caart3, those plants are a maidenhair fern and an out-of-bloom orchid of some type. As for decorating the toilet, well, currently there is stuff on the back of ours because our bathr...

While I'm not in love with this personally (seems kind of underwhelming, don't like the gloss paint or the colors), I'm really surprised that people are being snippy about the earthquake concerns. ...

Ooh, fire-engine-red powdercoat would be perfect with all those soft greys so I vote for that, and use it as a minibar! Or it might make a good hall table by a door; put a little plant and a bowl ...

Aww, the "Keep Calm" snark bothers me. First, it's a great poster and that should be enough, and second, what if you even loved it and had it before it started showing up everywhere? Are you just...

Aww, don't kick the kitty out! I think a matelasse bedspread of some sort would be perfect-- sturdy, modern and clean looking, yet very feminine depending on what weave you get. Pottery Barn ofte...

Rubbing baking soda in and then using a vaccuum attachment occasionally should be fine for cleaning. And come on, it's no dirtier than your couch, your mattress, your armchairs, your rugs...probab...

Holly, I share your throw pillow addiction. You'll just have to buy some more chairs so you can take some off the couch... Anyway, love your home-- you have our type of stuff, in the type of SF a...

Does anyone know what kind of printing these are? The images look kind of rippled and handprinted... but the price is so low! I love the designs, but texture is a big deal for me, so I'd be sad ...

Re: Japan, I don't think it's been mentioned specifically, but it's rude to eat while you are walking around; if you have a snack you should stop and eat it. I lived in Hong Kong for...

I have to say, the ugliness of that desk is probably the most unethical thing about it...

I find it funny that people are setting this up as Walmart/Ikea/Target vs. DWR/Anthropologie, etc., when to me the real alternative is to buy vintage/used. I know the original post said that they ...

pretty!

Oh I looooove cement tiles! The best ones I have seen are in colonial buildings in Southeast Asia... so cool and perfect on bare feet, and beautiful with white walls, dark wood and a quiet ceiling...

Oh my goodness, I have a feeling a lot of people just don't re-read the way I (and other book hoarders) do. My boyfriend and I have, um, thousands (? we really have no idea) of books in our little...

Clickchick, I am afraid you are SO not correct about them loosening up at bridal stores. I'm currently in the midst of wedding planning as well as being a friend's maid of honor, and they NEVER al...

Haha, I'm with upstate. I think it works well, and really, if you love it, who cares if it's overexposed? Are we all going to start hating owls now because they're everywhere? That's as silly as...

I love milk glass precisely because it's so modern looking when taken out of the old-ladyish context! I have a mixed collection in the bathroom mostly and it works perfectly with our white bathro...

Ooh, pretty... I sort of prefer to use my old china, but there's getting to be so much that maybe it *should* go on the walls. Re: grease from the stove-- we have an inexpensive wood frame with a ...

Love it! I'm so jealous of the way people on AT keep scoring with the vintage mirrors. Love the yellow too- what color and brand did you use? I just bought some orange spray paint for a project,...

My boyfriend got me one of those with an enormous spray of white orchids once... very pretty, safe from cats, and I got to keep the giant vase. BUT, I have an awful time cleaning it because it won...
