This sounds wonderful! Lemon and milk do go together. Think lemon cheesecake, pasta with cream sauce and thyme--the combinations are endless. I'm sure the chicken recipe would be good with cream as...

Nice project. Would love to know what color gray paint you used. Thanks.

Thanks, Lindsay. I have a couple of (non-antique) wooden trunks in my bedroom (stained dark, not painted) and they're the only items I own that have that look going on. I've been wanting to refinis...

where to begin -- this is such a beautiful apartment! it's well-designed and well-thought out, but not overly fussy -- very welcoming and oh-so deliciously literary. great sense/use of color and li...

Is there any way you could make a rolling cart work? Perhaps something with hinges/leaves that could be expanded when in use, and minimally slim when "parked."

i think the color is fun and the couch is cool. but the couch seems to big for the space. it's sticking out beyond the doorway, yes? if so, is there anywhere else you can place the couch, perhaps a...

I lived without paper towels for a long time, then a cat, who is hairball-prone, came into my life. I have decided that when he ralphs up a hairball, I don't want to clean it up with a towel I then...

Would love to read this book. Also love the author's red ring.

I'd like to try this sofa. It's a happy piece of furniture. I love things that convert, or have more than one function.

Super-white toilet paper isn't very green either--it's usually been bleached, if it's manufactured by the big companies, and this is horrible for the environment. If you have a choice, look for unb...

I think this is a great loveseat. The shape is terrific and I love the small-scale size as well. Wish I could find something similar for myself! I recovered and old couch years ago and although I s...

very nice! i especially like the bed and nightstand--very cosy and warm, even with cool white. i've been thinking about painting my own boring pine bedframe white, and after seeing yours i just mig...

I've done this forever and I get lots of compliments. It takes away the anxiety (and hole) of pounding a nail, plus you can change arrangements whenever you feel like it. I've never found that I ne...

I've been thinking of buying this exact same fridge! Mine's about to konk out and this is just the dimensions I need. Delivery is always a problem because I live in a fifth-floor walk-up, though. B...
