I too thought it was an amazing 1950s iron. As an iron, with an iron-sized price tag, I would totally buy this. As a rocking chair, not so much.

Not pricing items for sale is for high end stores where they're trying to alienate anyone but serious buyers. Yard sales should not take the same approach.

Conan's previous set in New York was full of retro goodness, so I think this is just a carry over of that rather than being an attempt to recognize a style familiar to so many Californians. Still a...

My mom works at a store that sells wine and the wine boxes are a great size for moving because they're all pretty uniform in size which makes stacking easy. Plus they're small enough that you're ne...

I took up quilting in February and have to date finished three quilts and completed a fourth quilt top that is waiting to be quilted. It's easier than you think if you stick to straight lines and g...

I always associate black toilet seats with schools and other similar institutions. If I had one, I'd probably want a sink with a foot pedal to turn the water on as well.

I organize my books by colour but I'm also a very visual person so I have no trouble remembering what colour spines the books I'm looking for have. Granted, I don't have a collection of thousands o...

These solutions call attention to the problems rather than disguise them.

"If given the chance would you use the kitchen eating nook for work? Do you already" The eating nook in my apartment isn't really big enough for a table and since I live alone, I would...

"Or place a teaspoon or two of the ground spices on a cookie sheet and place it in a 200°F (93°C) oven with the door ajar for 30 minutes." This seems like an egregious waste of...

Ajh, the sheets are the "green / multicolour" option, they just don't look the same in the photo.

I like the idea of an adjustable table but I don't like the colouring of the screw itself and the base is kind of ugly. In a different articulation of this idea, I could get behind this.

I thought there was a cork shortage in the world?

I didn't feel like most of these were actually hung all that low; they seemed well placed in context with the furniture they were situated near.

I think if there were more of them and they were all the same colour, they could look like a nice sculptural piece of art. Right now the blue one doesn't do anything for me because I'm not sure whe...

It probably would have helped if the picture at the top of the page had the before image come before the after image so that it doesn't look at first glance like they got rid of a head board instea...

Not digging the mismatched tables. It reminds me of Christmas dinner when you have to get out all the extra extension tables for a large family meal and invariably you end up being the person who g...

I was quite happy to be at Ikea once and witnessed a father and son talk about fitted sheets because I wondered if that was essential to their survival, in the hunter-gatherer sense of the word.

More specifically, it's the LUNS writing/magnetic board. Comes in "antique stain" and white. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/cat...

It's from Ikea.
