While I prefer "real" flowers when I can get them, I use high-quality fakes or dried flowers to fill in or to ensure I have my favorites around all the time. My favorite flowers are peonies...

Looks great!

That is aaawwweesssommmeee. I love the crisp fabric (could it be sunbrella-type outdoor fabric) and the white looks fabulously clean and is probably easy to touch up when it gets too b...

A couple thoughts: 1. I like the nubby fabric idea - an olive-green colored linen 2. A red - like the Toulouse Lautrec combination seen here:

Anywhere and everywhere. In the bookshelf, on the bed, under the bed, in the window seat, on the bathroom bench, in the garage.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. I already survived it once, maybe that's why it burns my eyes. My husband, who missed it, seems to like it.

Please. White fluffly kitty, dark hardwood floors. Need help.

I use softclaws fairly regularly with my cat. I can put them on by myself. Occasionally if he's in a mood, I use the towel method (kitten burrito-ed in the towel), but otherwise, I simply do what...

Parents coming??? 1. Spazz out a little - gets the adrenaline flowing which helps me... 2. Clean like mad 3. Go shopping a. their drinks of choice (makes people h...

I must say, pet month is my favourite time on apartment therapy. Might not be a bad thing to have a separate sub-area like the kitchn for the pet happy all the time.

I've been using the new Breeze system to fabulous results.

Why is it people so often ignore the question? The question is not "how do I solve my dog getting on the couch", rather it is "how do I deal with cleaning in this situation". I see this repeatedl...

My husband and I are both ironing fans. We both like to wear nice clothes for work - and that means serious ironing because we like to keep dry cleaning to a minimum. Occasionally, I'll iron line...

I think add the sea glass blue to the rug & throw pillows as well as arranging the furniture so that the side chairs flank the mantle (if the space allows it) and put some coordinating art behind/a...

Weird, I thought it was directed at me. The name and all. I second the used item selection. Alternately, a cheap desk with a matching file/tabouret type deal might work really well.

I love the headboard system. Doesn't work in my space, but I can see where it could be used to great effect.

I like the idea of a pleated or roman shade that just covers the window area. I wouldn't necessarily duplicate it across the room, but I would pick up colors.

My friend used these at her wedding and no one could tell it wasn't a fresh-cut floral bouquet. Much greener than using flowers that last a day, and it will last a long, long time.

I'm allergic to wasp stings - should I just let nature take its course? Toss the epi-pen and just let evolution take its course? I certainly understand some things - don't park yourself unde...

The blue is also thought to ward off wasps (because the wasps would be tricked into thinking it was sky instead of a dark safe place). The haint blue is also good for making it feel just a bit coo...
