This is so simple and so genius! I literally just smacked myself in the forehead for not thinking of it before!

It's definitely once the little one has gone to sleep. I've been having this conversation with a lot of friends lately, and while sometimes I get accused of being a supermom because I get a lot of ...

these are available on ebay for less than half the price. same product. that retailer just happens to be on the higher end of the price range. but yes, they are more expensive than you might think ...

I feel I should clarify re: the old floor. When we bought the house, it had individual 12" peel-and-stick vinyl flooring in "pink granite." The flooring in our "before" is vinyl-by-the...

We used to live on Elm Street! When we decided we were ready to buy, we looked all over the place and weren't finding anything we wanted. When a listing came up on Francis Way, I wasn'...

I recognize the tiles in the center. They're from Tierra y Fuego. We used them in our bathroom.

When we redid out bathroom, we bought encaustics from these guys: http://www.tierrayfuego.com/ we get compliments every time someone new come...

Hi all, thanks for the kind words! The flooring comes from Tierra Y Fuego, a company based here in San Diego (though they sell online, too): www.tierrayfuego.com I'm...

robyn, try craigslist or your local community college! :)

I'm kind of surprised no one has mentioned Korres' Cedar scented stuff yet. I know it's not bar soap, but their cedar-scented body wash is one of the most amazing scents out there.

Our contractor's name is Victor Gastellum. He's in the San Diego area - if you're in the area, email chrysalis5@yahoo.com and I'll send you his contact info. The paint is Behr, and the...

You could install floor-to-ceiling curtains (I think Ikea has some pretty nice brown velvet ones that would be awfully luxe) around the fireplace and use the empty fireboxes for storage in the mean...

Duzer - our bathroom is 5'x9' (well, 4'10"x9', really), so it's about as small as small can be! Oh, and to the question about flooring, we had our contractor cut the tile - he just use...

Thanks everyone! We couldn't be happier with how it turned out. We know that the flooring is a very unique choice, but before we did the renovation, we sat down and talked about it and decided we w...

I was sort of shocked when I visited the Tumbleweed site to see that he offers houses approaching 800 sf as small houses. Our house is 1,063 sf and now that we have a baby on the way and a dedicate...

I like the lamp idea, but keep thinking how cute one of those would be as a ceiling lamp in my hallway, mounted to the ceiling with a glass globe attached below. Or, since they're so ...

I actually like the storage system, but am a little concerned about whether it will block the door on the left...

mschatelaine - I LOVE that you linked me to that particular remodel! That one was Brasil-inspired, and we were inspired to go with the encaustic tile after our honeymoon in Argentina. I've been oog...

So far, I'm loving the input on this! The light blue paint suggestion is right in line with what we were thinking, though it hadn't even crossed my mind to do a colored trim on the til...
