OK, I can't help it -- I must know more about that quirky little (vase?) that looks like a striped sock...

This is flat-out idiotic, and VERY bad advice for any woman in the position to consider buying. Home ownership is the primary base of wealth in this country. People who do not own hom...

these look kind of interesting as a potential alternative shade (instead of paper lanterns) for my Regloit lamp - I have a question answered today on AT Boston:

Thanks for the comments/advice. For those of you who have actually seen this lamp in person, there's a metal fixture for the lamp that fits through the paper shade -- will other lante...

That grey tufted couch seems to be the one sold by Target for around $400 and by Urban Outfitters by around $600 -- I've been really hoping to find one used and *very* cheap on FreeCycle or Craigli...

Quiltmaster: amen! (I'd also add: Ebay, Craigslist and local thrift stores are great for tight budget decor.)

Wasn't this posted a while back with a dire notice that the family had been fighting a very imminent foreclosure battle on the cave - that no one would let them refinance? What happen...

"Again your point is not valid for Desgin Mags at all. The mag in question is a design mag, so your comment makes no sense in this context. Is your point valid for news mags? Maybe, but that is a c...

You added the moldings yourself? I've been thinking about doing that -- was it pricey? Was it difficult to do? If you have DIY ideas for cheap and easy ways to add similar box moldings to your wall...

This is AMAZING. I love it. Love it. Want to try to replicate it... add another to my craigslist diy luck wish list...

kiljoywashere, djs and bepsf: I wasn't talking about shelter mags specifically, but about newspapers and magazines *in general* -- which is exactly what I said above: "Yo...

"...stories about the people--mostly men--who live there." You've just described one of the biggest problems with most mainstream newspapers and magazines -- outside of the damned fash...

Update: just checked the IdeaPaint website and they're now saying they offer "dry samples" -- which, to me, doesn't sound much like a sample at all. I know what a dry-erase board is, I've had them ...

I signed up for a sample of IdeaPaint when AT first posted about it, but two months later I still haven't received the sample. I got an email or something about how they were running behind and ins...

Seriously? $15,000 for that transformation? That seems to me extremely wasteful. The main thing that looks different is the weather has put leaves on the tress. Other than that, there's new slate o...

Is this dialog box shelf available? I think it would be a perfect wedding present for a geek friend... Seaside, that's pretty amusing.

profumodibergamo -- Not everyone can spend money on proper nutrition... and it's a sad reality that it is much cheaper to eat unhealthily than to eat healthily. (That's why I get so annoyed when I...

What paint brand/color is that? It looks similar to the color I used in my living room (Behr, asparagus.)

My advice? 1. Decorate with what you LOVE, not what you think other people will like/appreciate/hate/whatever. You should feel happy and comfortable in your space, and that should hav...

Thank you all, so much, for your great advice and suggestions. Rolen the Great, I especially appreciate your canopy bed suggestion. It's not available at the World Market website anym...
