Rust won't hurt the plants, but it will ruin your windowsill. And it will eventually ruin the tins, too. If you could line the inside of the containers, you might be OK, but otherwise this just i...

We have a row of Ikea Mandals in our bedroom, under the knee wall. I hope to paint them someday to make them look like a built-in.

I cut that article out of the magazine when I first saw it. The feature was influential to me as I picked the color scheme for our first house. My place is still nowhere near as cool as that, but...

Love it. Alas, my lack of central A/C necessitates hideous ceiling fans in every room. :(

I demand a picture of Charlie. You can't tell me you have a dachshund and then not show a picture. (Otherwise, nice place!)

I highly recommend the book New Classic Style by Better Homes and Gardens. It's a whole book about how mixing styles produces richer, more interesting rooms than remaining tightly bound by one sty...

No need to buy a kit--the instructions on Martha Stewart work just fine. I've done this a couple times now. Hit your local thrift store and buy some ties--they need to be silk--and have fun! It'...

My husband is 6'2" and wanted a sofa where he could lounge lengthwise. We were also on a budget. We bought the Peyton sofa from Ashley Furniture for $899 I think. Yeah, that's right--Ashley. Bu...

I want a T@B. I've never been inspired by the mobile home lifestyle before, but the first time I saw a T@B, I just wanted it desperately.

Totally inappropriate post.

I wasn't impressed with it--it felt cheap to me. (This coming from a person who thinks most IKEA quality is just fine.)

Wow. Imagine--our kitchen sinks and laundry machines are cesspools of bacteria!!!! And yet, these terrifying health hazards--right in our own homes(!!!)--haven't managed to kill any o...

I've never purchased from them, but I've done some window shopping for the future and www.modernfan.com has some much more affordable options. Does anyone know about the quality?

That's www.sialis.org/hosp.

Oh sure, you'll get birds year-round at a feeder. Visit a garden center and they'll be able to tell you what type of food is right for your area. Or you could look for your local Audubon Society'...

Lovely room! I think it's my favorite! By the way--is that the IKEA Mandal I see there, with a spiffy paint job? I bought three of these units and likewise plan to paint them someday. Any hints?...

Lovely place! I really like the green in the kitchen.

Oh, I came here just to suggest Top Pot Donuts... but I see you covered them. Oh, what I'd give for a Chocolate Sandcastle right now...

We have a different edition of those same science books. They belonged to my husband as a kid; he's a science professor now. I guess they did their job. :)

I've used a similar shade to decorate my dining room and living room, so I obviously love it. But the commitment of built-in cupboards in this shade make me a little nervous.
