Yeah, she'll probably have to tone down the sarcasm for HGTV. Which could make her more pleasant.

More wide shots would be good, to see what the rooms look like as a whole. But the dead things are creepy for sure.

I was just talking about this with my husband the other day. We use cloth for almost everything, but it's hard not to have tissue paper around with two 2-year-olds and runny noses galore. We buy Gr...

Does your gas/electric utility need to see the meter regularly? That will complicate any plan for sure.

Oh, and we had already been using cloth napkins and dish towels for years before the kids came along. On a related note, I've been trying for a while to find substitutes for plastic di...

All or our flannel burp cloths have been reborn as cloths for cleaning up toddler messes. We keep a stack of them handy, on a shelf where they can be easily reached from the kitchen or dining table...

Could be a manly woman inviting her lady friend over for a romantic dinner! Anyway, patrick, you hit the nail on the head. And oy is right.

You could try putting the crib in the living room for a few nights (or just putting her to sleep in the pack-n-play) and letting her cry it out. 9 months is definitely old enough for that. But even...

Historic, not historical. Just fyi.

Okay that first one made me laugh out loud. It's great.

Maxwell, please give instructions for the felt headboard!

Beautiful. I love the mix of vintage modern and vintage pre-modern.

Plus, you don't only need a down payment, you also need closing costs. We're in the same situation in the SF Bay Area: two excellent jobs and we can't afford to buy a decent house in a safe neighbo...

I had the same thought about the sofa color. The room is gorgeous but I would go with that couch in a dark brown or black.

Can't you pull the shades down for privacy? If you really want to get some fabric up there you could put some hooks/brackets at the corners and center of the molding around the outside of the bay, ...

Please no more books organized by color. Otherwise I love your place.

We've had mismatched, painted vintage dressers (mine's messed-up metallic gold, husband's is charcoal grey) for years and love them. Good height, good surface area and good (hidden) storage.

I don't have a chair suggestion but I love your new floors and I also vote for keeping your current dining room rug, especially if you are going for "ultra modern" chairs. Your Ikea chairs don't re...

It's gorgeous. I'm curious if there's any insulation. And if not, how do you keep it warm in there?

With the light blue counter I think a simple, inexpensive white tile backsplash would look great.
