I was at Target today when they marked all Christmas stuff down to 90% off. I bought boxes of 12 glass ornaments for 25c per box! So I wound up with 60 matching ornaments for a grand total of $1....
I lived in Denmark for a while and fell in love with the whole concept of "hyggelig." It's a notion that I come back to, over and over, as I make my own home. I think Tracy has done a good job of...
Our living space has a teal and brown theme, with brights bursts of limes green, yellow, and orange. It wouldn't work well for a bedroom--too "busy"--but I love it for our living space.
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...
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...
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...
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?
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?...

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