Ooh, I love the ones in #3. Anyone know who makes them?

Don't forget Arty at 640 S. Main in LA. The canary suicides are amazing.

I say take some close-to-life-sized pictures of yourself, or someone else, or even an animal, frame them, and secure a tie around the "neck" of each picture. A vignette of them would look neat in ...

It's a great idea, but I know I would reach for the handle from just the wrong angle (likely during a hazy water run in the middle of the night) and accidentally drag my fingernails across it... ma...

I would worry about the bamboo or cork scratching due to the dog... aren't they relatively soft?

A friend's father makes wine bottle accent lighting with his bottles. He drills a hole on the side, at the bottom of the bottle, then inserts an entire string of christmas lights through the hole....

I like those little tarts, and you can make your own from your favorite scented candles when the wick bites the dust. They never (or rarely ever) melt into oblivion, and if you get sick of the sce...

I did this on a large wall to camouflage the horridly-done drywall seams. I used a dark, peacock color as the base, then taped off the stripes at random intervals and widths. Using spackle, I cre...

Try a couple Billy bookcases side-by-side or perched on a sideways narrow Expedit.

Any ideas for outdoor spaces that are exceedingly windy? We can't do a whole lot of decorating because of the imminent gusts of wind that destroy it all.

I moved my boyfriend's entire apartment across a cobblestone courtyard and into a new apartment using only one of those folding wire granny carts (with one of the wheels held on with a pipe cleaner...

My dad had a chair just like that since before I was born - I don't think it survived the last move. He loved that thing, and I have so many sensory memories associated with it - how it smelled, t...

If only I had that much wine to store...

Maybe move the stairclimber so it's parallel to the window/glass doors, then hide it with a folding screen - although you probably have it where you do so you can watch TV while you climb... if it...

I have the same problem, Pigletliver. We decided to paint a couple accent walls in very bold colors, and now we're trying to get our hands on some oversized artwork. Normal-sized framed pictures ...

I like my countertops so much, I don't want to put stuff on them!

I, too, love the Thomas O'Brien towels. We had to replace all our brown ones with white ones, though... some mystery product we were using managed to put big pink bleached stains all over them! T...

Maybe I let too little or too much paint dry on the teflon, but I ended up scraping off tiny bits of paint with my fingernails for about an hour. And it has these little metal legs that can do a ...

Susmita: Look around your apartment and find something that you really love and look at the colors. It could be a pillow, a book cover, a piece of fruit, a photograph, a piece of clothing... brin...

We sleep with it closed... at night we turn down the heat in the rest of the apt. and use a small space heater to keep the bedroom at a reasonable temperature (about 67). Plus, the h...
