Faux ostentation of that magnitude--you can't possibly expect people to think it real--can hardly be compared with furniture you're trying to pass off as vintage. They really should se...

I doubt the antiques were worth enough that the value lost refinishing even comes close to the value gained in her enjoyment. That said, this is the first house tour I have actively ha...

Well, at least the lack of odd shadows would reassure you that there were no monsters under the bed!

I have my homeowners' insurance through USAA (whom I absolutely LOVE). I have riders for my computers/camera equipment, jewelry, and some art. They're worth it. When I dropped my out-of-warranty...

"Enter Movable Type" error requiring login to view the slide show.

Fountain pens don't even need to be expensive. In Europe, schoolkids commonly use fountain pens. You can buy a Lamy Safari, which writes beautifully, for about $25. There are so ma...

These are undeniably cool, but I look at them and expect them to dispense ketchup and mustard! I would be seriously disoriented.

Why not just use scoopable, flushable litter and replace the litter once in a while? I don't understand why you need liners at all.

All that furniture needs now is a good bedazzlin'.

Concern for the environment is also a way for middle-class people to feel morally superior to the upper-middle-class people who dare to have more than them.

Dwell isn't targeted to people who can afford the homes they showcase, just like Playboy isn't targeted to people who will ever actually hook up with a bunn-tastic women. I can't aff...

Libraries are wonderful. And let's face it, there are a lot of books in the world that ought to end up in landfills or, better yet, never printed at all. Those of you who are predicti...

I have had a Stearns & Foster pillowtop-style mattress for about five years and it's still awesome. It thought it was pretty expensive when we bought it, but it's better than any posh hotel mattre...

I find it amazing that people are bashing Serenity while Cheaper by the Dozen escapes comment. Also: put me in the "keep the boxes" group.
