I love your garden! I live in a townhome near Washington Park in Denver and my neighbors and I are getting close to having a maintenance free garden area in our central courtyard. I love your pla...

I'm jealous of all the 10 foot ceilings. I have 8 foot ceilings throughout my house. And not one person has voted preferring 8 foot ceilings (including me).

I agree with suzy8track - it would be hot if the guy came with it.

I too have 80's bathrooms - 3 of them, although my vanities are all oak (VERY popular in the 80's) with marble one-piece sink/countertops. Fortunately, the tile is an off-white and the tubs & toil...

You did a fabulous job and your chairs are gorgeous! What color stain did you use on the wood? I'm refinishing a 1950's desk with atomic legs. I bought a walnut stain and want the ...

I have to say 70's too. The dishwasher wasn't a prevalent feature in most kitchens until the 1970's.

My home is one of nine 2 and 3-story townhome units, with the two units created from a Victorian-era house built by a wealthy banker in 1890. In the early 1980's, an architect and developer got to...

My guess is the 2000's - the mirrored dresser, the leopard print chairs - all scream Hollywood Regency revival from a couple years ago.

#4 is my favorite too. Although the purple door works, it would look better in red.

I look at real estate listings all the time for decorating and design ideas. A realtor wouldn't install Flor tiles to a wall or add custom built-ins to a house for sale, so most of my favorite fea...

I don't think Freecyle is for the needy only. The only rule is that the items offered must be free. I've had no-shows, but usually you only have to move to the next person on the list to get rid ...

I ran across an idea awhile back for something call "Safe-Snap". It's a thin track that mounts to the ceiling or wall. They sell a tape you can sew to fabric with the doodads that slide into the ...

I bought a similar 1950's desk on Craigslist a couple months ago for $50. It was painted white, but was easy to strip, and the underlying wood is mahogany. A gorgeous piece for about a $70 invest...

I like the idea of the bamboo box mounted to the wall. You could mount 3 of them - maybe with one upside down as a shelf to hold a small vase of fresh flowers.

Personally, I think the brushed finish would look better with your stainless steel appliances. But, if you want to go with a polished chrome faucet, then definitely use polished chrome cabinet har...

Genius!

I LOVE your console. Where did you get it?

I only look at ads with photos. Also, do NOT take photos with your cell phone! And I agree about the weird angle photos...they do nothing to represent the piece you're selling. And PLEASE clear ...

I'd go with a color in the veins of the marble - either a brown or dark gray. By the way, what color are your walls painted? It's the exact neutral I've been looking for - not too col...

I was just cruising Craigslist and found nearly identical sofas, and TWO of them - $800 each or $1500 for both. I love these, too! Here's the link - maybe the person who posted them c...
