Their 365 I think it is pepper mills. They are fantastic and use ceramic grinders and last a while, I've got 2 and they are now several years old and both work fantastic. I bought the ...

And I should add, I will play Christmas music much of the time up through Christmas itself, once Christmas is finished, they get put away.

I love the holidays but going full hog BEFORE Christmas is just too much. That said, if one is doing a major yard display, those can take up to a MONTH (sometimes more) to get set up but please don...

And I should say that the first credenza is fabulous, so are some of the Blue Dot furniture, as well as the Eames bookcase and their coatrack are all great ways to color block and I happen to like ...

I haven't seen the documentary but do like the idea of color blocking, if you investigate modern painters, many of them utilize this idea in their work which is in a sense, color blocking, Piet Mon...

I am lucky in that I have a bulk import food place and you CAN buy spices in small qualitities, ie, a small scoopful will only cost you around 50-60 cents, rather than the $3 for a 3oz bottle and I...

Sad that they decided to jetison their old stuff when they moved in as I'd have wanted to marry the best of both parties so some history was kept in the marriage of 2 into 1 space and even though t...

First off, it's national code to have multiple paned windows that's insulated, and I bet these are argon filled and this code's been around for new construction for YEARS so that should not be an i...

Very cool indeed and I love their basic design esthetic, a bit mod, yet there was restraint and whole place just looks wonderful and I bet if you parents were still there now, a few minor changes c...

And I should mention we had a kids table too when needed throughout the years.

Oh the memories! Growing up in a family of 6, 3 older sisters in Jr High/HS age and friends, during thanksgiving w/ good friends at the time, they'd come over and we'd "extend" the tab...

What a charming place even though it's definitely not my style at all, which leans more modern, but yet is eclectic as well. That said, I do agree that a little judicious editing in ho...

Don't about illegality of it but I"d not put it OVER the bath, but in the center of a room, sure, and you need to ensure it's properly secured to the celiing, and that means the fixture box needs t...

I love vintage phones myself and have an early 80's vintage touch tone yellow trimline at my bedside. Unless rotary dialing is uncompatible, I don't think VOIP should be any problem a...

Very nicely done house and I would agree, a tad too brown toupe for my taste but it is a nice space overall. I think a more lively color in the kitchen would help there and perhaps a t...

One thing to remember is never wash things like ball caps WITH the dishes, do them separately. My Mom will often stick her sink sponges in at least once a week to do a thorough cleani...

Indeed, walking around your city is fantastic way to get to know your city and I've become one with Seattle as I walk over the years I've lived here. And it's amazing to see the change...

I have been contemplaing figuring out how to do this via computer but have not thought too hard on it yet but have done string art in the past and may try just that again, Have always loved the loo...

Sadly I think it's all too common to not dress up for a nice party even when told in the invite, but also, leaving it vague may make people not even bother. I'd say, something like sui...

Love old, vintage neon, especially that green once used (where the coating itself is green, I think as industrial art, it's fabulous and in many ways evokes a bygone era. I like how n...
