Please add me to the growing list.

While I haven't been keeping up with posting my photos, I've been a busy bee here! I'm really happy that I participated in The Cure. I feel inspired by our group. I accomplished a lot. I'm a hoard...

I agree...wait to plant unless you can be sure to bring in pots. I usually start my outdoor work in May (around mother's day) but this year, I may start a bit later. Happy gardening, everyone!

Jooly--Hello. One of my garden stores is a small family run business in Humboldt Park called Adams & Sons on California Ave. I buy most of my annuals there and have purchased perennials there, too....

I usually have a vase of fresh flowers, a silly, wooden 50s candy dish that's in the shape of a dacshund called "Snack Hound," and sometimes a coffee table book or two that I rotate.

I, too, love that nightstand. It's adorable and perfect and I'm going to have to steal it.

I agree with Curtis. The bed is begging to be white. You should do it! It'd be so great in there. I like your space a lot. I looks beautifully edited yet very personalized and quite c...

One of my favorite now defunct little antique / lifestyles stores had a very memorable display inside of a bird cage that had its own stand. I, too, would love to know where that gree...

Chris G.--I've been looking at the lumiSource telescoping chairs for a month or so. I haven't seen them in person. Do they fold? I'm looking for something I can fold and store.

I didn't vote, but my feet just get cold looking at the floor. And, if I stand on it long enough, my back hurts. I wish there were more soft things to balance the hard objects. ...

I agree entirely with the other posters--have your floors done first. Buying a number of major furniture pieces at one time is not a good idea. Imagine it--each piece is outdated at some point and ...

I think this will work great next to my fridge. Thank you for posting this.

I have three bikes in the basement. Don't worry, I ride two of them regularly. (The third one--my Schwinn Collegiate -- is awaiting repairs.) My building has a laundry room / bike storage area. It ...

I ordered tiles today for a rug for my entryway. I have dogs. Most of my rugs end up getting trashed. Perhaps using FLOR, I can just replace 1 tile when it's messed up rather than buy another rug. ...

I wouldn't get the chrome. I'd go for wood bases. As for color...hmmm...that's a hard decision. I'm not sure green is right for your space. What about moss or white? I would no...

It's great to see everyone's progress! I think we're off to a good start. Thank you for the reminder not to over-do it. I run the risk of burn-out with nearly everything that I do and this will be ...

I filled out a form to register two time. I'm in Chicago. My id here and at flickr is lucitebox.

I'm in! I started some projects around the holidays (I actually got rid of some things and bought some vintage furniture.) I'm very concerned about the bones of my apartment. There i...

Oh duh. I just realize what you're saying, J-girl. NOT ON the back of the door, but above it. I was thinking...wait...how will the storage boxes stay on the shelf? (I have a heating vent up there s...

J-girl--I like this idea. This is a dumb question, I suppose. Don't the things fall off of the shelf when the door is opened and closed? The boxes with the stuff in them probably won't be very heavy.
