glorious! totally going to copy one day! thank you.

Our condo. association started replacing our old, rotting glass-paneled exterior doors with (still glass-paneled) steel doors. I sanded the dumpster-bound doors down, painted 'em and...

Failed Feminist :) is a great instruction-giver. Thanks for this. Also, To recycle the actual candle containers: Freeze overnight the old wax should pop right out. She's right ab...

ooh, i bet the whitewashing helps calm the dust down too!

In the case of couples (e.g. my parents), large/tall people, and light sleepers, I do what Annieo does and give people my bed. I can sleep anywhere and it's good to keep the guests relatively cont...

Many cities will pick up your old refrigerator and recycle it - in some cases, they'll even pay you (around $50). Lowe's will pick up and recycle your old appliances when they delive...

What a great idea! I'm moving to a smaller place, undoubtedly with less storage, and I was fretting a little about what to do with awkward, sensitive objet.

Not cheep but so sweet (sorry, I just couldn't resist) :)

Reminded me of the trays in a candy shop...that is, until I realized it was a wall and fell amazed. I'm so going to copy once I move back to NM :). Thank you for this one!

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?
