Echoing those who say "They look odd and in the way under the desk." I think it is a great idea and almost there. A little more re-arranging and it will look finished, not just hidden. I love ho...
There is a great store in Kansas City that has tons of these types of fixutres and replacement glass, unfortunately, I can't think of the name. Anyone from KC know the store I am talking about?
mariegael, I was where you are but then I thought, hey, you have to learn this stuff someplace. I had to learn to use a thermostat when I got my own place because in my parents' house it was VERBO...
My current ottoman has casters and I dislkie it because they can't be locked. This means I can't use it to brace my legs on. This is an issue for me and makes my ottoman less functional for me.
Fun question! I'm enjoying the answers and different points of view. My spin off question would be, does geography have as much impact on decorating trends as it used to? In other words, has the...
quiltmaster, I'm glad your experience was different, but it can indeed take months - or never happen, as in bethanyboo's situation. I've fostered dozens (truly, dozens) of cats. Each situation is...
Minchee:
I love washing everything, I think that is the easiest tack. Howeverm washing can be somewhat hard on clothes so I don't wash them unless they need it. It is hard enough (an...
First, I change clothes as soon as I get home so I have a tiny bit of energy. I don't want to wear my nice work clothes around the house - my cat will inevitably catch a claw in something and ruin...
The MLS is another place to look. It is easy to list by area there, as well. As a landlord, I use a realtor to list my property. It costs me a month's worth of rent but it saves me a lot of time ...
I love the BostonConsigment as amended by patrick (the other one) idea! I've never heard of the Oprah / Nate thing, so this is a brand new idea for me.
Neatly made every morning. I hate getting into an unmade bed. But "crisply" and "contemporary?" The bed in the "made" picture surely isn't "contemporary."
I don't have an anxiety not to be trendy, but I do find it irritating when something I've loved FOREVER in my decor is suddenly everywhere. What kind of makes me sad is when something I loved befo...
How does the electricity get to the termites? I don't understand this at all. After reading their site, I think I'd be a lot more likely to try the cold or heat treatment. Both of those sound a ...
Change the locks? Make sure you're allowed to do that in your lease agreement. As a landlord, I'm happy to have your locks re-keyed at my expense when you move in (in fact, I probably already had...

I love the hex ties for the house number in #1. I wonder if I can translate this into my house exterior somehow.

The best post EVER on AT. I actually laughed until I cried and my nose was running.
Not my style but one of the most interesting and creative things I've seen on AT or, actually, anywhere this year. Wow.
