Step one: put away anything stain-able and spread out sheets of plastic everywhere. Step two: get a cat There is no step three.

Since most of my family is in the medical field, I find this thing 'cute', but I wouldn't want it in my home. It kind of falls into the 'clever' decorating items that I enjoy looking a...

That room was featured in the magazine back in June 2008. Quote from the designer: "How on earth did you manage to find that carved latticework for the cabinets in the Moroccan room?

Um... WHERE can I find the FrankenDucky??? posted by lydia242 on May 29th 2009 at 2:56pm That would be the out of production Duckenstein from Rubba Ducks. They can be foun...

Wow, AGA says the electric one uses 273kwh of electricity a week. That's 25 times more than a standard range. I'll stick to BlueStar: http://w...

I found a couple that said they burned through 538 gallons of kerosene (heating oil) in one year with a medium sized one. At current NY prices, that's about $1480 a year to run one of ...

I would definitely take a pass on this home unless the price is just too good to say no. Budget AT LEAST $12 - $20K to replace this furnace and possibly all the duct work. We are talki...

Just a quick glance at the room, but it doesn't look acoustically sound for a surround sound set up. The racks on the sidewalls, the curved set up of the speakers, the proportions of the room (the ...

Well... dang. It says 50 sq m which is 538 sq ft. It really doesn't seem that small!

Also, tsubo isn't used for home size, it's used for lot size (and 40 tsubo is a standard urban lot). One tsubo is about 36 sq ft. Jo is the unit of measurement for inside space. A jo i...

I know what 500 sq ft feels like and I think just the downstairs is that. Great use of space, though! One of the links on the site has several different design options:

I don't know if I could do it (I need private space), but this is one of the best small apartments I have seen. I hate white, but it seems to do OK in this setting. A few years back, I...

At $4 a square foot, it's cheaper to just get a whiteboard. I do love this stuff, though, and I had two whole walls painted with something similar at my (former) job. It was wonderful ...

I love them, but unfortunately the year long unemployment, recession, 2 moves, wedding, going back to college thing has basically caused me to knock one digit off of any potential purchase.

Reminds of the stuff in the book "Pad: The Guide to Ultra Living"... I love it. Completely impractical. It's perfect ;)

The first thing that popped into my mind was 'subsidence'. Falling Water isn't structurally sound and has extremely serious water issues, but I digress. The home featured ...

Interesting, but I am not sure it's the best use of space. The Wee Houses are smaller and more "homey". Also, those pictures gave me a headache... ow.

That first one gave me an instant headache... ow!
