We have several Tofbo bath mats around the house in various colours. It's a nice way to create an area rug (we place them side by side, or end to end) that you can lift and plunk into the washer. ...

I dunno...Can beers "butterfly"? We shall see.

I think if I were to have done this myself with items around the house, I'd say it was cool, if a bit...weird. But for a commercial/artistic product, it looks a bit too *tight*. Maybe if the item...

We caught an exhibit of his work last summer at the Centre Pompidou. The mobiles are amazing, playful, and dance so well in air currents. His wire face sculptures are even more incredible, althou...

This will be like coming home again. When I was just a kid, around 12 or 13, my best friend and I would oh and ah at the windows of DR and swear that one day, we would have a fabulous apartment wi...

This was the subject of conversation at our table this morning. We've given up.

I'd keep it. It looks nice.

My husband has his room in the house to do with whatever he wishes: huge honking tv, chairs you can sleep in during a marathon of Sunday football, and side tables for sandwiches and drinks. It act...

For me, it was the start of a life-long obsession with home improvement and renovations. I used to watch it when I was in high school, always dreaming of the day when I'd buy an old house to fix u...

Trying to strip our woodwork. We ended up stripping the varnish off the floors, nearly poisoning the cats, and ended up painting anyway when it was discovered that various pieces of the wood had b...

This company carries a large selection of mid century furniture parts: http://www.swivel-chair-parts.com/index.html

I was just at Crate and Barrel last week (I was prompted to visit based on a sale notice I received in the mail) and noted many, many new items. Although, most of the new upholstered furniture pie...

I see these quite a bit at the local Salvation Army. They usually charge about 15-25.00 each, depending on the condition

With the state of the economy, our environment, as well as the political climate of the world, shouldn't we try and make do with what we already have in our homes? Avoid "trends" and acquire beaut...
