I was in Topanga a few years ago and ate at Froggy's. I was trying to hold back the flood of memories of when that building was the American Legion Hall and on Friday nights it was always a huge hi...

We've had a pew in our kitchen for many years. I do love it but I'm ready for a change. I think you featured it a few years ago here on AT.

Ouch. Lovely, but at $150 on the cheep side, isn't going to happen anytime soon. I think I can assemble all the basic ingredients and make one at home.

I've always just used wallpaper paste as well. Years and years ago, before I knew about modpodge I would paint a layer of thinned out white glue over everything. Years later, they still look fine.

we have a few different ones around here. Prices vary from $25-$100. Usually for the less expensive ones, Wine is brought by the guests to be shared. I've hosted a couple in my back yard (on...

I prefer these kinds of baskets and so do my kids. I still put some candy in, but they appreciate getting little toys and gifts that last a while.

after years of debating we finally decided to just try it on one wall of our super light filled kitchen... It Worked and is awesome. I love it and it defines the space so nicely without sucking any...

I think I like food art like this and the other large scale (60"x20") food oriented ceramic works by Todd Barricklow

i love kombu!

Clothe swaps are always fun whether people are the same size or not. I remember my mom doing them when I was a kid and I've been participating in them at least once a year for ..golly.. 20 years no...

I buy a mixed berry juice at Trader Joes and some frozen mixed berries then make a fruit/Gelatin cup in little containers for my daughters' lunch. I make about 10 at a time and the last all week an...

I have a mid century one I keep on the inside of the door under the sink. moderately well designed, but does the job.

a frequent snack that the kids love (especially to take to the movies) Air popped popcorn topped with Flax seed oil and nutritional yeast, dried nettles, paprika and sometimes a sweet ...

In Amsterdam, in the colder months, all the outdoor seating has scarves or small blankets that the customers are welcome to use to keep warm.

mostly it's all coming from the garden. If I had the nerve, the turkey could come from the garden as well. We usually have 3-8 wild turkeys out there every morning. Ah, well.

I let my kids paint and repaint the walls as they want. they have free reign of the house but have kept it mostly in their room and the hall. Periodically I paint over something, but mostly they ...
