it is a wonderful restaurant; unfortunately, smith college is trying to close the restaurant so that it can expand its campus. i hope this doesn't happen - we would be a huge disappointment for t...

for a minute there i thought that was someone's personal purse collection and i felt a lot better about mine. sigh.

lovely oil paintings. nice home too!

do not paint your porch floor, especially if you live on the East coast. trust me, you will be scraping and re-painting it every summer. it looks great - but it lasts about 2 minutes.

i bought the ikea chair off craig's list for $30.00 and it is so comfortable and much better looking than the picture. i am not a big ikea fan, but this is a great chair and also comes in a black ...

it only took "years" to save up? not bad.

thanks for including western mass.

does anyone know who makes the leather chairs in the first photo. great blue walls - spectacular.

Since you are nice enough to share sources, where did you find the wonderful paintings of the African women advertisements?

Great house. There are so many nice light fixtures around. Try http://www.moonshineshades.com/index.php - they have some great choices. Al...

Great idea. I just had a carpenter come in and give me a price for adding a window in my living room and was blown away by the price. this is a much better option.

love it, i'll take second dibs.

Everything is lovely - thanks for sharing. I could really use that wire system you have behind the butcher block in your kitchen. Do you have the source? Many thanks in advance.

This is a great idea, but I would worry about having to clean the fabric. The IKEA rugs pictured are, I think, made of cotton, and cotton picks up dirt really easily. I love the look and consider...

I love my house and was very fortunate to purchase it eleven years ago when prices were still reasonable. The only issue I wish I had thought more about is location. My house is about 10 miles fr...

i had glass french doors that separated my living room and kitchen and I let my, then, young son and his friend paint on the glass. It was a project that lasted over 2 months (one panel at a time...
