I think that either a nice palette of rich browns or deep greys would compliment your sofa color

Not to be a negative poster, but this is currently unavailable on Amazon

I would try this listing through e-bay... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=3...

Nice job! You should be really proud of your efforts

A pen/marker and some paper are great for making lists of things you didn't realize you would need. Your first aid kit -- for any sort of emergency. Also any other essentials that you might need fi...

A family member recently placed their private island up for sale... it's located near Sanibel and Ft. Myers Florida. It's one of the few privately owned islands in the area and it has a fantastic h...

Cannot wait for the day! I live in Chicago and although some neighborhoods have "curb side" recycling, it hasn't come to my neighborhood yet. I'm still driving to recycle.

Wish I could say that I found one of the alterna-litters to be a good choice. But my finicky cat (who is a twin to your russian blue) goes outside the box with anything other than EverClean. It too...

If you can make it up to Andersenville, I highly recommend stopping at the 5200 and the 5400 blocks of clark street -- Roost and Brimfield are favorites of mine.

I think a good coat of paint in a color that mimics the rest of your new place will make it "feel" more like part of your home. Also, there is nothing wrong in getting a sink that suites your desir...

I agree about keeping it but with a paint job -- either high gloss black or maybe even a graphite/charcoal/silver color

You may also need to try using light bulbs that cast a whiter light. Tungsten lighting gives off a yellow hue and a lot of CFLs cast a pinkish hue which can change the appearance of any color.

Love eating out in the evenings when the hot sun dies down. Unfortunately, it's been pretty cool here in chicago this spring so we really haven't had the opportunity.

I think that the one thing that will turn me away from a store, whether it's a chain or boutique is customer service. I have been having a TERRIBLE time with a couch that I ordered from Restoration...

I was so excited about this. No offense, but just got back from the Bazaar and it was so not worth the time or trip! Nothing like the NYC bodegas with new products and ideas -- filled with same stu...

There's a deli in nearby oak park (outside chicago) that serves a grill cheese made with swiss and harvarti on rye bread with grilled onions and garlic mayo in the center and it is outstanding. Oka...

Liane, the one thing that I can recommend is using a good primer no matter what shade of white you choose. Your brick appears to be fairly dark in color and the best way for your white to look whit...

I agree that you need a bit of a curve to go with all your squared stuff, but I think that you might need a larger circumference on the table -- look sort of small for such a large sitting area.

I think that the idea behind it is very creative -- but I think that the application isn't so great. This looks like it isn't really going to stand the test of time (not even a couple of days).

At least you are making the choice to collect (or not). It becomes difficult when kind meaning friends and family assume that because you have a pet that you would now like to be given things with ...
