i also have an anthropologie crewel rug. it's 5x7 and i've had it in my dining area and my living room. the material has held up well, esp as the living room area is higher traffic (though we have ...

A medium-size plant can provide warmth to a space and make it feel homey and lived-in. Also good for adding drama. Your rug looks cool. Is that a lime or spring green colored detail? L...

My bf had never been to Ikea and I had a short list of specific things I was looking for at the store. So, I convinced him that we needed to leave at 8 am to get to the store when they opened at 9 ...

In our bedroom. If only we had a fireplace to go with the cozy rug.... How difficult are these to keep clean?

suziegoombs --i'm doing the same thing. and i'm actually excited about it!

GA! I can't get into the slideshow and I want to see more, more, more! Way to go bold; I really love it. The info in your post on where you source stuff is also super helpful. Can any...

Alana in Canada --wish I could do your storage box shopping for you. Getting stuff with which to organize is the best!! ;)

Giving strength this week as made tremendous progress in the cellar over the weekend. Outbox is overflowing and BF is enthusiastic about decluttering! (This was actually the bigger challenge: getti...

Been to Abodeon many times and I love it! It's nice to see them get a plug on AT. Definitely fits with the type of stores and products that AT usually promotes. I heard the owner imports many of th...

Started the deep clean of the kitchen, which was accelerated by the fact that our fridge broke last week. This meant cleaning out the old one and tossing lots of food we couldn't salvage/eat in tim...
