This post makes me feel so much better. Our place usually has a few pairs of shoes between the couch and the coffee table (where I take them off to get comfortable), a pile of "not really dirty" c...
I have to say that I am a "more is more" kind of person when it comes to Christmas trees. I feel that they should be dripping with lights and sparkly glass ornaments. I also can't stand color coo...
We have no dryer now but at least we have a washer- our old place had neither. We have to hang everything. For some things, it's fine, but hanging lots of socks and underwear gets old quick. Plu...
Though your kitchen looks more 1950s than 1920s, it's still very cute. I'd keep neutral with the countertops and perhaps do a beadboard backspash. It would up the cottage-y charm. A schoolhouse ...
I think the white is nice, I'm more concerned with the apparent lack of lighting other than the awful recessed lighting and the "bowling alley" furniture placement. I think if you really want some...
Most stoneyards also do fabrication, so you should be able to pick a slab and give them your specs and they can fabricate it just like a countertop. I know of a few out here on Long Island, but no...
I still really want an upholstered headboard, though I'm on the fence about tufting. I just want something tall enough so that I can sit up to read in bed and not have my head hit the wall behind ...
I remember going to the parade once when I was a kid. All I remember is being very cold. Our usual Thankgiving tradition is staying in our pajamas with the parade (and then dog show) on in the ba...
I'm fairly cynical and would have a hard time keeping a straight face with this. However, the shape of pretzels does originate from arms folded in prayer. Medieval monks in Germany (I believe) fi...
I prefer all of the "styled" ones on the left better. The ones on the right seem cold and sterile while I think the ones on the left seem comfortable and lived in with only a few things added. I ...
Looks great, and I agree about hanging something on the gray wall for interest. That white rug by the stove would maybe last a week with the way I cook, but hey, if you can keep it white, I'm impr...
Though fiber cement does have its environmental downsides, it is very durable and will last an incredibly long time. Balancing embodied energy or toxicity vs. lifespan makes a big difference. Vin...
Does anyone know how smelly this stuff is? We used something similar in our office once - it was a silicone peel off caulk- but it would give you a headache if you got anywhere near it for a few d...
I like this a lot, except for the floor. I don't mind that they painted it, but that pale grey just feels so cold and industrial. Somehow I feel that the floors, just oiled up a bit, would have w...

Here's one that was in Domino a while back and pictured here on decor8. It's a little more feminine than some of the more modernist ones.
Mine is triangular too. It's so inefficient for storage. Maybe we should learn to fold towels and sheets like they are flags to make them fit better!
We used Revere Pewter in our kitchen and we love it! It's nice and warm without veering into beige. Apparently this is the only photo I have of it:
I believe Trader Joe's sells a sulfur free dried apricot. They are brown instead of orange, but they still taste good.

Glamorous Eclectic here. Eclectic definitely, glamorous- I'm not so sure, but they got my #1 design challenge right: Organize!
