This movie made me angry. Kate Winslet leaves her dog in the care of some non-petsitter stranger as part of the house swap, which was irksome enough. But then Cameron Diaz decides she wants to leav...

There are a number of places that sell this same colored burlap, although not every place that carries it carries every color, and prices vary wildly. Search by the specific color name you want to ...

Definitely change the faucet, it's cheap and easy. Switching out that $10 faceted plastic-knobbed piece of crap for a $30 faucet will improve your quality of life like you can't believe. Same thing...

For me, it's not professional vs. amateur that bugs, it's that they've already won a previous AT contest. Shouldn't it be in the AT rules that once you win or place, you're done with all future con...

Schools don't use chalkboards anymore? What do they use instead?

I love that IKEA rug that stylefyles linked to, either color would be great in your room.

It looks like it's smiling! In the same vein as decorative paper/fabric on the glass doors and mirror, you could try a vinyl decal or a patterned privacy film. Or cut your own design ...

I can't believe that Jason has lasted this long. Everything he's done in every single challenge has been just awful. Really really awful. And functionable?! The first time he said it I was hoping h...

That dog is awesome! Hilarious photo.

I used to work at IKEA in the design dept long ago. We had 5 showroom designers ? plus the manager who also focused on showroom. I believe they had guidelines for the rooms: a room in X style using...

I don't get it?? The video is not the same apt -- sloped wood walls, carpet, round turret room.

If you're adding orange chairs, then the yellow needs to go. And blue and orange is a much better combo than blue and yellow (which always looks like an IKEA to me). A light warm grey on the walls ...

I third the Gallery Glass paint. I used it on the front door window of my last rental and it looked really awesome. The "lead" strips and the paint both have dimension so it looks real. And you can...

That picture of the egg separator makes me nauseous. Even though it's perfectly easy to separate eggs with the shell, my husband bought Yolky (because he is a sucker and can't resist ...

Thumbs up for the great writing and photos. And this place is beautiful, I'd love to see a full house tour.

Uh oh, there's a hat on the bed...

It's because ofthe entertainment industry, the huge percentage of freelancers like someone already mentioned. When I was carless in LA for a period, I could do all my errands easily by walking or t...

I've always been drawn to this curiosity shop style in theory, but in actuality it usually comes off as cluttered and dusty and kind of creepy. But this place really works for me, it's like my idea...
