I used to collect banners from museums for a "donation" until Better Wall took the opportunity away from me. Now they clean them (30 mins on your knees, scrubbing), add hardware ($30?) and charge 1...
don't be fooled by the pretty picture, if you follow the instructions to a t, you will end up with burnt, black, spooky, but inedible lollipops! At least we did. Martha Stewart let me down with her...
I remember reading about the birch/white combo malm. I think it was a hack job with wallpaper. Search the archives.
I did my measuring and decided that Hemnes was a better option for m...
The pillows on the house tour look like the triangular Thai pillows. I brought back two smaller ones from Bangkok a few years ago, just to find them being used at every Osha Thai around the city. M...
beautiful house! It's how I *want* to live :)
can you tell me where your dining table light is from? I chuckled when I saw that you had to resort to bringing the electricity from the ...
I'm about to hang a giant poster above my bed. In order to save my head and lots of $, I will get it mounted and framed with no plexiglass or glass cover! My room doesn't get too much sun, so fadin...
I also love Tomales Bay and have been there enough times to know that there is no need for antique skis in a cottage. What are we, in Tahoe? Stuff thrown in to make it seem cozy without making any ...
I guess I'm a marimekko virgin. I've only seen the prints at Crate and Barrel. Are the bedsheets/pillows in the photo also Marimekko? If so, where would I find them?

In general, I am indifferent to brown rice under my curry etc, but when it comes to the following combo, nothing but brown rice will do!
Grilled/broiled salmon on top of brown rice, some toma...
I'm lucky to live in San Francisco where the garbage guys pick up compost every week because I have no garden to compost to (although maybe with years of composting I could make enough dirt to cove...
I also found that buying good carrots to start with makes them last much much longer. I buy the thin and young ones that come with their top leaves instead of the old crackly ones at the supermarke...
Doublek,
I have the Olivia crib which I love but I think the color of the wood is a bit more red than the dresser that you chose.
By the way, according to Baby Bargains (my bibl...
I'm going to attempt making mark bittman's chocolate souffle tonight and bake it during my v-day party tomorrow. I hope he's right about being able to make it ahead! I figure in the worst case it j...
thanks for the list! Of course I've tried to put my sandwiches is tupperware, but the way my husband piles on the ingredients, they never stay together! Maybe I can put a frilly toothpick through l...
interesting comments on keeping the shelves shallow. I'll have to think about that one!
I wasn't considering MDF because the one plank I saw at Home Depot had a giant "this product con...
I recently traveled through Tibet and drank gallons of hot tea boiled in kettles with solar panels. With the elevation and clear skies of Tibet, they could bring a large kettle (about a gallon) to ...
