I don't like ice cream. And I hate cute. Also anything specifically marketed as a trend. But I love the soft colors of these little dishes.
They remind me of Lu-Ray Pastels, the depr...
The handrail detailing is also a good way to signal that you're near the bottom step if you happen to be going down the stairs in the dark. Kind of like the ridges in the street as you approach a d...
I have zero interest in anybody's annual color "forecasts", including Pantone's, but I gotta say this year's colors make a great-looking set of mugs, kind of like the designers' version of Fiestaw...
Yes, the Gobbler Resort that jrochest links to is the first thing that popped into my mind when I saw that first picture, but here's the thing: I'm kind of sorry I never got to visit the place in ...
Having a tub in the bedroom isn't for me--and I don't even have a bedroom--but then neither is having a sink in the living room, which feature has moved from an unavoidable necessity in low-...

Rina, paper blinds will help a little, but any light will fade fabric after a certain amount of time. What gets me is the short amount of time that is involved in the testing for fading of ...
Never let the fact that you haven't done something before prevent you from giving it a try. Fitted slipcovers aren't nearly as hard to make as people assume, especially if you dispense with the opt...
No, TRUE BLUE, we don't disagree. When I contrasted the red chair's klutzy anthropomorphism with the nubile & gleaming fiberglass figures in the Korova Milk Bar, I was not indicating approval of th...
I didn't even notice the allegedly "very naughty" allusion [insert rolling eyes avatar here] until I read the explanation, just the awkward transition between the seat & legs. I am reminded, howev...
OK, so the exact point the artist is trying to make--is it a comment on the gentrifying neighborhood or a protest on tax-gouging the rich?--is a little hazy. But then, so is the point of life. Who...
Next time I'm in D.C. I'll be sure to check these out. It's true the size of the rooms at the White House is smaller than most people expect, but that's because it's a real house, not a palace.

The chances of making this work are about a hundred to one. Don't try this at home.

Way cool. These make me want to go to Howard Johnson's for dinner.
