I've been looking at switchplate and outlet covers lately, I haven't found exactly what I want, but here are some of the links I saved. Anthropologie has cute covers sometimes, but the...

Are you sure about calling the cabinets original to the house? Under mount sink = currently trendy, not 1927. Also, Schoolhouse Electric = NOT budget. Possibly using color is a budge...

There are only two drawers in my kitchen, and to open the smaller drawer more than 2", you have to open the oven door. To open the drawer more than 4", you have to turn on the front burner. (The d...

What are the plans to make the slideshows on AT accessible again? I can't see the pictures, and I've seen reports from others with the same problem.

Ever since the format change, I can't see pictures from the house tours in the slideshow format. Too bad. I wish AT would revert to the previous format for slideshows until these issues are fixed...

So the roses on either side of my front door are a bad idea, feng shui-wise? Or do thorns not count as spiky? What does having spiky plants outside your front door lead to? My bougainvillea (als...

If you can wait, the Restoration Hardware fans are always on sale at the end of summer. I bought the 8" fan 3-4 years ago, and I really like it. I use it a lot in the summer, and it h...

I agree with Robyn -- just keep checking Anthropologie web site until it goes on sale. It will take a few months from when it was first introduced; but when they go on sale, they are $99.

That isn't really Laure's bedroom anymore since she moved, right? I'd be more inspired by what has happened since the move, since that relates more to the cure (current changes rather than what wa...

Gardner's Eden has a similar product, it was posted on AT semi-recently. GE also markets their products for indoors and outdoors.

I have a potted bougainvillea in San Diego in full shade and it's doing great; I've had it in this location for over 10yrs. They are really easy plants in this climate. I alternate bet...

I like the energy savings from CFLs, but haven't found the right bulb for all applications. I also like that you can get higher Lumens from CFLs: some of my table lamps have 25 or 40 watt restrict...

Thanks, Sleek! I wasn't familiar with that way of thinking about color, and I appreciate the information.
