I used to feel that way about Tide. Powdered Tide. Because that was all my mom ever used. Then I went to college and everyone had liquid detergent in the laundryroom. So for years I bought liquid T...

This house may not be much to see, but it's worth it to go. This was by far the most knowledgeable house tour guide I've ever had. It was just me and my parents, and we're all Wright freaks, and th...

According to the stock photo link, it's Berjaya Times Square, Kuala Lumpur. Amazingly, four of the levels (and their escalators) are cropped out!

I like the wood, so I wouldn't paint the cabinets, but I really don't like the hardware, and I imagine trying to open a cabinet door by pulling on the MIDDLE is kind of a pain in the neck.

I hung my curtain *inside* the closet doorway, so the cheap tension curtain rod it's on doesn't show at all. I used two sheer panels with embroidery in colors that complement my paint, and I think ...

No. For one thing, my childhood consisted of moving every two or three years (army brat? no. AT&T brat? yes.), and the longest-serving home of them was the last, and therefore the least "childhoodi...

I keep them in a tall sealed glass jar full of high-concentration isopropyl alcohol, and then when fireplace season rolls around, use them as firestarters. They burn for a lot longer than you might...

I instantly like them!

All I can see is books and glasses and DS styluses and goodness knows what else falling down between them. I already lose enough crap behind and under my bed. A new crevice is all I need.

And now, six weeks later, it's not even on the Ikea website. Why is it so hard to buy this couch!

I wish my apartment had ceiling fixtures! I can't remember the last place I lived that did.

Is this the new version of the FÅGELBO? It looks a little more tailored and is really, really tempting.

Mantel mantel mantel.

I LOVE that ottoman. I don't usually love things on AT as much as I wish I did, but that ottoman is wonderful.

This stuff looks ideal for cutting up and framing, something I keep seeing on TV and in magazines and have been wanting to try.

I second the Strikt boxes from Ikea. I use them in my bathroom in purple and brown, inside a white shelf, and they look great. Target also has great-looking black "leather" straight-si...

Knife block that also holds oven mitts. Very tall olive oil bottle. Spice rack. And across the back, the extra shelf from the cabinet above the fridge, which it turns out is a highly d...

The stuff on the rug (not the table) looks perfectly natural, although not quite fitting my style and definitely not fitting my living habits. What gets me is how the terrace/balcony d...

I was trying to figure out why "Howard Miller Clocks" sounded so familiar ... this is the brand they always give away on the Price Is Right! :D

I love the way this looks, but I shudder at the thought of destroying books for it. Using a dictionary or other outdated reference book is one thing; tearing up immortal books like classics or chil...
