I second Cheryl K. Replacing it once a week is pretty standard, sometimes more frequently. Either way, it certainly has to be allowed to dry out completely!

I am an interior designer, just starting out on my own, in Minneapolis, and would love to help you out! I specialize in maximum use of minimum spaces, and am very passionate about sustainability! S...

Seems like a very warm, lovely place to live. Nice job!

A few years ago, there was this great little coffee shop in my hometown. I worked there for a little while, and for a long time it was pretty much my second home. As it was for so many of us who "d...

yuk.

Love, love, love. This is such a warm and happy home. Thank you for sharing:)

Yes, yes and yes! I love the gallery idea, the black and white, and that girl's use of the stairwell wall for pictures. And, I've always thought that pictures of a couple should go in the bedroom. ...

True Tex: though you may not know the cold of Minnesota (and, the depressive qualities of dark setting in at 5:00pm), you are more than familiar with humidity than I. Though ours is not as bad, I a...

Some interesting ideas, but for the most part this space seems very chaotic.

No. Not Blueprint AND Domino!

I like the idea of the TV moving to the window wall, and it would be a great opportunity to get rid of that low lying, uninspiring piece you now have. Perhaps something that covers up the TV when n...

Oh no. These things should be kept separate, in my opinion. I know people who wonder why they don't sleep well, who just happen to also be TV watchers and internet surfers right up until lights off...

This is just silly. Especially with the table.

Me too met too!!! This is exactly the color I've been looking for....

I DREAM of being this neat and orderly. Absolutely wonderful use of space! The chairs are awkward, but apparently they work for her. ooh_food: I believe the plant is amaranthus. I've a...

I've done the "plopping" thing with a large group. It turned out to be the funnest, most intimate "dinner party". It was actually a Winter Solstice gathering, and I was living in a fairly small ap...

Having just got married myself, and only having an online registry at Gaiam (a lot of older folks don't really get how to do that), we recommended some local places on our website where we'd love(a...
