As a blogger audition: 3 cupcakes!
I've lived in DC for more than a decade (including a few in Georgetown) and although I've seen a few of our old residential alleys, I had no idea ...
Lots of people use sisal and jute in their living rooms these days, but I still think of it as the stuff you put on the back porch or mudroom.
I agree with HeatherLeaf -- don't let s...
kls987, Paper Source has a bunch of stores and they have lots more paper in the stores than online. (Finally, something most of us have that NY doesn't have...)
My apartment has all the windows on just one side -- and they all face north. I like it bright. So I go through a lot of lightbulbs. About six months ago, I bought my first batch of CFLs at Targ...
Wig, I've been coveting wood flooring for my bathroom, too. The idea that I had was to just put down wood deck tiles. Because they're intended to withstand the elements outdoors, I figure they'll...
YAYAYAYAY!!!!
Ooh. Sorry. Got a little over-excited there. It's Target and AT coming to DC all in the same week.
DC is desperate for AT because enormous numbers of peop...
I'd try the landlord first. There are laws about noise transference in DC. I'd be surprised if your leases didn't specify that you have to carpet a certain % of the floor.
The best s...
Between too much travel and a serious injury, I didn't have much progress in the Fall cure. But I did get some things done (like some serious kitchen cleaning and emptying out my hall storage clos...
Based on my huge closet clear out (and feeling like theres really more to come) I think that when I finish this process, like Zoosa, I'll then be ready to start.
I find myself thinki...
I love the first photo of the bed and green wall. I love the orange kitchen. But I'm not 100% sold on the green-blue-orange combination. I'm trying to imagine standing in that room and seeing al...
Jonathan, the method sounds great for those of us paralyzed by decision making. Thanks for sharing it.
I'm very far behind due to a couple of weeks vacation in the middle of this. Th...
I have to agree that while the space is beautiful, the colors are too strident on the striped wall and too bland everywhere else. And the blue isn't working for me at all. I think you should have...
I've been traveling the last couple of weeks, but I'm back and ready to pick-up where I left off: Finishing the kitchen, measuring my hall closet to buy some shelves and get ready to to the hall &...
Lots of us can be a little slack when we're moving our own stuff across town with our friends. It's easy to get them to be careful with a particular box, or just fling all the pillows and bedding ...
Love that bedroom! And that balcony, too. The living room is a bit much of a muchness for my personal taste. It works -- and works well -- but I'm finding it hard to really love the MCM furnitu...
I'm guessing the photos don't do this place justice (either that or my computer monitor). It looks pretty bland in the photos, but when you described it (the pale chartreuse and the blue), I could...
If you want to move on from the Corelle, try porcelain. A friend who managed a Macy's china department and later worked at a CB swears by it.
Porcelain is actually much more durable ...
We had that blue and white Royal Copenhagen. Or maybe it was a knock-off as there are a few around. Once we'd broken enough of those, my mother started buy groovy pottery. It was the 70s.

I was out of town this weekend, so I'm behind a bit. I'm going away in 10 days again, but now it looks like I'll be returning with a house guest, so I really need to get on top of some of this stu...

I've seen similar ones on ebay for about $200.
