I find the comments here both interesting and thought-provoking. I politely disagree with inkstainedwriter that this discourse is out of place on AT. Tonky's terrific poster isn't one I'd buy, bec...

Not a recent blunder, but once I made a pate-like dish from a Finnish recipe. It involved pureeing chicken livers in a blender then adding other ingredients and steaming it. After a while, I notice...

I would never stay in the suite in Picture 3, because ever after, I'd hate my own beds.

Thank you thank you! I've been casting about for a lazy way of shortening some curtains. . . .

Speaking of Patrick's Big Window Challenge, where has Patrick gone? We miss his sharp, incisive, witty comments! And PS: I think it was the lighting in his window that made things loo...

Scroll a little less than halfway down on this link for a similar staircase situation: http://style-files.com/page/2/ T...

Yes, please remove the metal nosing from the stair treads! They really diminish the look gained from all your hard work. ---And wow, have you ever done a lot of hard work. I'm filled with admiration!

The Japanese have been building hallways around the perimeter of homes for a thousand years! Each room then has sliding panels so the room can be open completely to the outer, hallway windows, or ...

As a writer, I've had many eureka! moments in the shower and have been forced to write them down in the mist on the glass shower walls. A computer and printer in the bathroom would be a very happy ...

The folks at Bekerle's hardware store (any location) know EVERYTHING! Their stores are a joy for a DIYer.

For heaven's sake, paint the cabinets BEFORE you make decisions about the wall color! Otherwise, how will you know what the final look of things is?

PS Wanna see teal bedroom, please!

The colors of the couch and the chest of drawers with the rug make me swoon. As for the rest: wow. Wow. Wow. I would so love for this entry to win over a bunch of 50s crap!

Adore the very shabby very chic decor of #4. The snow crystals on the windows. The sheer curtain with the perfect distribution of faerie lights. The tassels on the window frame. Adds up to a lovel...

I've had some comedic episodes with Gorilla Glue that rival Lucille Ball's routine at the candy factory conveyor belt. The first time I used it, I was unaware that it swells up into foam and lost t...

What I want is the sound track for The Forest Glade division at the V&A. That and a vase of twigs would turn a space into a forest!

I want that old rolling table so much it hurts.

There are a lot of very creative good ideas here. If they were my stairs, though, I'd first nail down loose tread tiles (or remove all the tread tiles completely), then paint the stairs and railing...

J'adore the purple staircase, but the purple bannister cover is just a bit too precious and clever. I think it distracts.

Love Jeff and Martha's Staten Island place because it feels like it could be your grandma's place raised to a higher sensibility. Good looks plus gemutlichkeit. It's the place I'd most like to go ...
