My ginger tabby Riley has taken to hanging out in his cat carrier - pretty funny since he loathes it most of the time. He'll lay on his side and stretch out one paw as if to catch any tiny breeze ...

I love your mom's room - my bedroom is a similar blue-to-gray and it's the most peaceful place in my condo. The color in my room is a Benjamin Moore match of the ridiculously expensive but beautif...

not local, but a similar concept can be found in Meredith New Hampshire at Burlwood on route 3...

I love these - because I was afraid they'd adhere too well I used clip rings on a pressure rod to hang them and was very pleased with both the look and the price.

What about going to a craft store and buying inexpensive shadowbox-style frames? If you got something that was two or three inches deep you should be able to put enough soil in it to grow wheatgra...

Farrow and Ball's "Borrowed Light" was recommended to me for my bedroom by a decorator, and I love it, however the price tag (approximately $85/gallon) was ridiculous IMHO. My painter kindly took ...

My place is a 715 sq. ft. one bedroom with a sun room - my previous place was about 1100 sq. ft. but I only used about 600 sq. ft. of it. I like small best.

I stayed in a similar type of hotel in Stockholm - I found it very comfortable (I'm 5'8") but my travel companions (5'0" and 6'7") were less than thrilled.

Not my taste, but a clever idea.

I own the Horizons Slat Queen bed, a Gibson sofa and a Madison armchair, all of which I love. They're all solid, well-constructed pieces of furniture and I expect to continue loving them for a lon...

Thanks streepyj - not a bad idea, but the switched outlet is on the right side of the bed and I fear that both cords won't reac...

Hey vitamin design milk , me too! I can't sleep if the bottom of the sheet isn't completely and firmly tucked under, and my d...

I really like what you've done here, particularly your color choices. And I covet the window shades in your LR - the lines are so clean! Thanks for sharing your space.
