We dumped the TV a few years ago and couldn't be happier. I think we're a happier family after doing so.

Like the couches. I wonder if there's anything similar -- also if they have storage underneath.

Fabulous idea for a classroom especially if the pockets are clear.

I'm hooked. It's great. Let's see inside!

Try school and library equipment retailers.

When we built the suite for my mother-in-law, her bedroom needed a closet. We purchased the PAX system from IKEA and it has turned out really well. A couple of thoughts: 1. If you'r...

If you're in Canada, RONA has unfinished pine benches like the one shown in the photo. Not too expensive -- around $90 plus tax. I painted mine dark chocolate brown using Benjamin Mo...

We are lucky enough to live close to a family friendly small ski hill and have purchased a ski cabin there. We host many dinners there for family and friends (one time during spring break the kids...
