If shipping is an option, you might try Couch in Seattle. It was covered on AT earlier this month. http://ecocouch.wordpress.com/

Ditto, DianneS's mom. I don't have a lawn any more (all garden/landscaping). I rake them off the sidewalk and street and put them on the flower beds and around the trees themselves. They break down...

I just painted my bedroom in flat finish Natura. It went on smoothly and only one coat was needed.

I too feel like this will soon be dated. I'd rather have a traditional, realistic style, but let the styling cues of the subject, the body language and background modernize it.

They're cute, but are awfully literal. They make me think of a themed restaurant.

Very smart. Love the new paint colors as well.

It seems like more of a one-off party decoration.

But of course, count me in.

As others have said, landscaping would make a huge difference. You could break up the garage wall with an arbor that ran over the doors and protruded 24" or so. Then grow jasmine, wisteria, climbin...

Lighter fluid (not green) or a hairdryer work as well.

That's cool. I'm curious why you dry fit the chair first if you were trying to get the paint in the cracks. Why not paint the pieces first?

I don't want to live in a lab.

A deco veneer dresser that was the first piece of adult furniture I bought after college. I still love and use it.

Christmas in Killarney by the Irish Rovers. (With lots of Nat King Cole in rotation.) Red would be awesome.

If you don't want a taught, tailored fabric wall, you could also run a length of thin aircraft cable from corner to corner (using eye hooks and a turnbuckle to make it taught) and get inexpensive c...

Janbrady, if you use a plywood board with a metal bed frame, remember to support the middle of the board somehow or your mattress will definitely sag, and the board may break. Plywood generally com...
