What a happy house -- I really like it. I've been feeling a bit down recently with so many of the white/neutral homes on AT, given how much I like color, so your place really inspires me. Great job...
Our house cleaner swears by this produce. She asked me to purchase a bottle and used it for cleaning nearly my whole house. It saves time in the cleaning process because it's not necessary to haul ...
When I went into labor the night before moving and couldn't be there for the move (not the way I'd planned things!), the thing that saved the day was ...
... every box was labeled with...
Take "harmful to pets" with a grain of salt. I have 2 cats and all of the above mentioned plants in my house.
One cat chews the dracena marginata leaves she can reach, so I got a tall...
I was an only child and had my own room. I don't remember wanting to share with a sibling, but I do remember having too much time on my hands for moping around and being solitary. I think it would ...
It seems to me that the main problem is too many competing colors. Understandably, you've invested time, money, etc. in the sofa, tables, and rug, so you don't want to get rid of them. I think the...
As a resident of West Philly, I'd like to add to all the great posts above that Philadelphia is the nation's leader in public murals (see www.muralarts.org), home to the amazing Barnes Foundation (...
Wait -- please correct me if I'm wrong about this, but I thought that all kinds of plastic bags (including chip bags, bread bags, frozen food bags, etc.), as long as they're relatively clean, can b...
First of all, congrats on your new home in East Nashville from a former Nashvegas resident! What a great neighborhood!!
Second, I'm a little skeptical about the opportunity to use the ...
I really, really love your garden. I used to live in South Dakota, and it reminds me of the beautiful prairie grasses and flowers that were able to thrive in that hot, dry climate. It's so cool tha...
Your wreath is already a nice start. I'd suggest painting the door an eye-catching color -- red is always a nice choice for a front door (though your choice would depend on the color scheme of the ...
I suggest a white standard shower curtain as a liner (you'd let it sit inside the tub) and then also hang a fabric curtain of the appropriate length for the current rod so that it would fall outsid...
Research, research, research. Knowledge is your friend.
Start with a book or class that gives you the overview of buying a home. Know the terms, the steps in the process, the main play...
What initially strikes me about this space is that it seems like a really adult-focused room, making it inherently less child-proofed than it could be: if there's little for kids to do, then they'l...
Hmmm. I like the ideas above but I'm really skeptical about the floor to ceiling curtain idea given a) the height of the doors compared to the height of the ceiling (the ceiling is sooo much furthe...
I wish my parents had asked someone this question before hanging their kitchen table light fixture. They sit next to each other at a round table, so it doesn't matter for them, but when I visit, I ...
I'm very skeptical. In my experience, herbs seem to like bright sunlight for most of the day -- basil, thyme, rosemary, mint, sage, oregano -- and do poorly if they don't get the several hours of s...
The tips in Women's Day are helpful, but it makes me sad that the title proclaims to the magazine's presumably female audience that they'll "make you look smarter" -- there's something depressingly...

Great post of an interesting new place in our city! Keep the coverage of Philadelphia coming!!!

Incorporate some mirrors to reflect the light that you're getting from that little window.
