It would seriously mess me up to kill an animal, but squirrels, I've noticed, are slowly moving themselves from the "animal" category to the "evil nemesis" folder in my mind. To me, summer = garden...
IMHO, he pink would be a real look, but it would sort of trump the unexpected beauty of the dark blue and black. If you want that particular beauty to be the real subject, I'd stick with a gray. (W...
Yet another vote for Lisa's idea of a floor-length tablecloth. I don't think you'd ever get it right with the proportions of table and chairs no matter how you refinished the table. They just don't...
It's adorable. (I was glad to get to the part in your post where you told us the stuff in it doesn't belong to you! Before knowing that, I was feeling despair. . . .)
I agree with the ...
Love the idea of painting everything Black Fox.
Very happy the candle thing's going bye-bye! One hates to criticize someone's choice in chochkas, it really needed to go.

Love love love love love. Everything about it! If I were forced to pick one thing, I'd say the way the color works with the mosaics and the hammock. But I also love the way you painted the urns; th...
What you need to do with the doors is to get rid of them. They're mismatched, and, as I recall in pictures from your previous post about this space, there's a lot going on in the loft space above t...
Right now, it's a big jumble of elements and needs to be simplified/unified. (What is that large, slightly crooked rectangle up top behind the pipes? What is that space up there? I'm wanting to sa...
hrhprincessfiona--
That is so cool! I just came inside from pulling up grass from between the pavers of the garden path---and here I had a blowtorch the whole time! Thanks for the idea.
Washing one's keys sounds like a fun idea--especially if you have some unfilled downtime after swabbing your keyboard with Q-tips and disinfectant . But, as God is my witness, the present generatio...
I crank a CD of bagpipe music---it sets me cleaning like a maniac. Clearly not a solution for those who hate the pipes, but for me (who loves them), it does what it was originally meant to do---pum...
Perhaps I stand alone in this bias, but if I see one more red dining room, I'm going to run amok. I especially hate a red dining rooms that are plopped into homes that have nothing to do with red i...
I "shingled" the glass shades of an ugly, bathroom vanity light with mussel shells. It was gorgeous. Not so much the shattering of shells in the porcelain sink beneath when the hot glue softened fr...
I think you love your green paint color, so stick to your green and white plan, but I also think a previous comment's suggestion of light wood flooring is a great idea, especially if you use butche...
If you blow up the picture to a really large size, you can see that the walls aren't really just one color---glazing has happened. (Look especially at the protruding corner to the left of the windo...
I have a bunch of early 20th C metal floor lamps that I've always wanted to put out in the garden, but I've never figured out how to "weatherproof" them so electrocutions don't take place on the fi...
Love it to bits. The architecture's wonderful--so full of interest. The tables your father made are to die for! IMO, they stand for what's great about your place; serene quality. Nothing screams t...
