We have just your stove, and got white appliances and built IKEA Varde cabinets and counters around it, hardwood floors as well. It's the center of the kitchen and looks absolutely modern and home...

This happened to me (lamp fell) and I replaced the shade with a lovely blown glass shade I removed from an IKEA lamp. My old hardware is lovely, the IKEA glass is lovely, you would n...

I used this behind my washer-dryer combo. LOVE IT!

TRUE BLUE -- I can't thank you enough for the thoroughness of your suggestions. Getting a collection of images is a smart idea, as if rethinking everything about how it is set up now. Ever grateful.

Wow, thanks guys--yeah that's not my place, but something simply and nicely done. Those are great ideas! Our problem is we are simply not garden people, and can't seem to do it without someone te...

These are amazing comments! I'm thinking I have an industrial design friend who's interested in doing something inspired by Mouille. Glad I could get a conversation going! ANdy

Wanted to add that we have the double-high aerobed and put a featherbed on top, which makes it nearly identical to a real bed in feel--and not that rubbery, cold air mattress experience. Just used...

Here's our Aerobed trick--buy it from Bed Bath & Beyond. When it springs a leak (in a year or so) just exchange it. In fact, you can do that even if you didn't buy it there! We store the queen-s...

The couch I found on craigslist, but I think it's very similar to couches sold at Therapy on Valencia street, and Room & Board has similar ones. We got ours from the apartment my brother was movin...

The cabinets are APSVIK http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10114614 THey are 30 inches high, and ...

Sorry it took a second to reply--I cut the LACK shelves with a table saw, and they only chipped at bit at the edges but I painted that over and it didn't show. I had to drill new holes to have it ...

This is a constant debate in this region. LA and New York incorporated all of their regions long ago into gigantic cities, while San Francisco did not. Yet we would still be calling it New York e...

I'm in a similar fix--mostly because my room setup is too tight for a chair larger than 28", yet I want it to be super comfy! I'm considering hacking the Klappsta (The arlid is way too wide) with ...

Our house was broken into recently--while we were asleep--and a computer stolen from a front-room table. We never open our drapes, but we had the day before; obviously that allowed our Lower Haigh...

I didn't find it comfortable, and I'm a major IKEA fan. I do agree they're best at cabinetry and shelving and fabric. I've had to stop myself and focus on *slowly* getting B&B Italia through CL.....

The "white cabinet" is a West Elm item which cost $70 when I bought the identical item, so it's not exactly a deal here. Still, perhaps they don't make them anymore!

I've got an old 40's Tappan range that I love--but of course it has its problems. It will never burn as high or low as high-end ranges today; the oven temperature is slightly off, and the light we...
