This is the doggie equivalent of baby wipe warmers for infants. You don't need it at all. Not to mention most dogs wouldn't go for it.

me, please! (i know i will win one of these one day.)

My dining area gets used every day. Since I have very limited counter space in the kitchen, I sometimes do prep work at the table.

Target used to sell one with a very similar design/color scheme -- I think it was $99 for a 5x8. Someone in the last color contest (I think) had it in her bedroom.

I can't see some of the details (like I didn't realize there were glass doors), but the thing that people like about tiger oak is its distinctive grain, which you'd obscure if you stained it dark. ...

I know three couples who, in the last year, have up-sized from homes that ranged from 1,800 square feet to 2,500 sq. ft. to all owning houses that are from 3,300 to 3,500 sq. ft. They say they need...

Congratulations on the house! You get a lot of space for your money in Texas, no? Sounds like you know what you want to do with the den -- a dining and hangout area by the kitchen will...

I'm pretty allergic to cats, but lived with a guy who had 2 (and they were his babies so there was no question of giving them up). If there is any way to incorporate the cat into your new domestic ...

1) laundry (preferably a w/d in the unit) 2) pet policy (dogs OK) 3) energy efficient This actually encompasses not only efficient appliances (lower power us...

I just bought a desk identical to the one in the photo with the 3 yellow chairs -- the desk under the buffet (dresser?). Now I wish I could go to D.C. and browse, though I'm kind of scared of what ...

I bought a hideous couch at a used-stuff store -- well, actually, it was a store based out of a storage unit. It was $20, upholstered in awful, scratchy, nubby plaid. But I liked its lines so I bou...

Amy Butler does make heavier fabric, but I've only used it for window coverings. I'd recommend that, actually, for a funky accent and get the seats recovered in something more practical, like an ou...

A "set" of ceramic S&P shakers that consists of a cake slice on a plate and a pie on a stool. They'd lost their true mates at Pottery Ranch, but I thought they'd work together -- and they do.

SFali is right -- it's about $150 off right now. Other than a DIY version, you're probably not going to find a table like this cheaper.

No, actually, the price sounds reasonable. That's how much they cost on eBay, plus about $200 for shipping/delivery. L.A. has a couple of dealers/retailers who sell these for at least 4 times as mu...

i like them all, but would like to offer horizontal 9 a home.

Actually, I think the Harmony bulb is what greenlight's first post refers to. I just remembered one keyword, not the brand/maker/model. But they're awesome. I want to put them in all of my lamps. T...

I second Mattab's suggestion of the n:vision bulbs from Home Depot. They're great. But don't get the n:vision daylight bulb -- it's the opposite of what you're looking for. That level is really har...

My parents had a very similar bed for decades -- I think they bought it in the '70s. You could get lucky at a yard sale. Here's a similar style from Overstock for $699:

Thanks to the great directions, I might attempt a slipcover. The revamped chair looks awesome. I remember being sorry that it didn't win first place.
