I would put in new countertops and new cabinet hardware. I would add lower and upper cabinets to either side of the stove. Take down the cabinet over the vacuum. Can you...

There was a great episode of This Old House where Kevin O'Connor went back a year later to one of the houses and interviewed the owners about what worked and what didn't. One of the t...

Does Philly have neighborhood policing? ie. do you have a beat cop? Here in Atlanta we have 2 police officers assigned to our neighborhood. They are super involved in our neighborhood watch and are...

I think it's nice. With others, I wish there was a little 'more' but as she said in her piece, they've moved a lot. Rather than being styled as an accomplishment, the bed is left looking like an af...

I don't know what's worse: finding out Sal Romano is not coming back or seeing him on a couch with bunnies.

We all need to know about those linens!

Have you looked at Young America by Stanley Furniture? They are all made in the USA. The dressers I have in my daughter's room are actually my Stanley dressers from middle school. Very classic line...

this deserves a hot or not?! It is only awesome.

I agree with the stairs comment. I also think that they only look grown up if you can at least quasi-stand when you are up there on the platform. Think lofted small room, not lofted bed. Other than...

I kept waiting for the "after" picture.

I love AR. My favorite is the one they use in their promo -the old timer who had a simple blue and white striped Navaho blanket worth 500K. His reaction was adorable. The appraiser was like "umm, t...

Ikea has a red one just like that.

new favorite. ps. pedal faster, little boy!

want to know why our bedroom is last? because all the duvets and comforters I see are so ugly or cost $600. It's either too girly, too masculine, or too plain. I tried just dealing with it and buyi...

*GASP*, bepsf. Call the Martha police. yes, in our old house I did put it on the floor because it was a new house and the w/d was in our rec room so we could watch TV and fold at the ...

We have our washer/dryer in the unfinished basement of our new house. This was only a secondary deal breaker because I was just happy they were there. The house had so many of the top things our ou...

I use a half-size one that hangs on the back of a door (not just stored on the back of the door, but folded down and used on the door). I love it. In college, I used to iron on a tabl...

Just to respond to those who fear taking up too much space: I've always had small rooms. The vanities don't have to be big or built-in (mine is at least half the size of the ones pictured). I have ...

I've always had a vanity even when I was little. My Southern mother grew up with them so she made simple skirted tables for my sisters and me. I hate a steamy bathroom once the shower...
