I love the idea of adding a span of sunlight and breeziness. I'd do it if I didn't have the capacity for a full-size balcony.

I can second that for sure. Our 1950 cottage housed a family of 5 and their dog before we bought it from the mother's estate 2 years ago. 2 bedrooms, 1 bath. She raised 3 boys there. How on earth??...

I wince at the folks who get down on his job situation. I know from taking my 16 year old out job hunting that Target and Walmart are not hiring in our area and, I imagine, many others as well. Jus...

Wow! Meow! Hey, all I'm sayin' is that you haven't LIVED until you've managed a 20 person design steering committee, trying to get them to all like the same, very subjective, thing wit...

Such a cute, sweet little knight. Happy Birthday Vincent!!!

There was a "recipe" for these in a ReadyMade issue from a couple of years ago. I'll have to go look that one up. I love this idea. This is the kind of bombing I can get behind. :)

My 2 young daughters and I shared a courtyard with a couple who liked to take nude sex shots with multiple people out there in the middle of the afternoon. Educational.

Not to second guess, but did you ask your landlord if you can paint it? Maybe if you offer to give them approval of your paint and color, they'll let you. Can't hurt to ask! We painted...

Angelalds, I second the thing about the sharpening kit, but depending on your comfort level you might be able to do it with a small angle grinder. My husband sharpens ours and it does the trick.

One last VERY IMPORTANT note. Design by committee is a crime against humanity. :) I would have the key stakeholders (2-3 MAX!!!) drive the initial design refinement and th...

I've been a senior interactive designer for over 16 years and have directed sites for clients such as Sony, Illy Coffee, OfficeMax and Yahoo among many others. I have studied UI design and standard...

I just did a post on my blog about picnic goodies and have a couple of extra fun items to add to your list. Love the post here! I've been frothing at the mouth to get outside for some good Ravinia ...

I use iPhoto. It will manage duplicates for you, even recognize facial features and organize them by subject. It'll use the metadata embedded in the digital file and arrange by date. Then you can e...

Perfect timing! This is the chore we had slated for tonight!

Yeah, y'know I have had 2 kids so far and never needed a changing table. Maybe it's just me, but I found it easy to just lay them out on the couch/floor/bed with a changing pad underneath or else g...

I'd sew a nice cover for it. Something T-shaped with 2 panels down each side and 1 or 2 panels (split) down the front.

Eek! LOVE it! We have a bunch of moss on the east side of our house that I was looking at the other day, trying to figure out something cute to do with it. And the little deer, oh my! Too cute.

Yeah, yeah. I know...It just gave me that queasy stomach thing. -Like in the movies when they show a toddler walk right next to a swimming pool unattended.

I'm alarmed by that high-up window in a child's room with no bars or protective covering on it. When I lived in Manhattan I heard several heartbreaking stories about babies who found their way out ...

Try a couple of rubdowns with saddle soap.
