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...
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 ...
Sarahrae — Did you find the spray caps at a store in the area? I haven't seen anything like it and would like to try them on a project I currently have.
I think that you have to define redecorate. You can do so much with what you have to get o feeling of redecorating without having to make major purchases. I am constantly mixing things up in my hom...
If you don't like the fireplace area, you could put padding/cotton batting over the glass doors (to protect the doors and your kids) and then hang ceiling to floor curtains over the space for a dra...
The tile floor in my kitchen gets so cold that I have to use a rug especially during the cold winter months — and kitchen rugs aren't up for the challenge so I have a wool rug that covers muc...
I agree with the art suggestions. You will find that once you get some pieces that can pull color for all the various sources in your room that it will start to feel like a more cohesive space
I used the stick on floor tiles from Home Depot on my 3 season porch when I moved in 5 years ago and for the most part they have totally stayed down and in great condition (a corner of one near the...

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

Doesn't seem really green to me. In order to get water out of the tap, the entire vase needs to be filled. Then what, the water just sits there?
What an interesting place, I wish we has some sort of resource like this in Chicago.

big surprise on the redos being old -- cottage living closed last year.
