I actually like your backsplash tiles but you have to live with them. I agree about either painting the cupboards or stripping and staining a different color. Painting would be simpler. I agree tha...

I'm in a basement apt., last building on a dead end street with a park outside my door. The first floor neighbors have been broken into three times. My dog Nora is much louder than her size warrant...

Unless the piece has particular value in it's original state then do what you like. It's yours. Make it so. I think the only issue is how to do it properly without mucking up the fabric. Also stron...

A friend has a Stressless. I want him to give it to me. That is a chair beyond the beyond. Only problem is that sitting anywhere else would be ruined. They do have a rather architectural look, or o...

Table, brilliant.

I like the jackhammer suggestion. Seriously. How about an overhead trellis? Morning glories are a super annual that grow very quickly and will fill in a trellis in a month. Get lots o...

If possible you can do a true loft, from wall to wall the width of the room. Also makes the loft space a bit more like a room.

Beautiful chair. Restore it. Then get an inexpensive slipcover to protect it till Andy isn't anymore. Get a cheap sofa to live with till you can afford a better one. And...

I feel like an idiot. I don't get what the doors up high on the wall are open for, or to. These aren't tables, surely. But they look like the inside is nearly flush with the wall. Can someone clarify?

Consider looking at salvage yards and Habitat for Humanity stores if you have either near you. The Habitat store near me has all kinds of kitchen cupboards, some taken from places being renovated, ...

I love the idea of tomato red but you would have to love that much saturation in that space. I like the idea of some shade of blue. Perhaps a blue with green tones, or vice versa.

This is a great idea. I am 5'10" and the worst is doing dishes. I wish there was a way to raise the damn sink. By the time I'm done I feel absolutely hobbled. And bathroom sinks, fie.

I love the doggles and the bowls. I would not trust the safety of any finishes made in China. Just a consistently bad record. Scares me.

Yes yes to Thorndale. The most fun wedding I've ever been to held the reception in the basement of the church. No windows. Minimal decor. The couple had little to spend but lots of love. It was a ...

Fwiw, I have read that concrete does not have a very good green status. I'm not sure what does, tho I spect if one were to track down remainder pieces of granite, wood or stainless it would be at l...

How many millions is the property selling for? Curiosity only. I save pennies to turn in at the bank.

And tell him if he's gonna smoke inside he at the very least has to open a window to air his space out. And get a weather strip for the bottom of his door to keep the smoke from seeping in. Drastic...

An air purifier won't get rid of the smell. It will clean the air somewhat. If he smokes inside the smell is going to permeate everything. You can be such a shmuck that he stops smoking inside or j...

But what are those little yellow arrows pointing at? I'm assuming it's his humiliation. The whole thing is hilarious.

Yeah, the Pottery Barn throws are not being offered. Is this a repeat article?
