I have very clear memories of a particular house just a block or so from the house I grew up in, which had a high fence facing the street and a narrow gate; Halloween was the only chance we got to ...

Looks like so much fun! Cute tablecloth too.

I would LIVE in that bathtub. Fantastic! And the floors are so, so beautiful! They look so warm - they're practically glowing! as a fellow studio-dweller, I have to congratulate you o...

What a great attitude and beautiful garden! It's wonderful that you were able to have such a creative and lovely response to a pretty scary problem.

Really beautiful. I love the combination of greens. sigh. I'm curious about the water fixtures too! They must have at least installed a hose/faucet extension?

oh man, I'm so jealous!! Amazing! You'll be eating so well.

so sweet! I love it. I especially like the plants hanging on the swinging wooden gate.

Liddybird - I was afraid I would be the only one! ha ha And in a BEDROOM?! Too much.

I love the way it looks, and I actually slept on a mattress on the floor myself years ago, but now it just seems so hard to keep clean. When I see bedclothes touching the floor - especially that la...

so lovely! looks like a great loft. I'm sure adding colored fabric to the bottom would make it look more finished, but I think it also looks great as it is. What color would you use? ...

ARgh, surplusj, that's exactly what my problem must have been! should have thought of it earlier. Whenever I've tried this, they end up burnt to an unappetizing crisp, and it must be because they'r...

I'm sorry that this is not about my own vegetarianism, but I wanted to comment on Mark Bittman's "vegan until 6 pm" approach. I first heard about it in an interview about his book, Food Matters. He...

sooo.... I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but what are the advantages of using a pressure cooker? I know they're very common in Brazil for cooking beans, but what else would they be more use...

I LOOOVE this. The regency/gilded thing is not my style, but this is so gorgeous and posh. Amazing.

It makes sense to me. This is a great idea! Laser levels are so awesome. I used one to paint stripes in my bathroom and it made allll the difference.

So lovely. I love silhouettes. And the colors are great. I wish MY sister would come over and do this to my apartment!
