I love the decor in #4 (I actually already had that picture in my inspiration file). Not only is it beautiful and clean, but it is also low enough not to preclude cross-table conversation.
We're having 14 to Thanksgiving and I'm definitely doing placecards. I dislike that feeling at large sit-down dinners where everyone is kind of milling around and eyeing each other, not knowing wh...
@tpgirl - I think it's a little much to expect a designer to be able to design (or a homeowner to be able to buy) a chair that would be comfortable for people of all sizes, body types, and physical...
Thievery Corporation, Madeleine Peyroux, Zero 7, Nina Simone, Charles Mingus, Pink Martini, Nouvelle Vague, Joao Gilberto, Cassandra Wilson...and of course Ella and Billie never disappoint!
And @Daily Nuance - Most architects know little to nothing about keeping buildings from falling down on you. That's not their job. Talk to a structural engineer for that.
Wow, there's a lot of passion on this subject! Just my two cents - I am a general contractor so I work with a lot of "architects", and I can tell you that at least here in Los Angeles, anyone who ...
Lovely cabinets. I think almost anything would look great with them (with the exception of another wood like butcher block). I have stainless steel countertops and backsplash in my apartment and ...
@marissachristy - We're hosting 14 for Thanksgiving and are renting tables from Classic Party Rentals. It's not as expensive as you might think. But for six, perhaps you could borrow two card tab...
When we moved into our apartment, one of our first purchases was a stainless steel chef's table and two counter-height bar chairs to go with it rather than a traditional dining table. Our open flo...
Hi everybody, this is Anna. Thank you all so much for your helpful comments - and I'm so glad you like the house! I love it too. I like the idea of giving the new renter some say in the paint, b...
Gorgeous! Our bookshelves, accumulated in different apartments over many years, are totally mismatched - this is a beautiful, sustainable, and inexpensive way to fix that problem.
I don't know why, but when something is texted it is so much cuter than if it was emailed - or said in person. My favorite text received this week is "I will be there in 30 mintes give or take a c...
I think a landing strip is a necessity, at least for me. Right now we're "landing" at the end of our dining table, which I don't like so much. I really want to be able to leave my purse by the do...
@00Nat00 and bekbecker3 - The lamp appears to be a true Arco lamp (not a knockoff). I got mine at Room & Board.
@LoriSF - In the Before picture, I think the mail is in the foreground,...

@Astur - Pottery Barn has beautiful unscented candles in white and ivory. Ikea also has great ones (and a lot cheaper).
I'm not big on objets, but those white ceramic pinecones really are beautiful. The acorns on their website are gorgeous too!

Oh, these are lovely! I want to stop working immediately and start DIYing my own for Thanksgiving.

Oh no - this is going to start the "arranging books by color" debate for the umpteenth time!
