There’s no question that many of our East Coast readers are holed up somewhere warm and dry right now and are planning on staying close to home, at least for the next day or so. Thanks to the storm and the likelihood of a weather-related day off (SNOW DAY!!!) for the school kids, many people are going to be stuck in…on a Tuesday. Here are some things to do around the house to keep you busy and make your home a happier place:

It was actually my boyfriend who picked out our temporary apartment in midtown Manhattan — at the time I was still living in Amsterdam. Unfortunately, I did not have the time to fly to New York by the time he moved in, in order to help him out. Hence, I had to order most of the necessary furniture online and have it delivered to an apartment I hadn’t even seen yet which was a bit of a challenge and risk. The other challenge was our budget; we only had about $3000 to furnish the 2 bedrooms and a living room.

Guerra steered clear of kitschy, sad cat lady clichés and turned it into a welcoming, comfortable feline/human hangout.
If you’ve got a coffee table with a low shelf, you might already have tucked some stylish or useful items under the main surface for storage. But don’t neglect this spot for stuff if your coffee table is shelf-less! This little spot of floor space might be small, but it’s not insubstantial.

I may be short on pet submissions this week (come on folks — send me pets on furniture photos! kim[at]desiretoinspire[dot]net), but I have something to make up for the lack of a pet post. Some stunning interior eye candy photographed by British duo Tim Brotherton and Katie Lock. Now if you will excuse me, I am going to hop into the photo above, light a fire and flop on the sofa for the remainder of the morning.
