Make sure your napkins, particularly around Halloween, aren't black. Have you ever seen someone try to mop up a little spill on something in light-colored upholstery with a cheap black napkin? I ha...
Didn't like the last one, with the cinder blocks, or the first bathroom, but I loved the rest of the photos. Especially that kitchen in the opening photo... wow!
I have friends with theirs mounted really high over a mantle, too, and I also hate it. It's very uncomfortable to watch. I guess people didn't conceive of TV's when they were building some homes! lol
Let's keep in mind that a $3,000 sofa is a luxury item. Any financial advisor who would tell someone that it's OK to put a luxury item on a credit card or deferred credit plan is not a good financi...
Let's say you do put a $3,000 couch on a credit card and you have a typical card with 18% interest and your minimum payment is $15. If you were to make the minimum payments on this card, you would ...
You're not going to like my answer, BUT, my advice is to save up and pay "cash" for the couch you want. In other words, don't put it on a payment plan, a "same as cash" plan or a credit card. The r...
As far as "advantage," omamia, I think there are several:
1) Aesthetics: pocket doors tend to be plain and look like, well... doors. Of course you can have anything custom made, but wi...
Oh, and one thing I would add to your list in place of one of the ones I would take off would be a lime press. Basically the same idea as a garlic press, but it's for limes. I suppose a juicer coul...
I'm in pretty good agreement with your list, except for the Veggichop (could change my mind if I actually used one, though) and the garlic press.
Salad spinners are essential for peop...
I'd place an Eames DCM, LCM, LCW, or DCW with one of those little, low LTR side tables there. A skinny, tall vase with something tall in it that comes up the wall a little would look nice, but that...
Another safe and effective method is the "Las Vegas Roach Trap." I don't know how keen I'd be using this indoors, but my entire roach problem is outside (thank God), although nothing quite says "we...
$850 for a couch isn't really scavenging, per se, but that is a pretty good price. I'm in Kansas City and am negotiating the purchase of a Room & Board Dublin sectional for about 1/4 of the origina...
About the only people who would be able to REALLY live in one of these things are those people you know who are NEVER home. They don't cook, they don't clean, they own some clothes and 99% of their...
I'll vouch for IKEA's Malm bed (and side tables... I have the ones with two drawers in them). My Malm bed has moved 3 times and it goes together and comes apart easily and in a solid fashion, so it...

Horrible.

That pipe bed is pretty cool. Plus, you can get up in the morning and either swing around like a monkey or do pull-ups! ;0

I like the hideaway office in #5. Cool idea. Of course, I would kill for the house/patio of the last photo! lol
I'd hate to see you do anything to the wood... maybe a runner, adding color with flowers or vases?

The Nelson bench is truly classic. I love it, too. I'm torn between getting a knock-off and saving up for the real thing. Always a struggle!
Their t-shirts are the BEST, so I would be willing to try these, in the winter at least. Not a fan when it's hot or humid out.
