I saw the Tullsta at IKEA years ago and thought it was super cute. And then I sat on it. It LOOKS like one should just sink into the cushion, but instead it is hard! One of my favorite things to...

I set a date for a dinner party, invite everyone, and then I have a firm date by which to get projects done. I work better under pressure--I've always been the person who puts down the paint brush...

I was JUST thinking about getting a bonsai for my husband! This must be a sign!

@gallupgirrl: YES! Me too! I would love to have a tutorial about how to outfit a linen closet with MDF shelves. I just bought my first circular saw, and I want to use that beast!

The Phillip Jeffries wallpaper and the Spitzmiller lamp are amazing! I like the look of this apartment and would gladly live in it; BUT--it's just not homey enough for me! It looks l...

My husband and I have had our IKEA latex mattress for about 2-1/2 years and it's starting to be a bit uncomfortable for me. My husband still loves it and we can't afford to replace it right now, s...

My husband (who has a beautiful, but unusual, name himself) wanted something classic (and a little bit tweedy) and I wanted something that would wear well from childhood to adulthood and that had n...

I saw the same MS display at Home Depot. I bought the dish liquid and it works great! My only problem with Mrs. Meyers is that the scents are overpowering to me (especially the gerani...

Beautiful. I love the bedroom with the mix of patterns. Great Job!

I love the smell of Dr. Bronner's (and the bottle, as mentioned previously), but the lavender dries me out like crazy! (I love the almond kind, though.) It's a really good toilet bowl cleaner, BT...
