I always do the chopping, and anything that has to do with raw meat...because I hate working with raw meat. and of course, making the freezer/fridge stuff. I usually leave my table clear, because...

We have this carafe that we got for our wedding. http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?order_num...

i think mono tables are great, but inre: that first photo...i do love the coloring, but who in the world would want that much STUFF on their table? i'd feel claustrophobic, trapped! and where does...

is there really such thing as retail glam?? other than that, these are gorgeous...love the milk carton one! some people have so much talent!

Treating all members of any sex in the same derogatory way (sexism) is senseless. Realizing that men and women are different is just plain common sense. At the same time, I think toke...

Clicked on this post mostly because of the picture. it is GORGEOUS! i gazed at it awhile before glancing over the rug information. those are two colors i'll have in my dream home o...

if you like the papasan chair, keep it! i admit it's a bit college-student-esque, but i have a black one that i love. i bought it when i got married. :) and it's always the first seat to be taken w...

great ideas! i just cooked up my last bag of cranberries with my latest batch of applesauce. i love garlands made with cranberries...it's so simple and old-fashioned! i also LOVE the i...

i also just spent 30 minutes on the Nettleton Hollow site! i've been looking for a perfect branch to put behind a chair in a certain bare part of my living room...looks like i have some great opti...

i don't know many smokers, so i don't even have an ashtray. i'd definitely provide something sturdy OUTSIDE, though, if any of my friends were gross enough to smoke. :)

These are absolutely beautiful! personally, i'd prefer to keep glossiness to more neutral colors...these vibrant blues make plenty of statement on their own. definitely agree with gingergirl. stil...

i love that apothecary jar! i almost bought a whole collection of these for our wedding, but decided to save $400 and rent some plastic ones instead. just rub it in... :)

...and crazy-patterned serveware never seemed to make sense to me...i couldn't ever find my food on it. it looks much prettier, and makes a nicer table in my opinion, when the dishes are more or l...

i can't stand plain white, but our plates are a mixed collection - Noritake deep charcoal with white on top, and deep charcoal solid black squarish, asian-looking plates. they are from the same co...

YUM! i don't like peppers, onions or tomatoes...but it's a great idea to add mangoes to the rice/bean burritos i make.

...are these dried leaves? or fresh ones you rotate frequently? a very lovely idea indeed...just wondering how/if they stay so fresh and green like that.

i too love the pleasantness and warmth of this home. it looks very inviting. but, omg, that kitchen...i really adore that long shelf above the counter, but...i could never live with that many THIN...

learnbydesign - i'm with ya! i expected it to be some beautiful yet ridiculous $500 thing, and...i was pleasantly surprised! looks like a great gift for my in-laws! :)

I love this home, but...what's with the photos? someone's either gone crazy with HDR or upped the 'shadows' bar in their iPhoto. either shoot in the right light, or allow the shadows to be part of...

I LOVE these neutral colored ones! This is a really fun idea!
