Yeah, sectionals have been around for 40 years - but they were really IN in the 70s, and then they went way, way OUT for 30 years or so. When they started popping up again, I thought, "Ugh... anot...

The rug is COOL, but un-vacuumable. All those crevasses? All that dust, dirt, and dog hair? Aiiee. Love the paperback display. Been thinking about devoting a wall to antique childr...

Yeah, they definitely still sell pegboard at the hardware store or home center. Just get your measurements and have it cut to size while you're there to save time, then paint.

I love mirrors all over, though I don't have many in my place. It's not about seeing your reflection; it's about reflecting the light and color that's in your house already, so your house has even...

I'm just about to paint an old set of school lockers that color green - I think I'll like it in a small dose, but on those walls, it makes me a bit seasick! I had a room vivid green like that for ...

I heart that drawer unit in photo #5. Want. Want. Want.

dtremit: I'd love to see a photo of your mirrored china cabinet. I'm enchanted by the thought. Any chance you'd post?

I'm not much of a MCMer, but this place is wonderful! I love the color, the re-use of vintage pieces, and the creativity. Grr... Someday I'll have a loft.

I did my rant over on the other site, but heck, I'm going to do it here. This sort of legislation does not address environmental concerns. I'm willing to believe that the sponsors of ...

OK, all you green people. Really. I'm a biology major and now I'm a science teacher. This kind of thing drives me cuh-razy. You need to add this to your mantra: USING OLD STUFF req...

I love these pieces, and have been toying with the idea of recreating the desk (black pipes/silver fittings). I found a piece similar to this on a bunch of design blogs, craved by th...

I love some stuff in my house: the antique tiger oak card file, the cool antique school lockers I just bought at the flea market, the vintage paintings I've collected. But... they're j...

I agree - I drag home lots of stuff that looks cool, and doesn't end up fitting in my space. What did we do before we could resell stuff on Craigslist!?!? People must have had to live with their ...

I love that red, but might relegate it to a mudroom or other small room where you can love it without seeing it all. the. time. I've taken to loving white walls with tons of accent col...

Oh, list it on Craigslist! Some eBay seller would be DELIGHTED to get free bubble wrap. That stuff is ludicrously expensive, for what it is. When I used to sell on eBay, I would have...

Hmm! Interesting question! I agree, after looking at the samples, that the background color and the art make a big difference. Some of the paintings on white just look "blah" to me, but some of ...

Um... interesting! #2 and #3 remind me of unfortunate van paintings from the 70s, though. Just because you can paint waterfalls doesn't mean you should. :) I love #4, and...

Nope, nope, nope. To me, it looks like the stoop equivalent of those horrible faux-home covers they used to put on the 70s: concrete applied over siding to "imitate" stone houses, brick houses, et...

Oh, don't misread me - I don't have a problem with how this guy used the albums. I think it's very clever and a great thing to display in his home. I completely understand that this is far from "...

Well... I can say that Wu Tang made a lot of money selling those albums to my white middle school students in the early 90s. The kids used to draw that cheesy Wu Tang symbol all over their papers ...
