At the moment, my entire home. It all started a few seasons ago when I tried The Cure, disrupted everything down to the deepest roots, then fell into a stupefying depression! However, I am making t...

The stainless steel one looks like a prop in an old psychiatric asylum horror film.

I use 'em to make boulders for my ancient stone kitchen wall....

Yes, but what is that incredible metal chair in the right hand corner of the first picture? I must have that chair! Does anyone know, please?

Why are the petits mountains spongy? What did they build them out of? We have a lawn on the side of a mountain that constantly weeps down water, and I can see our back lawn like this with rivers ...

The Derby party must have had a few very glum moments, what with Eight Bells. It might have been nice to look away from the screen and at these really nifty lamps.

How the hell do you back light framed photos so they glow like that?

I'm with btoddster re: wanting to rewire things to LED. I also have a great old chandelier that's in my garage because I keep meaning to learn how to rewire it myself. Anybody know where a person c...

I am torn. On the one hand, the arrangement sucks for art viewing: on the other hand, it's a pretty nifty, like, "architectural" element. But I think that in the right place and the right hands it ...

Wow. This is terrific. I love the bathroom. I love the violet pillow on the terra cotta leather chair (gives me a wee frisson of pleasure). You have some beautiful furniture, too. The ...

So sweet! Thanks for the nostalgia, too. I love the old woodwork and door. Hell can be a cinder block walled dorm, room, but this room has cozy charm. And I love, love, love the floral prints on th...

I had a roommate my freshman year in college who was drawn into comical encounters with tiny species. We were both very nearsighted---and bohemian, which included false eyelashes for a while. One m...

Get up, get up, you sleepy-head, Get up, you lazy sinner! We need those sheets for table cloths-- It's almost time for dinner.

Back-painting is easier than falling off a log, for heaven's sake! I back-painted a back splash for my stove years ago. I went to the hardware store and had window glass cut to size---as I recall, ...

J'adore that "zebra" rug! Where did you get that, Abby?

One word: eBay. Kazillions and kazillions of tiles in every material, size, and color you could dream of.

I can't get past the fact that the stepped garden structure is just plain butt ugly. Whew---and that apparently unused space under and behind it---buttressed by a stiletto heel thingie.

It's either amazing luck or pure genius to make that tomato-soup red formica table and ditto-color settee happen together. And the walls in that room are great.

Even I think this idea might be over the top, but what if you actually extended the stair walls all the way up to their height before the diagonals are cut into them, and put a ceiling over it, the...

First of all, I would kill for that room. Second, I think the architecture and style beg for dark floors.
