Thanks for sharing your trip, Maxwell! I'm envious and looking forward to seeing more!

Hey gang– this gorgeous space is in Melbourne, Australia, so I bet'cha the plants will be just fine. ;)

Cassis– My girlfriend said that her counters are epoxy resin, although I know you could use soapstone, too.

jfinteriors, I have friends who used just that countertop material in their uber-mod kitchen and they work beautifully! It's def. one of those materials that can take the heat (I couldn't help it) ...

Stoftey, I love that you've got the inside scoopage! The lit Obama banner is BRILLIANT. And I love that Casey and Rob are so politically-minded. Oh, and I love the space. And the dogs. And that kit...

No Josh, you're not alone. I space plan with Excel, too. Love your space! Cozy and stylish!

Jay, I've always loved your houses, but I haven't read anywhere about whether you have extra storage space anywhere? Does everything you own truly fit in your teeny-tiny house?

I used to use Dr. Bronners for everything body-cleaning related (including mouthwash! Refreshing!), but my hairdresser smacked me over the head with her comb when she found out I was using in my ha...

Excellent use of this eensy space! I love that your furniture isn't so aggressively large, but you managed to fit a lot of it in there! Love, love, love the art!

Are the white boxes under the windows heater covers? I'm wondering if you might be able to DIY a built-in look desk there and shift everything else over toward the door?

Oooh, this is a delicious thread! I've run into it myself. The most recent SO and I found the best solution -- talk about it up front. We divvied up the chores by "you hate doing this most, so I'll...

You are BRAZILLIANT, scmtngirl! Thanks for the tip. I'm SO doing it!

Here you go! http://www.jumpstarttogreen.com/ Great idea, btw.

That's a superFUN colour! Go for it! You can always reupholster the chair (Curbly.com) later on if you decide it doesn't work for you.

That is WAY fun! Love it!

I've always been partial to understair drawers or closets: http://www.diynetwork.com/diy/hi_storage...

While this blog entry may seem a little harsh to some, I think it's a helpful reminder. I hope this helps someone reflect on their space and make a positive change.

Love it! I've never seen anything like it, but could see this painting technique utilized on all types of architectural styles. Thanks for sharing!
