OMG - I know David from when we were kids! I am SO GLAD to see that what we thought was crazy in college (he tore up his carpet and painted the concrete floor - *gasp* haha) has matured in to some...

I am redoing a small dressing table now and need a cute stool to park myself on while I primp and preen (me? ha!) These are adorable - in a different color perhaps - but that price is ...

My most recent Worst Mess is in progress! Redoing my whole apartment, waiting to clean until it's "all done", with a child, her friends, a cat that sheds more hair than can possibly grow, our lack...

I don't have any, but not because I have an aversion to them or to dusting around them. I admire super cool little collections, but I am not one of those cool people that has cool collections.

You could sell it to me! I'll offer you five times what you paid for it and you can feel quite smug =) Or... you could paint it a solid, bold color based on your decor. I'd vote for ...

Dishes and laundry - period. If I didn't have either of those "problem areas" my house would be a sanctuary of calm and order. But as it stands, the washing up spreads chaos through t...

Blu-Tack or something similar (I use the 3M version) works wonders at hanging lightweight things without thumbtacks or tape. Funny, I've lived in earthquake country my whole life and I...

The best guests will run to the store if they notice that something's running low - like toilet paper - especially right before they leave. Even if hosts aren't left with a guest-mess, it's really...

I put a Vetrazzo countertop in an office space with a multicolored recycled glass backsplash and it was amazingly gorgeous. The installers sealed it and it withstood office-use abuse l...

Thank you SO MUCH for using my little living room on the Spring Cure Graduation post! It's really extra validation that I did a great job - there's nothing I'd change! It really is am...

I am EXTREMELY reactive to poison oak (as in any incidental contact and I'm in the E.R.!) and can feel your pain... Hire a hauling or yard service to take it out. Otherw...

You might be surprised at what some polish and new grout can do. Remember that fireplace was intended to be beautiful, but it only looks shabby now due to neglect. Polish the slate wi...

Also... I have a similar color in my new hallway but I painted the baseboards dark while the door and trim are white. It seems to ground the color well and make it seem a little less airy (if that...

I like the color, too, and think you should paint the whole room the same. The one wall seems out of place since the color is repeated nowhere else in the room. Lighting is easily cha...

I am the parent of an almost 9 year old girl in San Francisco. I grew up in a small NorCal town where my brother and I were free to ride our bikes anywhere on our side of Main Street...

Celery. Especially right out of the crisper. My pediatrician recommended celery and my daughter LOVED it. It turns to mush but the strings prevent it from falling apart and presentin...

You should have timed the entry deadline to be shortly after the end of the Cure. You might get a couple more entries!

Maybe a much larger version of a radiator cover? If you made it as wide as the fireplace it would also disguise how off-center it is. You may also have to make it taller as this doe...

I am so excited to get started! Need worksheets tho =(
