Are those GUS*Modern sofas dogs? I ask because they've come up on Scavenger a few times, and they're always only about a year old. Anyone have personal experience?

I miss Domino a little, but their aesthetic ran a little too girly-girl for our house, sometimes. But I'm still mourning Blueprint.

Brilliant!

We try to eat local, both for flavor and to support the local economy. We even drink mostly American wines, though certainly don't have anything against imports. Oh, and we do eat bananas regularly...

That looks really nice! Are you finding that the tiles stay in place, or do you need to reattach them from time to time?

Does anyone know a good source for a robin's egg blue paint color, close in shade to the one shown on this post? Can't seem to find quite the right shade of that or the Englishy grey/green I someti...

Is it just me, or does this toybox not seem super safe? There's the sharp edges, but also, on the company's web site, did you see the little girl playing, essentially, under the lid? I...

It's a shame that these all have such sharp edges. It's a nice idea for a family-friendly room, but I'd be worried about those corners with my baby.

Has anyone made a hybrid dining/playroom? We are moving into a new place with a 9x12 dining room off the living room... in the past, we've done our share of entertaining, but I anticipate fewer for...

Hi - What store is that?

I love that your baby's room is filled with personal and hand made items. Very nice!

We use some red-lidded plastic storage dishes from Ikea; don't remember what they're called. One full batch of ice cream (using Lebovitz' recipes, mostly) fits perfectly. The shallow, rectangular s...

Very cute room! We also wonder where you're storing his clothing, though. As for lead in chalk, the key is to use a brand that is tested for lead. Info here:

No, not every time. You really only need to do this when the pan is gunked up. Nine times out of ten, we just wipe our cast-iron pans clean with a kitchen towel.

No soap! No steel wool! Definitely use coarse salt; nothing fancy, just coarse sea salt from the big grocery store. A couple tablespoons of that with a splash of water, and you've got a natural abr...

I would love to see an AT feature on vases, sometime. When it comes to pots and pans, for example, I know the basic sizes and shapes I need. But a primer on five essential vase sizes/shapes would b...
