I think BlackFrancine's post made a very important point. We can say "oh, this thing or that thing isn't all that important", but to lose everything, all the bits and pieces of your physical life, ...

The original blue was prettier, I think.

That is a huge, huge improvement! Simple, modern, and it looks easier to keep clean, too. Good move.

Unless the law has changed recently, having a caravan won't change the effects of being cramped up in a car or having to pull over at rest stops - it is against the law to ride inside a caravan whi...

I love the reclaimed wood, but I like a banister. I don't want to die for style!

I forgot - if you go downstairs to our laundry area in the basement, you will find a half dozen Ikea folding hampers - perfect for organizing all of our laundry!

The bunkbeds in our sons' room are from Ikea, and there are several kids items in their room from Ikea as well (clothes hamper, colorful hanging mesh toy holders). The rest of our hous...

I think you can decorate your own private space however the hell you like. It isn't a contest.

Beautiful!

We've been eating at home more (always an easy money saver) and I just canceled my gym membership. I was going very rarely, and honestly, I just prefer walking to pretty much any other form of exer...

Sticking to the question at hand, I have some layered rugs in my living room. The room has hardwood flooring, and I have a large cream colored plain flatweave with a patterned rust/cream smaller fl...

My grandmother lived with us when I was growing up - she helped take care of the three of us while our parents worked. So my own childhood memories are of a multi-generational family. ...

Why doesn't a leather Eames chair stir up the same amount of angst and woe? Hide with hair stripped off = ok, hide with hair left on = no ok? Weirdness.

I'm going to chime in and agree with Griffin - did Mom ask for a style update? The place looks fine to me - not decorated to my taste, but then I don't live there. If Mom did ask for h...

I think painting the brick white (or a warm slightly off white) would look good, and be an inexpensive and easy fix.

Goodness, what a vile and disgusting post. Changing the subject, I have an Obama poster that I rather like, that I will frame and put up in my home office (I have other interesting pos...

The thought of someone who has lost a child holding a "replica" baby with a fake heartbeat just about breaks my heart.

I loved this place - small and interesting and very personal. A really quirky and lovely space!

Oh, this is so very lovely. Love the floors and love all that shelving!
