I don't know who Russell Brand is, so I'm just looking at an interior, and I'm seeing a pretty ugly space. Black [almost] alone doesn't equal goth. "Modern Goth" sounds oxymoron to me. Maybe I'm j...
French finish usually isn't actually pure shellac---it's shellac and linseed or some otheroil. The oil acts as a lubricant that prevents lifting of the shellac from the surface being polished. Thi...
I love the mini-decorating project of designing a table. We have an annual, medieval Yulblot (winter solstice) feast at my house, and I even include the food in the table design. What fun!
The third one is sooo gracious! The silver bedroom kicks ass. The first one, however, doesn't seem to me to work as a vanity, actually: the mirror's too high and the vanity surface is too clutter ...
Coincidentally, a few weeks before news of Gourmet's demise, I found a stash of several hundred Gourmet magazines in my attic--between 1960 and the 90s. They're so timelessly beautiful--in fact, th...

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...
Speaking of Patrick's Big Window Challenge, where has Patrick gone? We miss his sharp, incisive, witty comments!

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!

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 ...

OK, this isn't funny: I really, really, really NEED that faux brick wallpaper behind the lamp in picture 8. Please, somebody, know what it is!

I've seen it, too. It's very familiar. This is going to drive us all crazy.
I don't know---am I the only one who finds this makeover underwhelming?
