haha, for the record, my name is allison, not avallant! LilyC, I know what you mean! Ive lived in other places about this size, but the open layout of this particular place (living/dining room) rea...

I have friends that lived in a GREAT old church for over a year. It was great for parties because the whole floor plan is open on the bottom (entryway, kitchen, living, dining) and then there were ...

PhillyLass, Yes that would be pretty hard to implement into a personal home, especially if youre going to have dinner parties... But I think the point here is that the hotel guests wou...

I dont know... this could be kind of hilarious in the right context. Maybe even a kids' room. I know I would have liked any kind of light-up tree in my room when I was a kid. Although, I see what e...

Seriously. What is going on with the duplicate posts?!? I have seen everything from good questions and look!s to house tours (found on flickr) over again! Dont get me wrong, I love AT, but it seems...

Pretty hideous stuff, I agree. But like "Lisa Hunter (Montreal)" I agree that you could try a nice thick matte paint before trying to do anything more drastic. You might be pleasantly surprised!

Does anyone know of a place in Minneapolis (or greater Minnesota) that lets you pick your own flowers? It looks like, from what I can dig up, a lot of farms in MN just do vegetables or are apple or...

the IKEA Lack selves are very similar except that they have solid sides (and the open backs). And they are easily painted over if you don't like their selection of wood colors, white, pink or black...

This would be ADORABLE for books/collectibles or an entertainment credenza, or even a entryway table if you put a fresh coat of paint on it (since it is not a "quality" piece of furniture). I would...

I would think they were cool in a gallery or airport or hotel... somewhere they would be a novelty, but nowhere in a realy house could i like them! If someone invited me over to their house and all...

Where do you even get something like that? Does someone make them in pink?!? Or did he have it custom re-upholstered? I need to know!

If you didn't want to go out and get a whole buncha frames right away, I have another simple solution that may grown-up-ify your collection a bit, without changing it! Simply take down all of the p...

They don't even show Minneapolis?!? I think Minneapolis, had it been rated, would be one of the top 10 walkable cities in the US. I know that it has the 2nd highest bike-commuter (year-round too, y...

Wow, thanks you guys! That definitely helps. Because I am not usually that handy, I think I will try fitting a piece of veneer to the spot instead of refinishing the whole drawer-front with it. But...

Yes. There is definitely a very good one, similar to the one you already have, at Target. I have been coveting it for awhile.

Oh, its such a small baby!

I live in Minneapolis, where we have some really BEAUTIFUL historic apartment buildings with original woodwork, clawfoot tubs, and old-world charm. One time, my boyfriend and I fell in LOVE with on...

Where can I find that green and white wallpaper on the walls?!? I already checked Jonathan Adler's Website, and it is not pictured. Anyone? Know of anything similar??

no way, i love the gold!

I am in Minneapolis and just recently drove almost an hour each way to pick up a PERFECT mid-century modern occasional chair for $20! A steal!
