milk tea, thanks for the tips -- if you're still reading, I'm curious whether you just left the edges unfinished - I was thinking I'd cut two triangles for each flag and stitch them together - but ...

Any tips re. how you made the fabric penants? I'm about to try to make something very similar out of my daughters' baby clothes but I haven't sewed anything since 8th grade home ec class :)

I'm drooling...

ooh, venus, cool idea. now if only i had the slightest little bit of design skill...

After seeing a Chance poster in a magazine once, I've been watching eBay for a long time...nothing ever seems to turn up.

I would paint the cabinets white, do something dark on the counters, check JCPenney for black chairs

We did something similar and a good contractor was all we needed. That said, if you are doing a high-end remodel, an architect might be able to come up with something more elegant or cutting-edge. ...

it is back sort of behind the playground - it's an incredible thing to stumble upon though, the last thing you'd expect to find there.

thanks sarahrae, you may have just convinced me to get one! any particular brand you've had success with? we definitely need something that will stand up to the elements.

I'm no prude but come on, this ugly unitasker just isn't in keeping with AT's mission. One reference to it was enough.

We had this situation and I hated it! Do you have a medicine cabinet? Can't tell from the photo. That was what finally drove us to remodeling. But assuming you have a medicine cabinet, I think you ...

Can anyone comment on whether this would be good with small kids who drop a lot of food on the floor? Would it pick up cheerios and chunks of broccoli? Does it take the place of a broom?

I'm still plugging away. I am leaving for vacation for a week (yay!) and didn't adequately factor in the extra work of preparing to go away while also trying to squeeze in an extra week of curing -...

I'm still here! I've been a little off-track...cleaning, decluttering, and organizing but not the rooms I'm "supposed" to be doing. Then again, there's no week dedicated to toys and they make up a ...

Anyone know about the quality of that ottoman? It would work well for me I've ordered several things from Penneys recently and been pleased. I wait for free shipping and then return it...
