Photos. The crux of my storage problems. I have several boxes full of family photos after I sold and cleaned out my mother's house. Couldn't bear to part with the family history and plan to scan...

A good question might be whether it was painted before or after the new owner bought it? So many real estate shows are always telling people to go "bland" in order to make a sale because a buyer c...

It was always a mess when I had a bagless vaccum. Never again. Disposable bags for me.

I grew up in a 1950's suburban home and we had a laundry chute in the bathroom down to the basement which was only somewhat convenient. It wasn't directly to the laundry area and it would often ge...

I've been reading (on blogs) and hearing on cable recently about the sad demise of so many publications in the print media. I find it distressing and this is no doubt symptomatic of the NYT own di...

I'm not sure why the "chocolate laminate" hating? I still rather like it and what isn't "laminate" in this price range? When they've tried introducing other wood tones they haven't seemed to be s...

Once again congratulations to Patrick and all three designers. Very good job done by all.

Well, the final voting totals I'm assuming on the main contest page appear to have come down to a close contest overall with a narrow lead to P2. Congratulations to all!

I guess I'm the only one who was reminded of Hogwart's Boarding school by the wall of empty frames. It is a night out on the town for the magic portraits! ;)

Suddenly Patrick has a fan club!

This sounds like fun! Best of luck to all of you.

Many years ago I was allowed to pick the color for my bedroom and I chose a cheery somewhat pastel "sunshine" yellow. Whenever I visited my parent's home it always surprised me how both mood brigh...

Patrick (the other one), So that's your secret! Yes, I definitely think hand holding could help, just be careful with the letter opener ; ).

Great post! It's also funny how the emphasis on the show's whimsical world contrasts with the bizarre murders the characters are attempting to solve. Such a contrast from so many current crime dr...

Just recently bought the grey Felicia throw from Ikea. Very soft and cuddly and you can't beat the price.

Snugglitas, Nate has discussed some of his personal life on Oprah's show. Fernando was his lover/partner. They were vacationing a few years ago in southeast Asia (sorry, I forgot the exact ...

I just tried stopping by there at lunch today, but its not open yet. Picked up the catalog and they have some nice looking pieces though not particularly my style. Especially liked some of the la...
