If you want to live in much of SF, you don't have many alternatives to Victorian/Edwardian. I think it's a creative solution and I'd happily live in their new version. And I doubt that the "before"...
CB2 credits the same designer (Bruno Rainaldi) for their Array bookcase as DWR's Sapien. I'm not sure it's a knockoff - word on other AT threads and on the web is that it's the same design and manu...
My parents always have a vase of wild turkey feathers as the Thanksgiving centerpiece. There's a flock that lives in their yard, so they have a near-endless supply.
Our dinner parties are small enough (4-8) that I just try to orchestrate it by deciding ahead of time where my SO and I will sit. It's only a real issue at my parents' Thanksgiving dinner... there ...
The reviews on the Urban Outfitters version make it sound uncomfortable (though I do prefer firm sofas). Any idea if this pricier model is better-constructed? Nicer materials, better cushions?
The dropcloths that I've found are pieced together from remnants, so there's often a seam in the middle. Did people find dropcloths with no seams for curtains?
bepsf, bycast leather isn't quite the same as bonded leather, which you're describing. Bycast is split leather that's been resurfaced (the Ikea description is "Dyed through, split leather with an e...
I have the table in #4. It might be my favorite possession. Every time I look at it, its design makes me happy. The proportions and the turned legs are perfect. Right now it's a sideboard in my liv...
The casual mattress look that works so well for the Nomade sofa doesn't quite do it for me in the Nomade Express... I think the legs are the problem, for me, maybe? But if cost weren't an object it...
I got a simple wood platform bed from a futon store for something like $200. It's lasted a long time. The legs are plain, and taller than the West Elm frame. I can't find it quickly via google, but...
Oh, and I just remembered something sweet that I'd forgotten entirely! When I moved to California, my partner still lived in Boston. He knew I missed the fall colors, so he mailed me an envelope fu...
The problem is that you need to remove the moisture, but you also want to keep the colors, which fade as the leaves dry. I have some leaves that were coated in some sort of wax, and that seems to h...
Wow, their title layout is horrible... I'm impressed that we all seem to have had the same first reaction.
I went to their site to look at the magazine viewer, and the second page has ...
That looks like industrial wool felt, which is much thicker and sturdier than craft-store felt and cheaper than the deluxe solid wool stuff that filzfelt sells. A few years back there was an AT pos...
Thanks for all the information! I associate the simple fan-back Windsor chairs with the Shakers, but I'm not sure if that's correct... did they ever manufacture them? Did they originate the pared-d...

Very nicely written. I'd love to see more of this type of information-dense post on AT.

I really wish we knew the color in photo #1 - their house tour says they lost the BM paint chip. :(
Sounds like it could work - I have no idea - but I'm just laughing because all the farms I've been around use old bathtubs as horse troughs!
