I saw a brilliant red colored broom in the same style a while back and can't seem to relocate it. I'm pretty sure that it was handmade in the same fashion but I'm not 100% positive. Does anyone kn...

I already entered but I just figured I would mention that it's my birthday :)

I want this please.

Is making something cost effective, as well as more enviromentally friendly, really "poor design"?

I'm so glad to hear the Aura paint works well.. Maybe a combination of the paint with a tool like this will really help cut back on waste and time. It would be fantastic if the coverage is just as ...

This won't help but it's related so I'll ask anyway... Has anyone used the Benjamin Moore "Aura" paints? Supposedly you don't need to prime and the coverage is supposed to be good enou...

Yes please.

This is one of my favorite aspects of leather, especially with modern pieces. I admit, that in the picture the chair does look a little unusual but I also think that it will only develop with age. ...

You could try using oilcloth cut to size instead. Oilcloth comes in many patterns and colors (mostly retro) and is a breeze to clean. Take a look at oilcloth.com for ideas.

It's hard to tell from your picture... Is the house white or a pale yellow? Is the front door seen on the right? Based on this picture I think I might agree with your neighbors. I lik...

DRCny - This is exactly what I was talking about above. I was checking back in just in case someone mentioned them since I had forgotten the name. Thanks!

I've been thinking about using the adhesive plate hangers but I'm still a little hesitant. Does anyone know if they are removable? Do they leave a stain/adhesive film?

Also - CB2 has this floor lamp that I think would fit the room nicely. Plus it's on sale for $149. http://www.cb2.com/family.aspx?...

I know this won't help with creating the amount of light you need, but I would consider picture lighting above your (soon to be) artwork. One floor lamp will light the space but I think the additio...

I noticed last night that there were numerous comments about what looked good on tv or in a picture. While I understand this is important, especially because of the final "prize", I c...

I did this same exact thing the other day with high gloss red and a convex mirror. Looks great.

The one shown on the top is incredible. I wish I had the budget for them though.

My adorable little macbook would look even better inside something like that. The courier bag I use isn't really the safest thing to carry it in.

You could incorporate some of the external architectural details inside through furniture, artwork or color choices. This might help the overall feel be a bit more cohesive. Is it possible to remov...
