Gorgeous-ly simple and relaxing. And that kitchen table -- that is exactly what I have inside my head for my coffee table -- anyone have a source for a coffee table in that vein? Love the rustic,...

RE: clash versus contrast. Not to be argumentative - the dictionary definition of clash is "to create an unpleasant visual impression when placed together". I have nearly this...

Anything in the yellow to golden tan family would complement -- cooler colors will clash. Paint the fireplace and the ceiling pure white.

home body articulated my initial though much more effectively than I could have. Wrap it up onto the ceiling if you can. What is it made from?

My advice -- WAIT until you have spent some time in it to see what you really need/want. If this is a vacation place, you don't need the same amenities that you need at your weekday/full-time plac...

madfish, is it this one? http://www.unicahome.com/p19073/kartell/victoria-gho...

Just some comments from someone who has made too many mistakes buying outdoor chairs: 1) Regarding 'surpisingly heavy' comment under C&B chairs. I have heavy outdoor chairs that are h...

My R&B sofa started sagging after a few months (only on the most used cushion). My sofa is leather, though, so no way to wash the cover. After much re-fluffing/flipping/cushion switching, I am al...

bepsf, Curious to know which of your lists gnomes fall under.

I don't understand what these are for. Seriously, and I am not being condescending, what is the purpose? If they are in lieu of coasters, wouldn't a knitted one just get wet and transfer the wate...

The Vizio VECO320L comes in white (and it's Energy Star). I am saving for this one!

I saw the same turquoise-colored trash can in Homegoods last night. Love these colors together -- so happy & beachy

I think this is why they call it a 'washbasin' and not a sink. In a sink, we spit toothpaste and my husband shaves (can you imagine wiping out all the little black beard hairs from this thing??). ...

JoeyBrill -- I was planning to order some FLOR this week after much research, sample ordering and deliberation ... what do they smell like? Is it a chemical/plastic smell? Which FLOR do you have?

The in-store sale/clearance often has much better selection than online. I got a coverlet (quilt?) for 75% off because the matching bag that it comes in was ripped (this particular blanket was sti...

It reminds me of when Lucy & Ethel try to wallpaper the bedroom with striped wallpaper and they did it so crooked that they lost their balance every time they looked at it. I admire th...

Forgot another really good one: FLOR.

Best: Zappos, Pottery Barn, Room & Board, Wonk Worst: Smith & Noble, Home Depot, Continental Airlines I find independent shops much easier to deal with -- I will often pa...

I looked for similar pillows for 2 years -- then finally found them at Area in Lambertville NJ. They are gorgeous, plush velvet stripes on a canvas fabric. Since then, I have seen cheaper versio...
