That list caused me mild anxiety. Though I believe myself to be very orderly, the state of car/purse/desk/home says otherwise. I'm doing The Fall Cure and although I'm su...

I'm trying to decide if rope light would be cool on my staircase or if it would make my home look like a theater. I'm leaning towards theater.

You're all reading my mind! I'm obsessed with turquoise right now and am dying to paint my under-the-stairs office nook. If I had any nerve (and money), I'd recover my sofas in turquoise velvet.

I like to shop with the BF, but typically, I'm shopping with a purpose and have narrowed down the options. I tend to do the research alone.

Okay. Made the mistake of looking at the site. First thing I see is a teddy bear with lady parts. Why?

I'm dying to see the ones not safe for work, but I'm scared. Once you see something, you can't unsee it.

Bon Bon Amour! I'm a sucker for anything shiny.

Pearl River has them for $155. No orange, but teal and white are nice. http://pearlriver.com/v2/FramesCat.asp?iGroup=315 ...

I'm so excited for you. I love a do over and yours came out so well. The cable mgmt alone has me drooling. The carpet makes the white crisper. Such a pleasant environment. Great job!

Suggest centering the table under the lighting, no rug, hang window treatment from ceiling height, hang big artwork. Add seat cushions to break up line of brown. Reflect colors from artwork in the ...

Shock, you must be very good at solving puzzles. I'm going to fashion a gliding bench, using them side-by-side. I'll submit an update when I'm finished. Don't hold your breath, though...

Thank you shockthebourgeois! I love the AT community. I knew I could count on you to end my torment.

You may not have enough time to push your mattress off the safe, open the combo, load your gun, then shoot. There is a bedside gun rack called "The Backup." It mounts to the side of yo...

I did the same thing in my tiny kitchen with the same shelves. The open shelving really opens up the space and actually gave me more storage. I cook daily and have my windows open 3 se...

I was just recently oohing and aahing over hanging herb gardens at Dwell on Design. It didn't even occur to me that they looked exactly like hanging shoe pockets. You just saved me a grip of money.

Such a cute chair. Why does IKEA torment me like this? Every so often, thier designers come up with something brilliant; then, they discontinue the item. I've been coveting a $99 clear, acrylic din...

The exterior of my condo complex is Vista brand Mesquite, a drab, olivey tan. My Irvine, CA HOA forbids anything outside the lines, so I painted the interior of my front door high gloss Behr brand ...

Remember back when bathrooms were carpeted?

Your tribute is so sweet. Living creatures, no matter how small, bring warmth to a home. It sounds like Mr. Darcy had a wonderful life.

Were all condos built in the 70's required to be dismal? I have the same stucco and Vista Pain Mesquite wood trim on my condo. No squirrels, though. I have panhandling racoons. Great j...
