I like some of those chairs and reading this thread makes me want a dead animal to hang on my wall. There are waaaay too many leather sofas and chairs and cowhide this-and-that on thi...

I'm not usually a 100% fan of Mid-C, but I LOVE this.

There are websites and forums that will teach you how to build your own teardrop trailer or renovate/customize a used one. I love the T@B but the hand-built ones are a good bit cheaper so anyone el...

MCM is not automatically a short cut to good design either. A few Eames chairs hither and yon is no more an indication of good taste and imagination than buttercream and florals everywhere are.

"For instance, Ken keeps his carbon footprint low by living without air conditioning, keeping heating costs down, composting and recycling, avoiding air travel, and generally limiting his consumpti...

Purely on the most shallow and aesthetic-concerned level, I'd much rather imitate Martha for a year than Oprah. If nothing else, Martha's is all about EFFORT, the message being meticulous attention...

I like the look of patterned carpet but I think I would rather do a room sized bound-edges piece, or a room of Flor tiles. I'd worry about having it with pets or, someday, kids, too.

I'd think about painting the wood silver or pewter and using a fabric that's some combination of gray/black/white. Maybe a contemporary foliage or flower sillhouette print. Dove-gray m...

White and beige makes me depressed. I can take white with brights or black, or beige with red and ambers, but white and beige? Not serene, bland and anonymous. I'd only use it if I was...

The used furniture comments slay me. If you saw it recovered in an antique store for two hundred dollars, then it's "charming!" I'm not a fan of patchwork but I like midcentury sofas t...

***Decorating for any holiday other than Christmas is a waste of time, resources and money...*** And decorating for Christmas is like a mutual bond for Junior's college fund? Please.

Plenty of people have big exposed windows and glass doors on their house. I think the garage doors look nice. Rather silly to worry more about the vulnerability of your garage than of your livingro...

I'd like this under a very modern dining table. I shouldn't be allowed to have a diningroom rug, anyway; at least this would take spills.

I think I'd price leather and microfiber. I honestly don't know what they cost but for chair seats maybe its not that unreasonable a splurge. Something warm and natural, maybe ochre or a deep red. ...

I only own about a hundred or so books. Maybe less, now. I have to give a bunch away, too, because I'm moving internationally. That said, a library or a den as a cozy, TV-free room wit...

I love it. A sweep of a single plant could emphasize what a limited space it is. As it is, you get the effect of an entire flower border. And with a gray backdrop, you don't need to w...

I'm going to try to paint my own on a giant canvas at some point. Not as much commitment as a wall and more formal than a decal. I hope. Unless it looks crappy.

I'd be tempted to go with apricot, or a very light golden orange. Not safety orange. Or I would look at the Sherwin Williams historic palettes for ideas. They have '20s, '30s or '50s....

I want orange Fiestaware, walls, and accents. I don't really want an orange couch. I like a brighter orange than in these pics, but in smaller doses. For more neutral uses of orange, I...

A sectional commits you to almost a whole room of furniture in one style. I like to have a sofa and two chairs all in different styles or fabrics or something.
