Careful with your geography - Scappoose is 70 miles inland.

I swear, AT profiled this exact same product about four months ago.

The health issues associated with natural gas (which are many and scary) have been documented in Alberta, Canada for the past two decades. Do some research - this isn't some scare campaign to keep ...

The headboard's dimensions look about the same as some of the super-big, custom hula hoops that have been popular the last couple years. With a couple reels of black grosgrain ribbon and some googl...

I love old wood bedsteads. Goodwill has a steady supply of low-quality or scuffed ones that make great painting projects. My last bedroom was a dark cream color, without much direct light. An old b...

As a ceramics student I realized that teapots embody a lot of the same dialogues as architecture; a good teapot is aesthetically striking while being ultimately responsible to hydrodynamics. I hig...

My old housemate used to call this Sushi Salad.

I still love the house tours, but haven't been loving the new slideshow set-up either. I don't look at as many new house tours, and I don't revisit as many old ones as I used to back when they were...

BruceS63 - think of it this way. Many people would snap up a $2,000 car and not blink twice about paying insurance, maintenance, and parking as well. Depending on location, a $2000 bike plus a few ...

These devices are not a new invention. 'Black bag' showers have been around since the 1970s at least. They are much cheaper than the one featured here, and are highly portable (REI sells a 10 liter...

Even in a small studio, decide on zones of 'personal space' versus 'public space'. I find that when I live alone it helps the rhythm of my day when I'm able to move through different spaces for dif...

I appreciate that this topic is important to so many people, but I feel that the title of the post was misleading, and that there's a pretty big difference between an how-to and a product review. M...

Speaking as somebody who grew up with wood heat, I just want to pitch in a little reminder. The shade of paint that will camouflage the mess created by a wood stove has not been invented yet. I'd r...

This space shines. I love the motif of art pieces hung one above the other your kitchen, bedroom, above the couch.

This is a great low price-point, high-impact idea. Like Wes and Kayla's wall of pots a few months back, it harnesses the power of multiples to great effect. I think this would be a goo...

Wait, you can "kill" PVC toxins now? Have I been too busy eating granola and not washing my towels to hear about a new cleaning spray or something?

The first cat to come along would knock out the glass of water, and move right in.

Depending how clean your sidewalks are, an office chair makes decent transport for street-find furniture. I once bought an office chair at a yard sale in order to get home the bookcase I also bough...

Prints aside (the hot pink bumblebee pillows aren't my favorite), the bones of this project are fantastic. Paper storage, work nook, and guest bed all in one.

I see this project is complete with Cat Pocket(tm) technology, to store those bothersome hind feet! ;)
