I don't have the slightest idea how to make it, but I wanted to mention that Tillamook also makes a cookie dough flavored ice cream. I'm not sure if you can find Tillamook ice cream on the east coa...

That looks just about perfect...what a wonderful place for a coffee on a quiet morning.

while standing around waiting in a kinko's, a friend pitched a similar concept. i think he should head up a kinko's design team because other than waiting for laundry, i can't think of a place that...

i'm in love....i hope the new homeowners won't change a thing.

A large floormat from Chilewich might be a good solution. They feel really nice and are made of a durable vinyl, so you can clean them easily (get hair out of it easier than most rugs).

good post. this makes me realize that while my kitchen isn't quite closet size, it's still in the relatively small size category. yet being open to the rest of my apartment, it definitely needs som...

looks like an efficient kitchen arrangement! i think it depends on the color palettes you choose for the rest of your home. if we're just looking at the kitchen, i think it would be nice to keep it...

If you don't need to have everything right at hand you could store them in old hard-shell suitcases. They would make an artful stack and fit easily under the stairs. I'm not sure what's in the righ...

I think a blue-gray, sort of a dusty slate color, would look really crisp and fresh against the white cabinets. The color of your countertop is quite bold, so I would put a lighter, more gray varia...

It may not be in your budget or schedule at the moment, but I would suggest sconce lighting down the hallway. It would be much brighter and softer than the current overhead light, which casts shado...

oh so sweet! someday she's going to see those photos and feel so lucky to have a daddy like that.

It's not very Project Runway, but you gotta go to Textile Discount Outlet in Pilsen. It's huge, and cheap!

PS- i'd love to see what you end up doing with such a quirky space! maybe you could submit a before and after?

looks like it's taking a considerable amount of your space, too bad. :( here's a funny thought for a funny box--make it into a little bar! if it's sturdy enough, it would be fun to light the bottl...

this sounds great! tickets please? :)

what a neat buffet! painting or wallpapering the alcove (whole thing, not just the back wall) would define its space. a tall floor lamp with a distinctive colored shade would look really nice. if ...

i agree with the former statements about the tray. it's a large enough ottoman that it could double as a coffee table. get a large tray to use for drinks, and put some favorite reading material on ...

is that healthy for the fish? :( i imagine swimming around between two close planes would be very unpleasant. i guess i've always felt kind of bad for fish though...

I studied Interior Architecture at SAIC (though I no longer live in Chicago) so I know plenty of great designers. Depending on how much work you want to do and what you're looking to spend, I could...

the current color of the upholstery, that frosty mauve, is beautiful! it's a rich color but it seems fairly subtle. for a couch of that size, in a room of eclectic pieces, i think it is quite elega...
