I have nearly the same table (Ikea) and I always use a tablecloth. It's great how it can change the whole look of a room. Once you start, though, it's easy to become a tablecloth junkie, like me.
Oh, yeah, back to thrifts. I'm an occasional thrift shopper. When my son was moving into his first place after graduation, I hit the SA and a big camp fundraiser garage sale and found him two woo...
Wow. I came here to take a break from the political blogs. I was, of course, curious when I saw this post. The comments were good until the completely design-irrelevant ones came up.

Slightly off-topic, but the other day I got so tired of all the little vacuum-sealed packages flying out of the freezer that I bought a few cheap plastic baskets from the dollar store and put the s...
Some years back my father died and my mother and I were living in quiet depression for months. A friend of ours came over from Norway to visit for a month. Every evening when I came home from wor...
Wow. Thanks for the help. I love the marzipan Santas. Being Norwegian, we have a tradition of making marzipan every Christmas but I'm no artist. These are nicer than anything I could make. The...
