You're right on about the milkweed and Monarch butterflies. In fact, milkweed is the preferred food for monarch caterpillars--it's what my son's class always collects when they "raise" Monarchs. ...
I don't have the references, but I have seen on TV paint systems for laminate and melamine, which is basically what things like the LACK are clad in. I would do some internet searching. A good pa...
It strikes me as a belated and half-hearted attempt to reclaim home furnishings shoppers lost to Target and Ikea. There doesn't seem to be enough here, and certainly not enough style, to bring Wal...
You're both "wright"! (Sorry). Wright had a family with lots of kids in Oak Park, IL when he ran away with the wife of a client, one Mamah Cheney. He had Taliesin built in Spring Green, WI as a ...
I saw that picture and knew, without reading further, that it was taken in Dallas. Those Dallas ranches (I grew up in one) are quite distinctive. Interesting (unconfirmed) trivia -- my neighbor g...
Rustoleum makes a "lacquer" spray paint. I've used it a couple of times, and am not totally convinced it works -- lacquer to me always has a shell-like thickness to it which the spray paint doesn'...
This picture is a good example of "good" design, whatever that era, transcends the cliches of that era. I hate, hate, HATE 80s pickled and wicker, but the warm lighting here and the french provinc...
On the issue of being too hot, when we bought the "middle" level of Tempurdedic, the sales guy mentioned that the cheapest models do get hot. We have our mattress on the Tempurpedic foundation. I...
We bought the Tempurpedic about a year ago. Our previous mattress was at the end of its life and I was waking up with back and arm cramps (that I don't have during the day). My wife REALLY wanted...
We've been doing a LOT of work on our bathroom the last couple months. I often find etageres ugly and/or overpriced, and I admit I have a phobia about bumping my head, something falling on me whil...
Just to put this in perspective:
Light bulbs are powered by electricity. Electricity comes from power plants, and in the U.S., that means coal power plants. Burning coal puts mercury...
Hee-hee. My wife and I are in the process of fixing up our master bathroom. She really wanted to paint it a reddish-orange coral color (not at all dissimilar from the color in the picture), and s...

Ya know, for $225, they better be able to walk the dog, too. Oh, and be totally pee, poo and barf resistant as well.

If you liked Grand Street Gardens, then you HAVE to get on down to "City Escape" -- http://www.cityescape.net/CityEscp_HOME.html
Those light fixtures are 1960s all the way.

I knew it had to be Taliesin West. When I saw that unusual double chair, I thought of Olga and Ol' Frank sitting in it.

Yes, the 80s Trump/Reagan look is something to be wary of, but the lines and the brushed satin finish give this setting a nice contemporary look.
What do the blue figurines do? Oh, who cares!?! I want them!

hey bepsf, can you come teach MY dog to stay off the couch? and to not bark incessantly at my wife? Thanks!
