whoa - yes please.

iroh - when you have outgoing mail, you raise the red flag so the mailman knows to take your outgoing mail before delivering that day's mail - it's a standard postal process.

The color is nice but I think it might feel odd to stay on the rug while you walk down the hall. The tile is a little less than 20" wide. Also, the placement of that wheeled cart makes you step off...

Stay at the Ace instead. http://www.acehotel.com/portland

@slowdown - no way - I love the names too. There's a fantastic cool white that's called "Grape Expectations" that I love using. It cracks me up whenever I read the label.

At least half of my middle and high school projects involved some paper mache. I bet I could figure out how to make these, spending 50 cents on a newspaper and not $49 plus shipping.

It's an East Coast thing for sure, but seems to be more prevalent in the South. My folks live in Charleston and have the blue porch ceiling and the fans too (and don't forget the Charleston...

If my roommate's side of the dorm room looked like that, I'd ask for a transfer. Yowza. (Just teasing, though it is a bit much.)

bepsf - you would have to cut a larger hole and then put gyp board or whatever your ceiling finish is, around the fixture. Most of these types of lights also have a "renovation" version that requir...

The outer ring looks tacked on and even in these photos, it appears grimy. No thanks.

I agree. For me though, I typically forgo the material things all together if I can't or don't want to spend the money. On life experiences, I will happily spend the moo-lah to get to...

I'm not sure about cheaper, but I prefer this Japanese hanging system: http://www.nacom.co.jp/en/koreder/

This article cracked me up - the first interview was with a guy who spent $150,000 on his landscaping. Not exactly a poor man, eh? I do agree though - I love me an outdoor fireplace.

I think the "old & boring" and "fresh & useful" labels are from the designer and are more than likely just a marketing tool. It's not necessarily true but in order to sell him object, he cho...

I want to go to there.
