I always make a list of where I'd like to go, and end up putting dots on a laminated map of the place I'm visiting. I pick where I'm going to start my day--but then just end up wandering to what's...

Last month I grudgingly turned my back on a pair of these chairs at an estate sale, and now you taunt me again? I hope I won't go Eamesless again.

It's actually very unlikely they'll open in 2009 at this point. While they've dug their big hole in the ground, less than stellar sales on their hotel suite/condo combination units have meant they...

You definitely get what you pay for at IKEA. I have a sofabed and chair from a line that is now discontinued that have made three moves with me and the only thing I've ever replaced on them were t...

There are also a number of tray systems available, so that sections of the green roof can be removed without having to disturb the entire roof area.

I've been reorganizing my closets, I'm finally letting myself part with a number of craft projects that have been lingering unfinished for years.

Amusingly enough, last year when looking for a new gym bag I ended up buying a stylish diaper bag--because it had a lot of great features, including the millions of pockets. So I'd love a new bag ...

That one is definitely Pottery Barn. I have the "cd rack" version, which I used as a mail sorter in my landing strip when I had a roommmate. I bought mine nearly five years ago--and even Pottery ...

I ended up coming up with this solution in the spring cure to both use a mail sorter that I no longer used and keep my cutting boards from cluttering up my counters.

Oh, we're out there, I have these secret dreams of putting all of my furniture on casters somehow. ;)

Thank you orangejuice. I think there are also certainly different reasons for setting a budget than simply not having the money. Currently I'm a renter, I also know quite certainly I...

I have been fighting for years my deeply rooted idea that if I can put it in a container and organize it--whatever the item is I obviously need to keep. The most eye-opening moment for...

I walk past the Seattle store daily as I go to and from my office--they recently put on display one of the Yang sectionals in a pale lavendar. While it doesn't suit my current decor (and the likel...

I end up keeping two totes always tucked into my grocery cart (which hangs in my closet), and a tiny one rolled up in my laptop bag or purse for when I just need something quick on the way home fro...

lindsey kathlene- That was the first thing I thought of as well. It looks like what they've done with their books is to create paper "book jackets" for them with plain paper--it'...

Where was that EXPEDIT desk when I was redoing my (mainly EXPEDIT) office area last winter? Damn you IKEA.

The flickr group is fantastic Lady J. I'll have to take a picture of my purchased set in a drawer--I loved (so bought it) but have nowhere to use it. I've been pondering figuring out how to cut i...

I've always been slightly mystified by the tolerance many parents have for picky eating. There are foods that I still dislike as an adult (and don't eat now because I'm obviously cooking for mysel...

I'll definitely agree with what people have said above that even if my home did showcase color in a bold way (which it doesn't, as I rent and have a limited budget), I'd seriously hesitate on putti...

Hear hear Wende. It's hard to forget big business farming when you're dodging tomato trucks in the Central Valley when it's that time of year. The bottom line is always going to be "...
