Magnificent, there's wallpaper that mimics this look for less. It was used by Victorians who couldn't afford pricey plaster. You hang it, then paint it. Tracy, if you're interested, google "anaglyp...

I'd think a bathroom would be too steamy for walls covered with newspapers or masking tape, either.

I'm bored to numb, dumb tears by all three. I'd rather sit in Pee Wee's Chairy and suck down my spaghetti carbonara than any of these uninspired choices.

OT, but if your stove is in a corner you'll want a backsplash that wraps around. Otherwise the side wall will get filthy. I agree with reb that the door mechanism on the Liebherr built...

The LG is awfully cheap-looking imo. A plastic box with a bad stainless door. If money is tight, I'd go for a simple white (and dimple-free!) counter-depth model before I bought a fridge trying to ...

In case anyone's still reading and happens to know, are these sheets percale or sateen? I really hate limp, floppy bedding. Sheets should be crisp imo.

Crate and Barrel, Mitchell Gold and Room and Board all have L-shaped sectionals in that price range.

Sorry to sound like the bitter fat girl here, but what's with all the gratuitous cheesecake shots on AT lately? It seems like you could barely enter the Jan. Jumpstart unless you were wearing paint...

We just bought a place in a former Mitchell-Lama complex. For about $696K more than this.

Bravo, Shauna. I agree with Cassis. The mirrored piece at Pier 1, btw, is a vanity for $300. This is a bigger, nicer piece for not much more. Mitchell Gold, hardly a high-end retailer, has one like...

P.S. For Like Ever posters must be banished For Like Ever. And Anna at D16, ita that it's all about the context.

I thought the article was a bit odd and got off on an antler/Art Basel-Miami tangent never to return. Where were the trends that have legs? A red leather chair brought forth by hypnosis? It's also ...

Furnished Quarters is VERY expensive. I got married in Prospect Park and guests stayed at the Brooklyn Marriott, which was much cheaper than anything in Manhattan and they gave us a group rate. We ...

Regarding IKEA: I like the look and I wanted to feel the love, particularly given the thumbs-up from Consumer Reports, the Michael Formicas of the world, etc., but after talking to many contractors...

Actually, the price didn't include the Durat countertops. Just the cabinets.

Regarding henrybuilt: I have a 9 x 9 galley kitchen and was quoted $30k for cabinets, and this was their entry-point line made with bamboo and Durat, their cheapest materials. I don't doubt that Ma...

JohnnySlimane, I'm betting the orange fabric ones didn't cost one grand a pop....

Paulmuscat, while it's true as Jane says a cork won't work, i once heard a noted wine expert advise just reusing a couple half bottles with screw tops for leftovers from bottles sealed with corks. ...

Mrs_P, no offense, but what's not to understand? People decorate their homes to please themselves, but also to please others because they entertain and make their homes public as well as private pl...
