bepsf, Venetian plaster isn't too hard to do, although I'd imagine HGTV makes it look easier. Practice on some boards first if you can't take a class. You have to start with a smooth ...

Thank you so much for all the attention to detail and effort you've given my plea. I'm so sorry for the aesthetic assault! I should never have sent this vaguely worded email and motley group of p...

I'm an idiot -- I didn't pay attention to how much light you have. Do you have room for a super-tall living wall? They're pretty shallow, but I can't tell how much room you'd need t...

kimg924: I am the sound of one French (eclectic, of course) hand clapping in a rustic revival room

Off the top of my head, I'd say paint the doors and the handrail spindles something fun, then get one of those cool tree wall decals (I forgot who has them, anyone?) for the left wall...

Forgot to attach the link to the Malm headboard/drawer add-on: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/categories/series/...

And don't forget to store only clean woolens - it's the muckety-muck that attracts them in the first place...

I'm a fan of the Malm headboard/hidden drawer unit deal for a clean line (and huge amounts of storage). Or, you could buy two small tables at a thrift store and whack a couple of inch...

I've seen the log pillow everywhere this week - wonder why no one is showing the infinitely cooler button pillow?

I was just looking for a new place to live. I think I shall move into/onto that bed and never leave...

The looks brains kitchen looks like so much fun - ample counterspace, and well-distribututed and that wire basket storage next to the stove is fantastic! The white kitchen is prett...

The downtown Austin library just acquired 24 sustainability-related books - on green remodeling, small space living, urban planning, and climate-centric design. The list of books is posted at www....

Hanna- The Yellow House looks fantastic (and yeah, much like your gorgeous shop)! I can see why you're really attached to the Indian piece behind the guest bed, but really - I'm stupe...

It depends on where you are, but www.carpetrecovery.org is a good place to start. If you're in Austin, I posted a list of where to recycle "difficult" things at www.livinghouseaustin....

Imagining what great memories your family will making at your new table...

The thing is, I have no idea where the 1200 square feet of indoor space is. I f it's really that big, I don't understand why he has a view of his shoes from bed. Does anyone find it ...

Neither - I'm about breaking even, though in different ways than before. Definitely cooking at home more, but as I usually shoot for local first, then organic (and hopefully both), that behavior h...

I really liked this idea when I first read the post, but I think it could be a little harsh for some people's systems, if they're not used to eating this way. Instead of squeezing it all into one ...

I've been doing this for years too -- it IS especially good if you just have the bed on the floor. What also looks good texture-wise is a thin blanket, just do your best to make neat corners and s...
