I saw this a few days back on a web site. It really disgusts me. What a waste, no matter what "eco" planning they did to cool down the building. Apparently, they don't believe they need to do any "...

I love to buy fresh flowers to decorate after a satisfying cleanup!

Why do I have the impression he just stepped into lilliput-ville? The feet look awfully scrunched up under that teensy coffee table.

Organza bags can also be bought at Pearl River Mart if you live in NYC.

A nice big block of colorful, geometric, spanish tile behind it would be beautiful! I'd go with a neutral stone colored base.

I guess you're supposed to do like Dukes of Hazard to get in.

I used to use an electric for years on the recommendation of my dentist and, I'd suppose the trend. However, the last 6 months, I switched back to manual. I find I'm more attentive to brushing with...

What color is that green on the walls in the dining room?? i LOVE it!
