It looks like an item from the manufacturer Amisco. They had lots of similar furniture in a powder coated metal (futons, book cases, desks etc.) I remember seeing a chair like that for sale at Urba...

3 cutting boards (1 for meats, 1 for veggies and 1 smaller one for cutting kids fruits etc.), all plastic. I never heard that bacteria is harder to remove from plastic boards, but that's good to kn...

I like the look of #32, but #10 fits your door style better.

What's up Jordan. I like Unkle too.

Count me in please

I'm with David. At least they let you know it was sponsored up front. Whatever keeps the lights on my friends. This is a business.

Mineral Oil works for sure. We were using that "Stainless Steel Magic" spray stuff and read the label to find out what it was.

we just had hardwood installed in our whole 1st floor with 3 coats polyeurathane, but i'm worried about damage too. Not so much from food, but water damage from dishes or tipped over cups. We have ...

i did this in our kitchen a few years back when i worked at a dot.com where we had floor to ceiling chalkboards in our hallways. Our chalkboard was great for jotting down lists, messages and the be...

We have the Jake Chairs 2 kids under 5 and the mess they make wipes right off. I bet the Ikea chairs would be similar to clean. A tip: European Furniture Warehouse on Grand usually has a buy 3 get ...

go for what you want. you're the one who has to live with it. if you want vintage, try Broadway Antique Market. They used to have decent prices on good vintage items, but mid-century i...

We got some kohlrabi in a batch of veggies in a delivery last fall and i roasted it with some onions and sweet potatoes. It was unbelievably good, though i didn't care for the tough outer skin. We'...

BB, we're in Chicago, so all the resources we know about are here. It took us years to save up enough for this project and months to get all the bids and availability for everyone, so i know the ro...

BB: I have one of those that we can't use for our kitchen renovation. The faucet is new and not been used and you can have it if you wish (just cover shipping from Chicago). We prefer ...

I've really had good luck finding unique vintage pieces at BAM for really good prices. STILL kicking myself for not picking up a danish modern lighted globe they had about a month ago.

I believe the whole controversy is usually around the fact that the fiberglass one is manufactured like the original -- on the original equipment Modernica claims -- and Herman Miller's is in a mor...

uh, gorgeous. (your house is nice too.)

Ouch. Such hate for RR. I'm not in her fan club or anything, and I've tried some of her recipes and they worked out fine. Sure she's loud and you see her EVERYWHERE but I wouldn't say that makes he...

You may want to check around for a vintage steelcase loveseat. the lines are pretty similar to a Knoll, but for much, much less. I picked up 2 a few years back from Broadway Antique M...

Absolutely! the Volt Snooper is a MUST HAVE for this. Our house's electrical diagram was wrong and i ended up changing an outlet that was still live. I had no idea until i was done and went to push...
