I agree with patrick (too)--I think PB has decently durable furniture. Perhaps it's dependent on what you buy, but I've never had a problem. I bought my bedroom set (which I LOVE) from PB 5 years...
I like the idea of the #5 clock, but not so much the execution--it's more art than function. I prefer clocks that I can read from across the room with a glance. Since the minute numbers seem so r...
The blue itself is lovely, but the design is just too much--it takes it from fun to tacky. Too bad since it could look really cute without the design and some nicer hardware.
When I was a kid, my brother had a scorpion in hiding in his shoe--my mom was late for work and just wanted us to get dressed and didn't believe him when he said he felt something moving in his sho...
I would definitely go with color--I think that accent chairs should be just that: accents. And, IMO, you have a lot of colors you can play with--green goes with almost any bright color (think abou...
I can't deal with the texture of tapioca and too much anise can make me gag, so I had to pick the chocolate cupcakes. Fortunately, I love mini cupcakes. I love chocolate. Basically, I would have...
As a single pillow, I wouldn't want it, but I think it would be fun to have a decade full of pillows like that. However, it wouldn't be "$120 per pillow" fun.
I agree mmadden--these kind of inflammatory remarks really do nothing to further the discussion on the entries. I've been in many online communities and have noticed that simply and quietly removi...
Maybe I'm just not sensitive to the comments of virtual strangers on the web (a few years as a web admin may have hardened me), but negative comments about me and mine tend not to get me terribly u...
I always love umbrella stands and I have one for guests, but I never use it. I generally wind up hanging my umbrella in my bathroom over the tub until it dries because leaving a wet umbrella close...
This is a gorgeous room. My only real critique is that I'd like to see the red (or even tints of red) echoed in a few other places. You don't need a lot, but two or three well placed items would...
Those Bodum glasses are gorgeous, but I always thought they seemed too delicate for long-term, practical use. Since I started hearing reports of their exploding or imploding just a few weeks after...
I think you're right anne--if DWR had been down for a day or two it might have been news, but as it is I don't see the big deal. Sites go down now and then, and they're usually back up fairly quic...
I couldn't bring myself to pay that much for an IKEA chair, but then I wasn't in love with it. I figured that if I were going to spend that much on a chair, I might as well broaden my search. As ...
I tend to like going the ottoman-as-coffee table route because of the way I've seen it work in other's places during parties. It gives you more seating and allows for easier conversations, even in...
If anyone goes for that Van der Rohe chair, I wish you good luck. Last time it was listed (maybe a month ago), I tried for a week and a half to meet up with the owner who flaked twice before I sto...

I've heard that a little vinegar and water gets stainless steel sparkling, but I haven't tried it yet.
I think that higher chairs with a tall pub-type table and stools next to the railing would not feel too high--the table w...
