Is that a bookshelf? I don't see how it could possibly function for storing anything. If you're swimming in so much space that you can afford to take up that much of a wall with a pure...

@18thandCali: Yes, it is. Add me to the list of the (still) confused. So, does it mean having separate "areas" in rooms, defined by furniture, rather than treating the en...

According to a book on maintaining old houses that I have, our radiators are "self-bleeding"-- that's what the steam-whistle looking thing on the side is, and while it periodically starts spouting ...

That photo makes me miss Roslindale!

How to Breed Superbacteria, FTW.

I sold my car just before I moved to Boston a little over five years ago, and I have not regretted it. Much, much easier without a car. Other people get towed for parking on the wrong ...

When I was growing up, we never had a gas stove. I didn't live in a place that had one until three years ago (when I was 33). So far, I haven't noticed a huge difference over the elect...

I think that the poll about size is kind of meaningless without info about how many people were living there. After all, even 2000 sq feet can start getting tight if you have a large ...

The ledge she's sitting on wraps around the wall to the left coming towards the camera-- I presume there's a way up either to the left of the camera or behind it.

I expected this to have more "not" votes-- because I voted "hot", and normally my tastes so often seem to go against the grain of this community (I'm not into the whole ultra-modern minimalistic th...

It's over the top and wholly impractical. But I kinda like it, so I voted "hot". Though I admit, that even if I had the space (that thing is bigger than my bathroom!) and ...

There's a coal-burning plant less than a mile away, and I live on a busy street. It never seems to take long for the outside windows to get dirty again after I clean them. I dug the "a...

I have a big 4x4 Expedit room divider and I love it. I also have a second-hand sofa with throw pillows from target, and a funky-crazy afghan that's older than I am (and still has a scr...

I love these!

Eh, with a visual memory, it could actually be useful to find books this way. (At least books you've already read and know; not so good for browsing.) But for someone to arrange their personal coll...

I think that my downstairs neighbors might have a thing or two to say to me if I tried to implement that idea. Add points for origionality and creativity, remove points for convenienc...
