I wish I were holding the place for my future nightstand as well as that! I just have an end table from Urban Outfitters, that isn't big enough and has no drawer. It is sad. Good nightstands are ha...

We're serving pumpkin pancakes and oranges wedges to people, as they arrive (7:30- 11 or so) and join in the preparing festivities. It's possible we may add some bacon to the mix.

The only way to preserve historic structures is to make them usable for the people of today. Victorians may be pretty, but all those tiny little rooms pretty much suck. I think this is a great way ...

Hosting for 21 - first meeting of the families, plus a couple friends from work. Yikes! It's a potluck, with a Google spreadsheet so everyone knows what everyone else is bringing. We are providing ...

I don't think there are any attractive options to buy (could be wrong, but I've never seen one). But, it would be really easy to build a little box out of cedar, or copper sheeting, or...

Awesome! maybe we can finally get the cable to the proper side of the living room!

Yeah, that must be why I never get rid of anything. Ever.

Mmm, relish tray! It's handy to keep the poaching of the dinner to a minimum. We usually have several different olives, cornichons, grape tomatoes, and maybe carrots. There were pickled beets when ...

I would paint the backs of the bookshelves first - probably the wall color (or maybe some bright wallpaper if you like). Next is textiles - the window seat cushion could be a pale fab...

Creepy! I love it! Though I think they would just be blobs after not that much use... great for parties though!

We had a couple pawpaw trees growing up. It was always a race to get to ripe fruit before the critters - I don't think we ever got more than one or two a year... I would love to have one again some...

I enjoy blaming noises on the cats.

I pay barely half what it would cost in mortgage and maintenance if I bought my unit, so yeah, I'd say we underpay.

The biggest flag for me is the proportions - I hate when someone tries to copy a designer room piece by piece, without thinking about how the items relate to each other.

@erin in indy - I would try dried cherries, or maybe cranberries. Yum!

I love this fireplace! I am trying desperately to get it incorporated in my step-dad's vacation house...

Here is before! Yikes! http://www.flickr.com/photos/93575111@N00/sets/72157622607638388/ Last year...

I kind of do this, but I will display my new purchases, even if they don't "go." I get excited about them, and want to use them. I will store the old things they displace, because I might need them...

I solve this by avoiding all glass in furniture. Even the tempered stuff makes me feel insecure...

Rental dusty blue and 80s peach. Fairly high-end finishes and in good shape, but remodeled by an old lady some time ago. On the one hand, I've never had so nice a kitchen, but on the other, I want ...
