Yes, move the expedit over and use as a credenza and bring in a low hung pendant. I have this set up in my kitchen/dining room right now. The expedit is actually just a place holder u...

Anyone have suggestions on how to hide a cord from a pendant lamp than runs along the wall. I have the knappa lamp, with a white cord running down a light green painted wall. Should I paint the cor...

The flokati rug is a good idea for the couch. I bought the large one from Ikea to use as a rug and my dog loved it. I finally gave it to him and now he uses it as his bed in the bedroom. I didn't k...

Opps... It *took* my dad...

Hi Everyone, Thanks for the comments. I not only love cooking in this kitchen because it so functional now, but also doing it all ourselves made it *almost* exactly how we wanted it (a...

I searched for something is a glossy white with lots of storage for a reasonable price. I couldn't find anything! So after seeing a great living room in Domino with the TV on a two dressers pushed ...

I bought a rug from overstock is a seagrass fiber and it is great. I got it for $150 and it is 8X10. I also ordered a 30 in wide, 10 in deep stainless steel sink fro our kitchen remode...

This may go in the oven roasting section, but I love to make oven fries. I probably do it once a week.

I love the Riverbed one...pretty please.

I mastered the slow cooker during our kitchen remodel. However, my favorite is still "ginger and garlic chickpeas". I make it with crispy fried shallots for the topping.

Does anyone know how to turn a closet into a murphy bed? I think mine may fit a double. Thanks.

Ummm, hello...treating (representations of) women as "objects" strung up by their heads? It is a violent and disturbing image.

I have Bosch that has an eco wash cycle - pretty efficient. And, as we figured at the first time we used it, there is no heat dry cycle. We thought it was broken, but it just requires a rinse agent...

I bought a flotaki rug and my dog decided it was the best doggy bed ever. He loved the thing. So I decided to turn it into a dog bed, since he was getting it...doggy. I reality I think he was just ...

I would go with sheer white linen to make the other colors in the room pop.

Can you tell us a little more about what makes the house green? Seems like only a few things are mentioned - insulation, paint, and a floor. Ohh and the salvagged furniture - excellent job there.

I use a reusable gold filter and it is super simple to knock out the grounds and wash out the filter. It also allows the oils from the coffee to get thru and makes better coffee. I do ...

I am assuming this is a joint marketing venture with a tract home company. Since the homes in these developments tend to have little imagination and are cookie cutter, the unimaginative Ikea design...

I use painters tape and tape the exact measurements on the floor, wall, etc. I did this with a rug and got the right size. I am currently doing it with a wall mounted media center - still deciding....

I think it depends on the rug. In the photo above that rug in a bigger size would be way too much for that pattern and it looks ok with the furniture arrangement. I have recently gott...
