I love it when the whole knockoff debate comes up. I think that designers definitely should receive credit for their designs. That said, I also think that the way furniture design trends trickle do...

I disagree about the pedestal sink issue. I have a truly tiny bathroom with a horrible tiny vanity. It is the most useless thing ever. I can barely fit anything inside of it so I end up having to k...

All this talk about forcing vegetarianism on dogs and cats makes me cringe. I am a lifelong vegetarian (that's right, I've never eaten meat) but I would never dream of feeding my three cats a plant...

I completely agree with Orchid64. This exercise seems to incredibly elitist and silly to me. Why would you voluntarily endure hardship? I can't think of anything more insulting to those who have no...

It is definitely overpriced. However, if those items are in high demand where you live, I'm not surprised by the price. Did you see if they are willing to bargin? Don't be afraid to ask.

Wow, this is really depressing.

I have so many collections and a very tiny house. I am about to go through the process of paring down my collections and keeping only what I really love. For example, I love vintage kitchy cat figu...

The bedframe is from CB2 (I have it). I don't think that they carry it anymore. If you go to crateandbarrel.com and click on outlet, sometimes they carry discontinued CB2 styles.

I've had my fair share of annoying neighbors, but mosly I've just learned to get over it. The wall my bed is on is right against my neighbor's driveway. They leave for work at 5am on their motorcyc...

A year and a half ago I bought a 650sqft house. Unfortunately, I bought all my furniture while living in a space twice that size. I don't want to get rid of my furniture since I like it and it is s...

Maybe I'm just OCD, but I think if I did this in my own home, or saw it in someone elses, I would be inclined to turn them all spine-side-out every time I looked at them. It's funny how we are used...

I bought a 100 year old house a 1 1/2 years ago. I've done a lot of small, mostly cosmetic projects. Here are my suggestions. When you buy a level, don't buy a short 1ft one. It is much more useful...

I tried to read this book a year or two ago and I hated it. I thought that it would be a book about building a modern off-the-grid homestead. Instead, Brende and his wife move to an Amish community...

I'm a little late commenting -- but I'll contribute my two cents anyway. I live in 650sq/ft alone with three cats. I curse the lack of space daily. If you are really clean and organized it might no...

Does anyone know where I can find a curio shelf like that? I have so many little things I've collected and I think it would be a great way to display them. Of course I should probably secure everyt...

I actually have the exact same console from CB2. I also purchased the matching bookcases. Together the three pieces (bookcases flanking console) create a very pleasing arrangement. The bookcases ar...

Legos are awesome and I love the tie in with architecture. Just to reiterate what others have said...legos are not gender specific! I'm a woman and I played with legos as a kid. I had a few kits, b...

I live outside of San Francisco in the South Bay (aka Silicon Valley). I would definitely echo bepsf observations. SF is VERY expensive and those areas that are a little more affordable (like the M...

I'm so tired of the "smaller is better" rhetoric. I live by myself with three cats in 650 sq feet. It is a huge challenge and when I purchase my next home, I definitely would like at least 1000 sq ...

Definitely not necessary to make drainage holes. I have my succulents planted in a variety of teacups and bowls using regular potting soil and no special drainage. I mist them with water about once...
