My husband made one just like this for me. I found a slim tower to store my sweaters and we added lazy susan type hardware to a base for the bottom, plus a mirror secured to the backside. Under $15...
I love the rug-the pattern and color brings a good dose of whimsy into a stiffly formal setting. Without it and the pouf, the room looks like something I'd expect to see in Architectural Digest.
Where is the drain? The water on the floor would bother me if I had come in after my husband's shower and ended up with wet shoes/socks/feet, plus the problem of tracking it back through the bathro...
One of the best ideas I used was to put a giftcard inside a cd envelope with a big bakery cookie, then use a sticker picture of your child's face to seal it.

I replaced my front door mat with a nice rug a year ago after I realized that a small door mat would cost around $25-45 and I could get a 3'x5' rug for about the same price. Suddenly, my front porc...
I was lucky to get this handed down to me by family. I have some of these pieces, and it's cool to see that the brasilia line must have been pretty big in its day. I use the credenza in my kids' ro...

My daughter has come up with some great ones-
an elephant named Vacuum Cleaner, 1st and 2nd baby dolls named Baby Baby Doll and Mama Baby Doll and a set of 3 identical babies named Doh, Singl...
If it's really easy, do 1 front leg in the stain and the other to match the handles-you'll only need to redo 1 when you decide which you like best. I like matching the handles-the piece is pretty d...
Parttimedesign said it first and I agree-a bold neutral. Saturated tans, greys or taupes will look great, allow the other finishes to stand out without overpowering the color. Great job on the othe...
We took off the box spring and stored it underneath the bed, leaving a few inches sticking out for a step. When my daughter grew big enough not to need it(around 4), we put the box spring back unde...
My 7 year old daughter will soon get her own room and has always wanted red walls. I've been lobbying for doing each wall a different red, so when she decides she hates the fire engine red she's be...
I suggest Dansk-I had similar problems 15 years ago with an inherited floral set and simple modern everyday china. My pattern isn't available, but the style, quality and weight of my Dansk flatware...
I was wondering if anyone would be 'offended' by the head chairs. I bought a table and 6 chairs-1 head chair-at an estate sale when I was out of college and thought the 1 chair was odd-why not 2? Y...
We have 2 floors, both with rooms where toys are allowed, and others that are not. The toy banishment began with the kitchen table while we were eating-'No Toys at the Table' is the first rule we s...
I've been happy with all my Ballard purchases over the years-lighting, furniture and decor items. I'm working at a modular desk right now that's been great for my home. Quality has been excellent. ...

Ooh! Little Edie would be so pleased!
