I've often used cafe clips (thanks, Mom) for curtains teamed with tension curtain rods. I picked up some great dish towels at ikea and voila...had great curtains with zero sewing.

Great post...perfect timing! Though this deviates a little from the list...when I'm working from home, I often need to get OUT of the house. In those cases, a walk around the neighborhood helps me...

Great room!! I second lisetiffner's question about the grey chair. As for the rug, I think the oriental rug is a great suggestion. It will give you a ton of options with color and the...

Here's plug for my friends' site: The Golden Yard. In addition to their crafty ideas, the sell great vintage fabrics on etsy. http://thegoldenyard.com/

I saw this exhibit last weekend and loved it. The photos are mostly large scale, so you can see amazing detail in each of the windows. It was completely voyeuristic. Excellent (and FREE) way to s...

Devlo...i hear you about Budget Living...RIP. My sister insisted on keeping the back issues and re-reads them regularly :)

Remember that you can't take a drink bottle with any liquid, but EMPTY bottles are allowed. Rather than wasting another plastic bottle, bring your own EMPTY refillable. In the spirit of full disc...

I've had my eye on the sari runner for my entryway, but am hesitant to get something so delicate (silk!) for a high-traffic area. Does anyone know what it would be like to keep it clean?

The first thing I thought of was to use the low-shelf as a ledge artwork in the gallery style (see the multitude of recent posts). Take the art from floor to ceiling. Can't wait to se...

I just picked up a couple of great bright, patterned pillows at Pier 1...for about $20/each. I have only been to Pier1 about 2 times in the last 8 years, but I realized that they have a great arra...

Great work! Any hint as to where you found the fabric?

Perfect timing...I'm setting up my home office (new apt) and was looking for some inspiration! Thanks!

Alison, This looks really great! Your room set-up is similar to my living room...I'm curious as to where you put your tv in the "after" shot?

I've created a wall o' photos using dozens of glass clip frames (from Ikea), but it ended up being such a pain to get everything lined up... I love this frame, but I think I love the u...

I'm set to move on May 8th and feel your pain... The best part has definitely been making the hard, oh so hard, decision to get rid of so many sentimental items. Tracking the small co...

Really lovely...I'm very impressed!

I appreciate the comments about the personal touches and lived-in quality, but overall it appeared to me to be pretty scattered and odd. Was there a large mirror over the tub? Was the...

Wow...the yellow bathroom and mint green kitchen sold me. Do you feel Parisian eating in the kitchen? Nice work.
