I know I'm going to get a reputation as nothing but a cranky ol' lady, but why the placemats under things?? It is so mom-like. Like the plant on the table? The table it great. The chairs are gr...

This has been done...and done. On Wikipedia, no less than 8 variations of the Gnome thing are listed, plus there's plenty more to find elsewhere. Maybe the gnomes are tired now, and would rather ...

I agree with bepsf. It looks like there's plenty of space on each side of the doors/windows for draperies to hang when opened. And, moving them up to the ceiling is a great idea. BTW...

It's "dining" not "dinning". If you're going to spend $3,000 on it, at least know how to spell it.

I think this is so funny. On this very blog, I have read people seriously discussing the merits of $1500 end tables, $2,000 beds and $5,000 sofas. And you think a $55 sheet of dolla...

Yes. I meant heinous and insane. No irony. My home is so free of clutter that it looks like a motel room. While some might not like or understand that, to me it is calming and s...

I don't really understand why people need items like this. To my mind, it just makes more clutter. I don't ever have anything to put down when I come home. My keys are in my purse, which goes in ...

I know you didn't ask about this... but those curtains detract from the great space, windows and view. I'd get rid of those and go with blinds...something really great from the Shade Store.com woul...

What if you don't have the picture rail? And, the clips look like big paper clips. I can see it if you live in an apartment and can't put nails everywhere, but it's sort of unattracti...

I agree with the others that advise you lose the bookcase. Some, not all, of the photos displayed on the wall between the doorways would be nice. Although, I also like wompwompwomp's suggestion t...

There's a nursery that I buy from, and they always have a "hospital" area where they put plants that are pot-bound, or otherwise not looking too well, and they sell them cheaply. I've gotten lots ...

I have exactly the same setup in my condo. I had a carpenter build-in some shelving with doors. Painted the doors the same color as the walls and added some door handles from Ikea. I had toyed wi...

Oh. Duh... Of course. Thanks.

I went to the website, but didn't see how to order. I've been looking and looking for a porch rug & I love these! How do I get one?

I'm lucky, in that I'm old and therefore my parents were old (born 1908 & 1911), so I have some great sepia and b/w photos of them, aunts & uncles and grandparents. I have some of the coolest ones...

When I read the interview and saw the photo of Brigid, it all made sense. Would I want to live there? I'd rather stick pins in my eyes. But, for her it works. Her apartment is ful...

When I come home, my cat comes running toward me meowing at the top of his lungs. My front door opens onto a long entrance hall with a lovely runner that I especially like that's black...

Another project that belongs in the "Just because you can, doesn't mean you should" category. I mean...really...be serious...

When I saw the apostrophe I immediately thought I'd have to post, but then worried that everyone would think I was an anal grammar/spelling freak. What a relief to see that others beat me to it! ...

First of all, I'd like to know what the speed limit is on the street in your photo. And, how do they know people are exceeding that? If the residents feel the speed limit is too high,...
