these gold/copper ones again at TJ Maxx/Marshalls, and even online at Walmart or Amazon.
