Twlight slate blue.

I use pole-top roman shades, with the pole or rod hung inside the window frame. You can get these at pottery barn, but the company store's linen ones are much more affordable. I've had no problem...

I prefer neem oil. Sesame oil works well too.

Echoing Cleveland here. I lived on 3rd and E. Capitol over for a month the summer, and never noticed the 'vanes. They're lovely! I did, however, notice how 'Capitol' is spelled. And I was only ...

Or you can use the sinucleanse system from walgreens for 6.99. It really does work wonders.

I agree with Seaside- the blue looks fabulous, and would look even more fabulous on more walls. And where are your pictures? Every wall needs something on it, not just color. Be fearless, satura...

You live in a 20-unit old apartment building? You're not going to get rid of the mouse problem. And I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this- I don't want you to freak out -but it's never just on...

6 thonet for $850? I have 9 I found at the local habitat for humanity shop at $7 each. Am I rich now?

So much of this is about the names, and the associations they conjure. Ace Bandage Beige and Pancake Makeup Beige both sound horrific. As does baby poop brown. Add to that paint st...

Sorry, *here* are the bonky balls (for cats and parrots): http://shop.robbinspetcare.com/cats/bonkyballs.html
