This is good news, since the only stuff I will buy from them anymore are the little things.

I use glass jars for all my pens, pencils, paintbrushes, x-acto knives, colored pencils, markers, etc. with only like stuff going in each jar. They're lined up all neatly and it's easy to find stu...

I loved this one. i wish it had made it to the finals.

Seriously ...?? People need tips on how to clean their own homes?? Jeez ... I would never hire someone else to clean my house ... if I can't take care of it, I don't deserve to have it. And hone...

I think I'm the only one who does NOT like that orangey-red. I hate it, actually.

I was in his "corner" already, but he definitely gets my vote now that I know what he plans on doing with the prize if he wins.

Oops, he says technically yes in SOME places, but it's rarely enforced anywhere. I don't know if they're necessary in NY or not. Anyone here know? What about for changing light fixtures? That's...

Same thing happened to me! I totally wanted that too. I gave up and bought a vintage walnut piece, but I still think about that great mirrored bar, so I'd love to hear if anyone finds it too.

Wow. Gorgeous outdoor space!

I personally hate quarter-rounds, as it's easier to tuck flat furniture (such as tall bookcases) tight up against a wall with just shallow baseboards. As for the walls above ... I don'...

My dad's an electrical contractor turned general contractor turned building inspector, and when he came to visit last time I had several dozen switches and outlets waiting for him to change out (I ...

Wow. I'm glad I missed this catfight the first time around. I just got a warm fuzzy seeing the same color as my front door featured here.

mint, perhaps they don't have it anymore or they only sell it in stores? I can't remember when I bought it - at least a year ago at the Chelsea store. If you live in New York, perhaps you'd want ...

The chair next to my bedroom closet. It ends up with piles of clothes I change my mind about wearing each day that I don't have time to hang back up in place before running out the door. First th...

clickchick, I had the same thought, too. I have a feeling that building had the same developer as mine and my friend's building two blocks over ... both of our apartment were built with the option...

There was a thread recently about magazines that we all keep ... I recently threw away all of my Met Homes, Elle Decors, etc. and only tore out 1 or 2 pages that I wanted to keep. On the other end...

If you like the laundry station above, I got a similar one (but much cheaper!) from the Container Store. The top is also padded/covered for use as a ironing board and it has two bars that swing ou...

For the record, I think this place qualifies, I just wouldn't have chosen it if I were a judge. I find much more inspiration to take away from the homes that have been put together/built/organized...

Three ... Windex, Target All-Purpose Cleaner, and All-Floor Cleaner for my Hoover Floormate. They all fit in a little plastic tote (with sponges and gloves) and that then fits inside a bucket. It...

Laundry has become my new thorn in my side. I actually like doing laundry, but hate dragging it up and down the stairs of my walk-up. Thankfully the laundromat's just up on the corner and it's bi...
