I agree with bepsf --get a couple of nice, everyday tablecloths and use them until she's older. Oilcloth works well. My parents did this and their table is still in great condition. You mi...
The antique desk I got off craigslist a while back and my heirloom mirror given to me by my grandmother--it's been in my family for about 250 years. I also love my Bertoia chairs. I keep worrying...
We have a few of items (a rolling cart for the office printer and a bathroom cabinet repurposed as a liquor cabinet). I still need to make some slip covers for our living room chairs and reupholst...
robinRD, don't worry if you don't have a sofa--have your party anyhow! Just make your party very casual and let your guests know you just moved in. If you have some friends nearby, let them know y...
I can see why you wonder that, patrick (too), because you can risk paying way more than they're worth. Still, I support buying what you love (and can afford), regardless of manufacturer.
Rucy, I feel the same way--for that price, I want to pick my cities and stops. Fortunately, it looks as if they will soon be offering a "custom" print--you can sign up for a notification email for...
When I had guests in college, I realized that my old 20" tv that would flicker between color and b/w annoyed everyone except me (it was free, I was poor).
When I started dating my husb...
It looks like they don't have many larger sized manzanitas right now, but if you are willing to wait and check back occasionally, they sell branches up to 5 and 6 feet tall (at least they did this ...
I'd do what bepsf suggested. If you're willing to put in a bit of money into the kind of wood, you should check out manzanita branches. They are gorgeous just on their own and if you get t...
Kpaige13, I think if you throw some nice, bright greenery and warm wood tones in your table decor, you can avoid your table looking like it was set by a Suns fanatic. I think your glasses and runn...
Coralia, I just used photoshop. Sadly, I wouldn't be able to tell you any exact paints to use. I was just hoping to give Leah an idea of what direction she'd like to go.
Also, I agree with pokinatcha103. You could probably better decide what color to paint after you'd tidied up the room just a bit--there's a lot going on in there!
HeyNowTex, in my old apartment, I had a coat closet that my guests would use if it were just two or three people. For large parties, though, it was too small so I'd use my bedroom. I'm originally...
My friends have one of these doorbells--the yellow one to be exact (but in blue). It's too modern for my tastes, but it's very them and I love it for that. Plus, I never have trouble finding the ...
I'm perfectly happy having my guests toss their coats and purses on the bed. However, if I felt that strongly that my bedspread was worth showing off, I'd probably shell out a few bucks for this: ...
I've never posted a Wanted ad on Craigslist, though I've had fair success as a buyer and as a seller on their For Sale ads. It's free to post, so why not? I say go for it. If you don't get any ...

I like my solution: when I paint, I don't wear clothes that I care to keep paint-free. Works like a charm.

Posts like this really make me miss my very large entryway in my old apartment. *sigh*

Leah, I made a few images for you with the above suggested colors and a couple more right here .
I like those a lot and they probably last a good deal longer than my grass-headz guy (like the ones here ). I'd love...
