Toothpaste works on silver too.

wasteful use of materials!

I thought the first photo looked like beans soaking. I think birdbaths and fountains in gardens are really nice (and they're not uncommon, Bob Fossil) but I think there's something a little wormwoo...

We've got a maple floor in the kitchen. It was refinished a little over a year ago when we moved in and it still looks perfect. I don't think wood is any harder to keep clean than anything else and...

All kinds of creepy....

Hi Spottieottie, the step stool came from target a few years ago and I reupholstered it in a coated Marimekko fabric.

Kimm, the dining table (Bjursta table) and the bedroom curtains are both from Ikea. Kuroneko, the blue chair was made by Thonet, although I don't know what year, and was a lucky find ...

Hi lieschenmueller, The sofa is the Petrie sofa from Crate and Barrel. Azaleasmoke, thanks! The dining chairs are form Ikea (Roger chair) and I did reupholster them. I got the fabric f...

Hi! Sarah here. Thanks everyone for the nice comments! I'm happy there's so much orange rocker support because I made it in school (it's got some sentimental value)! Sadly I can't tell...

Your bathroom is so pretty!

This is just what I would want a home in Florida to look like. Beautiful!

I could never live with this (and I think my husband would leave me) but it's a gorgeous photo.

This could be really beautiful if incorporated into a new furniture design rather than using an existing table. Very cool idea.

It's all about personal preference. I personally don't like it, so I would paint it. Those of you who do like it, wouldn't. There's no right or wrong here...

I always like white cabinets especially with the grey counters. Then you could do something bright and cheery on the walls or just an accent wall.

I reuse bonne maman jars too. I use them for making and storing salad dressing. They're great because you just shake all your ingredients together (with the lid on) instead of stirring.

I do use about a cup of water. I think it makes a nicer sauce. I don't peel the apples though. I just quarter them, cut out the seeds and throw them in a pot. Then when I run them through my food m...

Willy Wonka had lickable wallpaper. I guess this is slightly less gross...

This is similar to a Florence Broadhurst fabric with a fan pattern. Go to http://www.signatureprints.com.au/frameset_furnishing...
