Beautiful place! Great style.

Saw it for sale at Room & Board a while back, but it's not on their website anymore.

Actually, she doesn't give away any information at all. Set designers tend to jealously guard their sources. None of the suggestions she makes are for items or stores she actually used for the show...

I lived in France for years and am married to a Frenchwoman. We generally bring flowers when invited to someone's home, but also frequently bring a bottle of wine. Same for our French friends who v...

We have a Modernica Case Study Bed (which is actually a reproduction of a George Nelson design, by the way) in our daughter's room. It's great, and we used an IKEA mattress on it, which is very com...

You guys really have done a fantastic job on this place. Congratulations!

Yes, Arne Jacobsen designed faucets for Vola in 1961, and most of their more recent designs are variations on the same themes and design cues that he established. In this case, the colors are new, ...

Je suis très content de voir les films de Jacques Demy mentionnés ici - des chefs d'oeuvre pour le décor (ma femme adore les chansons aussi) ! Mais il faut aussi parler des cla...

Never get tired of the classic Unikko Red poppies.

We actually built a special cabinet into our bathroom that holds a cat litter box. It's ventilated with its own airshaft, too. We access it for cleaning by removing a panel from the cabinet in the ...

It seems to me that this game is hopelessly flawed because it can't take into consideration a lot of local factors, despite it asking where you're located. And it really doesn't do much more than t...

My score was fairly reasonable at around 2 Earths per person (it's all relative), but flying about 200 hours a year for work completely screws up my average.

I was going to suggest Grounded as another great garden store in Encinitas, too. I'm in San Diego and go there a lot. By the way, Grounded is not on E street anymore. They moved to the Lumber Yard ...

Thanks, btoddster. Appreciate the comments. That is Korean grass. It's fairly maintenance free, in that I don't have to mow it or anything, and there aren't many weeds. But it does creep so you hav...

Thanks. I looked it up, too. She was born and raised in San Diego, and went to USC School of Architecture. She moved to Missouri to follow her husband in 1999.

Thanks for the tips, healthyhome!
