I live in Asheville, and always enjoy driving through Montford (as well as my own beautiful neighborhood of Grove Park). Oh, and I hope you finally made it to Nine Mile-- it's fabulous!

Anyone know where to find inexpensive Roman shades? I bought some Ikea Setaria shades from Ebay a few years ago, after Ikea discontinued them, but I can't even find them on Ebay anymore.

I got one right? Huh.

Ooh... I like romateamo's idea-- a library, with a comfy reading chair!

I have an oversized mirror that I'm afraid to hang up, due to its weight versus our plaster walls, so I've been considering standing it up against a wall, rather than storing it in the garage. Wha...

One of my cats has managed to tunnel through the bottom of my boxspring, and likes to nap up there. I guess I should be grateful that all four don't get up there...

Love the green painted typing table next to the front door-- I have one that I painted shiny red and use as a bedside table, and I've gotten all sorts of compliments on it.

I hit my closest Target here in Asheville, NC at opening on Sunday, and found a half-stocked endcap of linens, including a few sets of dish towels, an apron, and one set of cloth napkins. I asked ...

Clueless in Asheville, NC, too. I walked in a 8AM on the dot, and they had nothing. I asked, and was told that they can't tell me anything about when things are scheduled to come in.

I always try to put fresh sheets on the bed and leave no dirty dishes or mess. During my most recent trip, in December, my neighbor had to come in and pump water from my stopped up and leaking rad...

Thanks, closertotheocean-- I'll give it a try!

closertotheocean-- any idea how that concoction works for front-loading washers? When I bought mine, high-efficiency liquid detergent was recommended-- do you think adding water to make a liquid a...

Wow! That first kitchen is one hot mess.

To this day I love stale cake, because my parents used to bring home a piece of cake for me from weddings and parties, and I got to eat it for breakfast the next morning.

I voted yes, but then, I have a 6 foot tall metal giraffe in my front yard... http://www.flickr.com/photos/abraca...

We had an ant problem when the spring rains started at our old house, and we found cayenne pepper to be an awesome repellent. I made a paste of it with a little water, then spread it along the edg...

I've been making the mac and cheese recipe from the back of the Mueller's macaroni box for years, and it is to die for. My kids have had mac and cheese from probably dozens of restaurants (some fa...

I love the AT-AT-- my husband's going to be so happy to come home and find his on display! Also, my 10 year old daughter wants to know where you got the squirrel girl painting.

"Meatload?!?" Sorry, my inner 12 year old is laughing her head off!

I chose Obama's, since its style is similar to my house (but probably much bigger than my 1700sf).
