Fried okra is best.
But whole okra, steamed tender/crisp is delicious. Speaking in generalities---use okra about the size of a woman's ring finger. Larger is NOT better. Do not boil, d...
Certainly you can paint the wainscot and wall above it white. You might want to choose a creamy white, not bright white though. For a touch of whimsy, you could replace that molding around the wind...
The photos are---of course---utterly charming. But schools are so highly scheduled, I can see where they might pass on this somewhat disruptive technique, which would probably take twice as long to...
Not everyone "decorates" all at once. Given the very nature of this wall of glass cabinetry, I suspect the owners are being quite deliberate in selecting what they want to display.
I love it. In fact, in my 15 year-old un-built, self-drawn house plans (which probably will never be built), I created a similar wall in-between my dining room and kitchen. I plan to store my mothe...
I once lived in an apartment with a beautiful FAKE fireplace. I asked the property manager why they would waste precious wall and floor space, money, and time installing FAKE fireplaces. She had no...
Wooden, circa 1935. I have lived in a house with "hard" floors---stone, ceramic, concrete---and I will never do it again. (In fact, I think any kitchen designer who suggests rock-hard flooring like...
Dear Desperate :) You will be ok. You just have to think about vertical space instead of horizontal space.
I suggest investing in a free standing 4ft wide by 5 or 6 ft tall open...
Yes, just like in the photo, please :) I prefer thinner, cake-like brownies to the thick fudgy kind---more chewy, less gooey. And strawberry jam is a divine topping, although my family prefers Her...

I love the first chair---Sara---but I'd never be able to get out of it.
I used to make aftershave for my husband and friends.
I would never buy paint based on the name, but I would like a one-on-one meeting with anyone who wants to use "taupe" in a color description.

I went back and read the first two post. Very nicely done.

I want one.
My mother did this in the mid-50s. She would serve the frozen banana "ice cream" on top of hot gingerbread, and was it wonderful.
