Having a professional upholstery cleaner come into your home is ALWAYS the best solution. This is not a DIY project. The manufacturers of all sofas recommend that you do this once a year, to protec...

Umm, Crate & Barrel doesn't just carry Lee Industries. Where did you get that from? The styles shown are from McCreary Modern and Shenendoah, which are very good quality manufacturers for the money...

The added expense is the superior Comfort Sleeper from American Leather. There's no comparison to the traditional bi-fold mattress sleepers, as far as comfort.

I'm not sure I get the point of this. Considering that 95% of the population shops for their homes through these same reatail stores and catalogs, I guess it's the mix that's noteworthy. If y...

Thom's new book is great. Well put together with practical advise.

The Blake Lounge Chair from Crate&Barrel is very handsome, with a Modern/Asian look.

the rustic modern Big Sur table and bench, from Crate&Barrel, with the white chairs is a great look! Nice job.

I still can't tell if this will work on the old two horizontal bulb ceiling fixture. It doesn't look like it, but could be a great solution.
