We're on a historical brick rowhouse block (Philly), so it's just doors-window frames-shutters for painting. And yes, we looked a bit at our neighbor's door -- stopsign red, with white trim. We d...
In Philly, try calling your city councilperson's office (if you don't know who it is, check the city website), or the office of the at-large council members -- I've been really surprised how helpfu...
About the microwave option -- it filled our kitchen with sponge-stink! It was almost worth it for the look of WTF-incredulity from my wife.
Now I use a plastic bristle scrubby brush a...
Both my wife & I are both accumulators, but I'm also an organizer, and I put things away... she doesn't. I regularly have to go through her mail to throw out the junk mail. But I only do this aft...
I look at the sofa, and I think David Lynch -- but not in a bad way. Problem is, with that kind of aesthetic there are no half-measures. It would look really good centered on a blood-red wall.......
Cutting the plywood into "planks" is the way to go -- looks great! In the tutorial they say they nailed it down OVER the carpet -- hmmmm. But it would help with sound insulation.
I...
But ... there's nothing on the linked website on how the wines TASTE. Organic is great, but if it doesn't taste good at a decent price, I'd rather just go without.

That's fine if you're an artist who doesn't use solvents or dusty materials. I work with clay, and there's no way I would want to sleep in my studio....
But I do love that floor lamp!

When we were thinking of names for our twin boys, we used the "playground test" -- does it come with an undesireable nickname or rhyme? So Bart and Fer...
Some years back I'd piss in the kitchen sink occasionally late at night. And yes, I cleared the sink of dishes first and ran the tap. But then we built a first floor bathroom, so it's just not th...
msjessiemeghan -- First, tell your bf to stop whining, and that he gets his private studio when you get your private studio. (Jeez, talk about male entitlement!) In the meantime, divide the room ...
Great project, like the aesthetic. And it taught me something useful: plywood looks like plywood looks like plywood, no matter how much you tint & polyurethane it. If it were mine, I'd finish th...
Like your work -- and appreciate the way you integrate it into your living space without letting it overwhelm and clutter things up. Would enjoy seeing a pic of your studio -- not cleaned up, but ...
A fully-realized vision -- but of what? Its staged-ness makes me think of an ominous intro sequence from David Lynch. If it really was grandma's house, it would be fine. As a deliberate reenactm...
The egg picture is great -- but they're underdone. My wife was boiling eggs and forgot them while cleaning upstairs prior to a party. I ask, are you roasting something already? Her eyes get real...
I would hang them on a string pulled taut across a room (or along a wall), high enough so they're out of the way. Measure the distance, count the ornaments and figure out the spacing, and tie a se...
For a painter, neutrality of background is a lot about seeing the colors of a painting rather than the color of the wall behind it (or the reflected light from the wall). That is, IF the painter i...

What? You mean "silvercoating" your roof? Row house dwellers have been doing it for ages. Still, a good idea.
