Funny, the kitchen remodel I'm working on is taking a galley to a U shape! I can't stand galley kitchens! So much wasted work space! But then I cook. A lot! Though his after does look...

Course the chlorine bleach then enters our waste water!

We've gone the entire winter without heat due to a recaltrient kitchen remodel. Here in NoCal it's been cold but manageable! We're running indoor temps about 58 and haven't noticed it all that much...

For fawn and hidden.bird-- I'm sure it depends on the person, but my husband is just like Fawn's SO. He gets upset not being able to "provide for his family." I work too, but he feels his income ...

I just rip out the old so I have no choice but to keep moving forward. Like now. I have no kitchen (we had to rip it out due to mold issues--waterproof your tile backsplashes people!) and the dream...

One, you have the potential for great outdoor space! Congrats! Wish I did! Second are suggestions for making it cooler (literally and figuratively): Put down wooden deck tiles over the ...

Start with painting a wall that's in good condition. This will lead you into patching holes in drywall in a wall that's NOT in good condition. From there it's a small step forward to adding trimwor...

p_capucine, I wasn't trying to be difficult, but I still don't see the big deal about buying a mirror, 2 shoe cabinets and 2 lamps and putting them into the entry. I agree, the space ...

I guess I'm the minority here, but she went to Ikea? Where's the inspiration in that? It is a lovely hallway, but where the personalization?

There's no kitchen in my kitchen, but there's a kitchen in my living room! We're in the middle of our custom kitchen remodel...and it's all Ikea. So far we're loving the ease of putting the cabine...

I hadn't realized this was a Finnish thing, but my hubbie and I have done this with 2 seperate queen duvets in a queen size bed from day one. I am a cocoon sleeper and he's a heat furnace...not a r...

When we moved into a not-so-nice apt building while we were establishing our credit we learned a thing or two about how pathetic some landlords can be. We moved into a place with carpet so worn out...

The Salvation Army also is vocally anti-homosexual, based on their 'religious viewpoints'. Discovering this made me sad, as I'd love supporting both the Boy/Girl Scouts and the Salvation Army.

At least these crazy kitties aren't invading the fridge! My poodle (12lbs!!) figured out how to open the refridgerator door in order to get at the pot roast I'd cooked off for a dinner party that n...

oooh yes, I LOVE the grocery store gift card idea! Attached to a bundle of clementines, yum!

First, try to embrace that muted gold as your metallic accent color. Repeat it once on the table, IE: gold chargers, gold tealight holders, gold napkin rings, etc. Use it somewhere and it becomes a...

I use the same clear plastic hangers you see in department stores and I LOVE them! The top swivels so you never need worry about which way the clothing should face so you can see it in the closet, ...

They're just your basic sheer curtain with two layers of pompom fringe sewn on, one light yellow and one dark yellow. I remember seeing this pic in a magazine or somewhere long ago.

I second the Ikea sofa love! We have the classic ektorp with multiple cover choices...and when the puppy pees/vomits/gets diarreha on the sofa, knowing you can whip the cover off and wash it is pri...

Then there are my cousins kids: Augustine (pronounced aug-gus-tin, not like the city in FL) and Evageline. Eek, poor kids.
