I'm the mom in one of those "father wakes up for sleeping baby, mother sleeps through everything" households.

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!

I've got one in my family room. Rarely do we use it for actual excercise, but my 18-month old thinks it is cool that he has such a huge ball to push around, and when folks come over, there is alwa...

Oh yes, love the bathroom porn! My fantasy bathroom is based on the Japanese way of splitting the toilet and washing. A small powder room with a Japanese with-the-works toilet near the front door...

good stuff! 2% milk instead of milk/cream, used the microwave method above (only took 2mins and then 3-1min. intervals on high in an 1100W microwave), then stirred in 1 oz of unsweetened baker's c...

I do like the after pics, but the main problem I have with office makeovers is how clearly a day of filing could have helped in the before pics rather than a whole makeover. And there clearly isn'...

Don't microwave in plastic ever is not exactly what the original study said. On the other hand, "Some Concern" by the NTP probably warrants going to glass. Pyrex has some great sets, some aren't ...

The origami cube garland is gorgeous! I wonder how it would look if made from all the colorful junk mail I've been getting lately.

Uh, pretty house, but when did apartment therapy become 3400 SF. I agree with formosagirl, this is more like looking at a catalogue than seeing anything inspiring and innovative for space ideas.

Interesting. My first thought qualifies as refuge: a comfy couch looking out a window. My second thought was a hot-pot to make tea. My third was my hubby and baby. Maybe the last qualifies as e...

I'm agreeing with bepsf. I've had this design in mind for a while for our entry/dining/living room, but we had a complicated desk built custom for us that was still half the price of this table. ...

I'm with Cassis -- is this really a functional backsplash, i.e. a waterproof, easy-to-clean wall protector?

Love the concrete, hate the sod. Of course, over time one could grow some vines up the walls pretty spectacularly or a tree.

What an amazing space! If I lived here, I'd probably be down at my local coffee shop more than I actual hung out here, but as a weekday pad this is amazingly well equipped in such a small space.

Isn't plastic a by-product of our petroleum usage? (Using waste stream products is good.) But this floor is just sealed with urethane which most wood floors are anyway. The silica sand and resin...

I want a copy!!

Oh, but I love the shot of the bed. Makes me want to snuggle down with those pillows.

I am a minimalist junkie, but the problem with it is that you have to severely edit *everything*. Nothing can be casually left about like the tray and newspaper/book and random bowl. This place n...

I want! I want!

cool shower -- run to the hot tub when in my last apartment -- hot shower. Sometimes I wish I could afford a hot tub (well actually the cleaning service...)
