Love the Waterford Marquis Vintage collection, which can be purchased through Macy's. The glasses for reds are well shaped and could serve a white just as easily. I prefer crystal, thin-lipped an...

I don't know about anyone else, but the easel as a TV stand really bothers me. I'm a painter, and I definitely want to separate my creative space from my media space. I can't appreciate the refer...

Mamma Andersson makes incredible paintings of vacant interiors and figures inside modern interiors. I highly recommend checking her out.

I would think that the heat of the fixture glass would loosen the glue-gun glue pretty quickly. Crafter's glue would probably hold better, but be much messier!

I think I've mentioned this one in a previous post on the topic. My neighbor is a schizo-effective transexual MTF who decided within a month of moving in that she had a crush on me, and began an a...

I live in a railroad flat, so there are three parlors. The one closest to the kitchen and designated "dining room" by the realtor is my painting studio. It's close proximity to the bathroom sink/...

I wanted to move my sofa out of my bay window, where it seemed to fit perfectly, because it blocked the heat source in the room, and I read about how energy inefficient that was. The only way the ...

What about a nicely frame Rothko, Albers, or Hans Hoffmann print? All of these are abstract painters with color theory as a basis for their work. I've seen so many to choose from online! You mig...

This is interesting, because I came home from work tonight, read the thermostat at 58 and decided it was time to put on the heat. Only, the thermostat is very testy, and the heat won't come on. I...

In upstate NY, we have a lot of old houses with radiators and ugly heaters, and we have to keep them functional with our winters! It's fairly standard to put a radiator cover over them. You shoul...

I have a hard time with naps, but I've been catching 15-30 min on the couch lately in the afternoon, between calls for work (I work remotely part of the day.) With my pomeranian curled up next to ...

Pakobel rugs, an Ebay store, sells kilims and dhurries that look a lot like the one you've pictured. I have a similar one from them in black and off-white stripes, made of wool. It wears extremel...

My deal breakers: - no windows - no yard or patio - gross bathroom/kitchen - heavy smokers on premises - carpeting - lack of storage, cabinets, pantry - ro...

I wish I had the problem of a simply rude onlooker. Unfortunately, I have the problem of a work-at-home transsexual MtoF woman upstairs who has developed a crush on me. She knocks on my door 2-3 ...

I think it would be nice to inject a little warmth into the bathroom, like with some wood accents. Something with a medium/reddish finish. A couple of wood shelves, a wastepaper basket, a wooden ...

Oops, it's called Limousine Cloth, and you can find it here: www.gretchenbellinger.com You may have to speak with a local rep to get your hands on it, but they will have color swatche...

Gretchen Bellinger carries a felt that comes in close more than 20 colors. She has several whites, taupes, and creams to choose from. I can't quote you the exact price, but I think it goes for so...

I second the thoughts of the reader who cautioned against placing artwork in light. Especially with paintings and works on paper, this is a bad idea. It is better to avoid hanging artwork in dire...

I've seen some amazing things done with knotty pine and milk paint. Casein (milk) paint will produce historic character, and coupled with a modern light fixture, could be a really interesting trea...

Turkish figs, a lovely compliment to Earl Grey with a bit of honey and milk. Or shortbread, a classic, decadent treat!
