ndvheller, I can't say how it compared to the BB version, but I can sing the praises of the T2. And this up "until three" limit is (I think) a US guideline. When we bought ours I'm pretty sure it...

so lovely. yes, please.

My old upright went out in a blaze of glory (well, more like a huge depressing cloud of smoke) and things haven't been the same around here. It's replacement, a remarkably picky canister vac, refu...

the Out-haus is sold separately. The DWR house takes me back to my long-ago wish for a tiny house compound, one small structure for each room, built as money became available, tucked a...

Oh, Gregory. Sorry. I can only offer sympathy and a similar story. Our infernal light was installed a few feet beneath our third floor apt. Normally wouldn't have been a problem, but we lived n...

Yes, please. Always happy to beta test.

We made the Ricotta Spaetzle about an hour ago. Turned out beautifully! Called it Cheesy Poofs for our two and a half year old daughter (it should be a few years before she gets the South Park ref...

We've had one of the Laptop Lunch boxes for a year now and have been so pleased. It's actually my husband's, who can be fairly hard on things; it's been tossed around, whacked against the car as h...

I have friends who have done exactly what mariegael suggests above and it has worked out well for them. This may offer the perfect avenue to compromise: the shelves just below ceiling level can on...

Thanks so much for taking the time to do this. We've used Montessori in our home but have been stumped when it came to finding affordable, stable wooden shelves. The Molger shelves are a perfect ...

While we eat together every night, I wanted to avoid what I remembered from childhood, my mother's stress at getting a dinner on the table by 6 when we were all exhausted, especially her. Since my...

We moved from a house to an apartment building when our daughter was 2 months old. It was an old building: thick walls, nearly no transfer of noise other than heavy footsteps. But when she was ab...

Without a doubt, "Consider the source." This has served me well when faced with everything from middle school gossip to years of reading literary criticism to the whirl of advertising ...

I'm so glad you sumitted Lucia's room to the contest. The touches throughout the room are airy and delightful. The "upstairs" bed is great (and as a family with more than our fair share of snore...

Such an inspiring room! The color contrast in the changing table photo, and the way your art is set off against those colors, is so striking. And what a great idea, integrating family collections...

Cora is such a beautiful name, and what a perfect space you have created for her. I echo the comments above re: the furniture. Lovely and useful -- the duel-sidedness of the shelves is a perfect ...

This space is lovely. Not my style, but when something works this well I'm no coziness partisan. Nice suggestion from joel maria pirela if you were inclined to treat the bed as a sort of jewel in...

Really like that wall of shelves. Highly adaptable and treats the room's proportions as an asset, as a unique feature. Just a fantastic use of the space. And your color choices allow the toys to ...

Blah. Blahish Beige. That is the color. We've been good renters, painting is forbidden, and we have such a good situation that we haven't wanted to rock the boat. But I'm beginning to contemplate...

and with us that grunty crying only lasted a couple of days. Last comment. Sorry.
