I've always wondered why SoCal and the desert-y parts of Western US weren't 75% solar powered for heating and energy. Money and politics I suppose...but seeing something rational like this in Hawa...

How about a variation from WestElm? Perhaps you could find a glossy white tray for the stand they show here? http://tinyurl.com/4wecbr

Go to some of those paint sites and approximately match the red and blue as two paint swatches as see what color combos they give you. Behr does this... I think you're going to have t...

When I buy nicer bread bread, I store it in the paper bag it came in and then in a plastic bag (left open). It works pretty good for the most part.

I think the biggest inital "problem" you will have is how your camel sofa will look on the wood floors (close to the same color). You will probably want a rug which could be the opport...

I sorely miss POMPELMO (Grapefruit) - Trader Joes discontinued it. I've tried Hansen's Grapefruit but it just aint' the same. Any suggestions?

Here's a slightly off-the wall idea... Paint the bottom cabinet white (to match the appliances). Might provide a more cohesive look. Then paint the upper cabinets whateve...

Frigoverre is a brand of container that I really like. They are glass with plastic lids that stay on very well - no fear of leaks. They make some small square ones that I use to transport lunch/s...

I'd argue that French cuisine would be one of the hardest cuisines for a newbie to attempt improvisation... I just finsihed reading a book about the Culinary Institute of America and t...

I'm not sure how well potted plants will do in that space...but I thought of this earlier post on the MOLGER bench from IKEA:

I bought the CROSLEY radio a few years back at a PotteryBarn on sale for 50% off. It's not a bad radio - the bass is a little too strong and there's no audio adjustment...I ended up stuffing a wad...
