I'd paint it for sure. You can still achieve a cozy feeling in the evenings with candlelight.

Looks very labour intensive. But it also looks great! Do you think they would have sealed it? Part of what makes it so lovely is the slight differences in colour throughout. But I wond...

I was going to say peacock blue too!

I'm guessing if you want to roll that on a lawn you'd have to go with some bigger, wider castors? Has anyone tried to move a sandbox on a lawn? Would definitely be great to be able to move one arou...

I actually like the current scheme. I'd just update the door colour, amp up the landscaping, and change the light fixture. But the black and slightly off-white scheme is timeless. I th...

Another vote for books. My suggestion: The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson. It's amazing. She also wrote a series called Tales from Acorn Wood, and those books are heavyweight paperbacks w...

I agree with manu_pty and JoanneM. I have essentially the same table. I painted it black. I liked it for a bit, but it doesn't wear that well. You should sand. Then prime...

Just to add yet another vote of confidence: We have a Gulliver crib in white. We love it. It's sturdy, and we haven't had any safety concerns crop up in the 15 months that we've been ...

Oh, I forgot to mention that I love your deck railing!

What is that interesting plant combination in the giant swath that runs through picture 5? It looks like a fern and either an ornamental grass or an iris (pre- or post-flower). But I'd love to know...

Beautiful!

TV! It's so easy to follow your favourite shows online or at the end of the season on DVD. It's an easy thing to lose. kelleyk: I have cable internet through the same company that woul...

I like hers/yours better. But I understand the need for compromise. If you can change the legs as you'd suggested, that would be a good start. I'd try to make sure that the seat height is similar s...

Not saying it changes much, but unless I have it wrong, the image on the right is the back of the house, not the front facade. It's unfortunate that the post doesn't seem to include i...

I would paint all of it. Don't touch your stairs until you know exactly what you want to do there. It's a tedious job, so no sense doing it more than once. My advice would be to look at pictures of...

Love the sofa.

Not my favourite idea.

If you live in an area with a municipal composting program, you're likely able to put things in your bin (called a "green bin/cart" here) that you wouldn't necessarily put in your own compost pile....

I think they're amazing.

For me it's a bowl of cereal. Wow, right? Or if I have good cheese, toast and cheese. It's a nice combination of lazy and quality. But it's definitely not well-balanced! M...
