LOL I *always* clean the cabinet before guests come over... and ours is kind of nice, so I think I'd be almost disappointed if no one peeked! Lots of posh beauty products and pretty bottles to sho...
At first I was like, OMG, an apple cozy, what has the world come to?!?!? And then I remembered that I never take apples to work with me because they get so beat up in my bag... maybe this idea has...
Any ideas on how to keep lamps safe in a quake? The things that I would be saddest about are most likely to get smashed in our apartment are lamps... but that putty stuff seems too weark to hold...
I have a question for the AT community... I could probably ask Google, but that's wayyyyy too much effort. ;) I grew up composting with a big backyard; we would keep scraps in the kitchen until o...
I wouldn't have passed up that lamp either, it's gorgeous! But yes, I do this too-- my rule is, if you are going to have dreams about the item/mourn it for years, just buy it. It's only money. ;...
Love it, except I feel like maybe the medallion duvet cover/pillow are too much? I would go for less pattern, more texture there. The fretwork mirror is particularly delicious... sigh.
We have a a few large planter pots that (due to the same budget & free time woes keeping us from refinishing and relocating the beautiful Heywood Wakefield nightstands we do have-- they have been p...

If my neighbors came to me with a "suggestion" on what I should do with my home... well, let's just say my blood pressure would go up quite a bit. As others have pointed out, it isn't really a sug...
In terms of philosophy, I would boil it down to a top 5 list:
1. It's supposed to be fun. (So if you're making it not fun, stop and reassess.)
2. Accept what you love even if it isn'...
@ teeze... not everyone likes dishwashers. They're terribly hard on your dishes and pots. We have vintage fine china, Le Creuset and copper cookware, vintage glass and crystal, and vintage silver...
The cats have free reign and go everywhere except our bedroom, which they are not allowed in simply because we need somewhere to store breakables/things that shouldn't get furry. We'd like to have...
I love these, especially the MA one (so pretty!), but have to say that the complete lack of any resemblance of the California poppy one to actual California poppies is kind of killing it for me. =(
It's a little too wide and the slight flare is visually irritating. You want a drum about the same height and an inch or two less in diameter with STRAIGHT sides. The main thing though is that th...
What is up with guys being so weird about baby blankets? Based on this nonscientific sample it's an epidemic! My fiance and I had an ongoing battle to get rid of his fugly old blanket from his ch...
I feel your pain... we've lost 3 lamps to our cats. I agree to wait a bit and make sure the doggy issue is totally resolved before investing the money in reupholstering. You can just stitch the t...
Oh wow, with 5K and 20 hours I'm pretty sure I could redo at least half our apartment. And it would look good, as opposed to amateur and unfinished like these. Good lord, fabric tacked to the wal...
We HAVE to keep a tray on it, because otherwise it will just get covered in junk (keys, cords, post-its, etc). At least the tray corrals the junk until we get around to organizing it. Other than ...
