As soon as it gets cold enough here in upstate New York, we rotate containers of frozen water between our back yard and the fridge, figuring that the fridge runs a bit less if we help it out that w...
This also brings to mind the time that I got to see Andy Goldworthy speak on campus - I was very surprised at how vitriolic and petty he got when talking about his work. At one point, he put up a ...
We just saw these in the store two days ago. One thing that doesn't show in the pictures is that these are really deep, almost day-bed size. The brown corduroy is the only fabric that they were s...
I agree with all the above posters who said that they only buy Ikea items with the intent that they will last. I love my "Urban" chairs with a passion and wish that I'd grabbed one in the beige co...
I agree with all the posters above who warn against painting the cabinets. It is a LOT of work, and if you don't use very specific paint and spend a lot of time making sure it cures properly, you ...
If there is room for you to actually get your car in while leaving that much distance, I'd just hang a tennis ball from the ceiling that hits your windshield when you come in to the correct spot. ...
I agree with Vicadin - even if you don't like the look of the building, if everyone there did a different closed-in-balcony project the place would end up looking really messy and it would probably...
I hope they have some rebar in there - unreinforced brick performs pretty poorly in earthquakes, and this is right smack in the middle of an area with pretty high seismic hazard.
In her home tour she says she got it at the Alameda flea market for $40 and describes it as gilded and Italian. There are a couple shots in the home tour where you can see it close up.
Re: investment value - If the ebay chairs actually sell at that price (which would surprise me), that's still less than $200/chair and less than your average chair at C&B or similar stores. My poi...
Our floating floor planks have held up to a season's worth of muddy, salty boots in the mudroom, where we weren't always really quick about wiping up puddles. Our biggest problem is that the first...
We did ours - I found out that floral glue is your friend! We got everything online since we are rural and don't have any floral markets nearby. Turned out well, except that two of the heads of t...
I get disturbingly excited when I see the big blue and yellow sign come in to view. We live 4 hours away from one and going to Ikea stores around the world has turned in to one of our "things".
This reminds me of the time that I shared a bedroom with two other girls in college - it was a big room and they had the outside part while I had my bed in the closet. It was tremendously cozy and...

How about some of that rubberized paint aggregate meant for fancy garage floors?

Am I the only one who thinks it's fun when I have to climb over hubby to go anywhere? Guess we're still in the honeymoon phase.
I'd love to see a picture of the full set on your bookshelves - they are really beautiful.

I think most of the entries weren't actually made - they are just CAD renderings and didn't require that the designers have a set of samples.
