Chicago girl here--definitely, get home and stay home. Get creative with whatever you have in the pantry, break out that book (or project) and wait it out. Do go for a walk though (if you have de...

amie-- the pros say once per week, and I'm sure some or even most folks do, but trust me, you are not alone.

This is even better than the folks who make stuff out of their laundry lint.

Suprised that there are so many negative comments. I think it is stunning. Talk about design on a dime! I love the cascading rows of puzzle pieces -- how did you EVER think of that? So creative ...

We hade one of these once. It was OK (takes a little getting used to) but probably worth a try. One caveat -- a buckwheat pillow is very heavy (seriously), so stick to a standard size. Our queen...

geek. definitely.

I can probably count on one hand the number of days in my future that I will wake to an ocean view. Sigh. Fortunately, the world is a beautiful place if you know how to look at it, even here in su...

Really, I think if you have a home design blog, you really have to bring this one.

PS-- if we didn't have the dust mites to clean up our 'mess', would we then be swimming in our own dead skin cells (and those of our pets)? Just wondering...

Ya know, you can make similarly disgusting observations about bacteria and many other teeny tinies we live with but don't want to think about. Animals (including humans) are dirty creatures. I am...

At the risk of suggesting the obvious, have you tried Ikea? I will also second the comments above--came very close to using reclaimed metal cabs in our kitchen redo. Go...

So, for the craft-challenged, like me, how would one actually go about creating something like this? Speak slowly and clearly, please ; )

We have an open plan kitchen/living space and I think the wreaths would look great.

That has to be the most original, outside-the-box thing I have seen in a long time.

Ok, but who was the very famous singer?

Wow. Just Wow.

At our house, it's always the cats. Even if I don't know where the noise is coming from, I tell myself its the cats and I go back to sleep. Works every time. So which clueless horror movie charac...

Who was it (Adler?) who advised 'when in doubt, paint it orange'? We took that advice with our kitchen backsplash and loved it! Love the orange cabinet.

Real beeswax candles. They don't need to have any additional scents in them -- the beeswax alone smells divine!

Ouch. And I am not happy with the name either.
