I love this - but I agree that they're not pocket doors. Pocket doors push back into pockets. They're neat, but not nearly as neat as what they've done here. LOVE. ...

Microfiber is amazingly stain-proof. So much so that I didn't think twice about flinging chocolate pudding at my husband (funny!) and getting it all over our sectional. It cleaned up in just a ma...

C&B just opened near us and I was all excited to see the Petrie sofa in person. And it turns out that it is the exact same fabric as our two couches from Macy's that we HATE. It attra...

I'd like to see reviews on the new Poang rocker at Ikea. I sat in one recently, and it seemed comfortable, but the rock seemed kind of weird. It felt like it might rock better with more upper bod...

It looks like a solar oven to me.

My desk is going to be in the middle of the office, where I can see out a window and the double doors into the rest of the couch. I'll figure out a way to deal with the power cords for the laptop ...

Drywall.

I thought that was the Ikea bed, just wrapped in white fabric. Seems like a good DIY. The Ikea bed would actually look good in this room in green too.

Even the "fresh" bread and baked goods at the grocery store can apparently be up to a year old before they're finished off in the oven. As for jams and preserves being "stale," that's ...

I love this, and I'm already trying to figure out how I can recreate something like the first picture in my back yard. I love the sunken fire pit, although I would have to create a stu...

I agree with most of the advice, except I'd modify it to: Take it inside after 10pm. But give your neighbors until midnight during the week and 1am on the weekend before you call the ...

I agree not to rush it and only buy what you love. We went out and bought a bunch of knicknacks super cheap to decorate our condo after we renovated it, and now one by one, those items...

I like the Panton suggestion. In white.

In the past, I have had success just taking one of the cabinet doors off my bathroom vanity and putting the litterbox behind the second door so you couldn't see it. It was very similar to this ben...

Honoring the original style of the house doesn't mean that you can't make changes. But you should pick some of the better characteristics and work with them, not against them. My hous...

The only thing I like is the new front door, although it's too warm to go with anything else in the new room. The changes to the windows and fireplace are just sad. Well, the old fireplace didn't...

Among the R&B fabric swatches I received recently, most of them seemed to be way too thin and stretchy to be upholstry fabrics. The only ones that seemed to have any durability were the polyester ...

This totally turns me off to R&B sofas, which I considered "safe" and in a reasonable price range. I just ordered a bunch of swatches, too, and I was disappointed at how thin and stretchy (in a pl...

What is fururistic?? Could not live in a victorian home. Nope.

CB2 makes a desk like the Nelson Swag called the Swoop for $299: http://www.cb2.com/family.aspx?c=302&f=4978
