Take a few paint chips and ask your neighbors what they think? Gauge their reaction. It's not just you who has to look at it. I know they're not paying for the paint and they don't own the house, b...
The original Poang has a little bounce to it already, no? Not a rocker, but just a little gentle "give"--or maybe I really need to tighten every darn hexnut...
As the first 2 posters say, mix something into a clear varnish. Sand might not be enough to provide real traction. A neighbor of mine had her concrete steps redone, and the feel is much grittier th...
I wouldn't do a room entirely in the Closetmaid-type stuff; just looks cheap (and I have some of that in a small closet in the loft--attic--level, but I can close that closet door) and not pretty.
What makes this any different from, say, the companies that make whitening toothpaste for smokers, helping them get the yellow out? Are they not enabling, too?

It's hard to be sure without seeing the bed's legs, but the proportion of the upholstered headboard and the side pieces make me think it might be Room & Board's Ella bed.
I don't think I could ever block a window--I need light and ventilation! On my block, there is a house where a bed frame and I think the edge of a bookcase or dresser is in front of a window. I wou...
That's what makes Old Town Alexandria Old Town. (That, and the Board of Architectural Review!)
When looking to buy, I checked out a few Old Town rowhouses (beyond Old Town, I've gotta call th...
Forgive ME for being stupid, but what is this word you use--"Ironing"? It's never used in my house... (lol)
$140 will buy you a lovely bottle of the bubbly!
I replaced my "Victorian"-looking things with Minka Concepts and a Minka Cirque (which has turned out to be my favorite). I had gotten them through Expo; too bad that small D.C. fan store is close...
I have CB2's version (I got it in silver--but the truth? What M! wrote: When it's completely filled with books, you barely see the base--and thus the color "disappears"). No sturdiness complaints...
Check the Yellow Pages under "Powder Coating."
A powder-coating business is a lot more likely to want to do a small job than an auto body place (when I wanted to have my black metal TV consol...
As Lily says, it's a nice natural look. Esp. with burlap; I doubt there's a way to make it perfect, unless you spray starch it and stretch it on stretcher bars. And who wants to deal with that.
At first I thought "Oh--those frames above the bed are not the same size" (not that I'm OCD or anything--it's just that it's not a look you typically see!)--but then I focused on the art itself and...

Me, too. (But really--regardless of the price, an Ikea table is considered "good stuff"?)

Ha! We are all such cynics, aren't we, thinking the same thing! But it's true, man!
Doesn't steel retain a lot of heat?

sweeeet! (uh, what's this post about, again?)

Beautiful! Very relaxing for any relative or friend stopping in Boston for the weekend. (Can I be your friend, BPC guys?!)
