Thanks, Lucy! The red would definitely work. I'll have to drive over to Palo Alto to check them out. I've been looking at IKEA for some other ideas - I've been thinking about doing some sort of arc...
And while we're at it, everyone please go test your smoke detectors and your fire extinguishers today.

Thinking about it more, I think this is the attempt of the design world to re-invent the distressed look that came around 20 years ago.
How much of a slave are we to the 20 year desig...
It seems counter-intuitive, but I'd do a very dark gray. I agree with the poster that said it will make your cabinets pop. It would look fantastic with that tile backsplash, there's not a lot of wa...
I've got a DIY project I want to do - get a bunch of those cheap planters (12" or taller), connect them together base to base, paint the color desired, fill one half with concrete and the other hal...

Just because it's free, doesn't mean you have to take it. Aunt Betty may be getting rid of her overstuffed couch and complete blue bathroom rug set, but if it's in a wood tone or style that doesn'...
Cool, glad I could help. My daughter carries that chair with her everywhere. I find it up against the baby's crib, in the bathroom, in front of the computer with my chair haphazardly pushed to th...
Oooh oooh - just thought of another one - those ugly black metal "torchiere" floor lamps. You know, the kind you excitedly bought for your dorm room. Giving it a French name does not make it any ...

If it has a history of going off for faulty reasons, I would definitely replace the thing. Better safe than sorry!
Fan mail for an interior designer from children? That's the coolest thing I've heard all week! Awesome.
The site recommends that baby not be left unattended in the seat. Hmmm.....

I'd tweak it a bit to say that the next trend is not just hand-made, but home-made authentic. Think of the popularity of DIY projects.
I think it's a wonderful idea! I'd love to swap out some of my paintings. Off to do some research...

That's it, I'm never buying a house more than 5 years old!! Even if it means I have to rent for the rest of my life.
I have to share this picture with you, taken when the sun hit my mom's window just right... poor bird, but fascinating print...
