all vignettes, all the time? Yawn

I just showed this to my husband, who immediately and emphatically pointed towards the kitchen. This must be tried.

LOVE steel cut oats. I make them in the microwave, 1 cup oats to 4 cups water, (in my largest mixing bowl covered with a dinner plate) on high for 5 min, half power for 20min. I have time to do o...

I did this with Ikea sheers in my bedroom, covering up two windows, one with security bars, and I love the look. Definatley made the room look bigger, and lighter, sort of like a light box, the cu...

Am I the only one that thinks it is funny that an entire team was necessary to choose a christmas tree? Imagine the meetings that were held!! I would love a copy of the agenda and notes.

I started cooking with Quince last year too...my favorite so far was roasted with olive oil and garlic, instead of potatoes. Fabulous with pork!

I don't make the bed everyday, but I wipe down the bathroom everyday, wash any dishes left in the sink (no dishwasher here, unless you count ME) clean the counters, tidy the livingroom, de-fur my c...

I don't care about if the room has won an AT contest before, if the owners are professional designers or if the space is posted elsewhere. My first thought was "candles over the bed?" I would be ...

oh hell, just carpet the whole mess and call it a day. sisel, maybe.

I love these candles, and had about 6 in my fireplace last year. They looked great, until the bark surrounding them caught fire, so be careful about putting them too close together, like they are ...

Very nice. And nicely staged for the photoshoot. Another picture of the fruit bowl, please.

I'm glad to know I am not the only one to collect these! I have some from Japan (the best) Morocco, France, Spain and Germany. I have them hanging on the bedroom doors, but the maid never shows up!

Oh, its great! Glad to know that your inspiration was your 8 year old bedroom, at first I thought this WAS a childs bedroom. Seems like you must have had a very happy childhood! Really fun.

I love this, especially the chair that is hung on the wall. I have been wanting to do this with a chair I have that is beautiful, but not useable. Now I'm just gonna do it. Shawn.....

We had one of these stools when I was growing up...a carosel was painted on top with the saying "wash hands and face, and do it well, when you step on this carosel". I wonder where it is. I loved...

In college, my first roommate was a drug dealer. Fun times. I eventually moved in with a new roommate, the next year I got my own room (at my expense, not my parents) and never had a roommate again.

I always tell my husband that I would live in a pottery barn catalog if I could...and that's just what this house looks like! In a good way. LOVE the door in the dining room. Did you do the outs...

With a tiny bathroom, and a mirror, no medicine cabinet, I have the same problem. I realized that many things I think I "need" to do in the bathroom can actually be done elsewhere. With that in ...
