Yes to what sally305 said.

Tekla dish towels. Good quality and only 50 cents.

Alright, I give up. This place is very Scandinavian. It's perfect.

Inoffensive, but soulless.

I think it's absolutely true that dressing up or otherwise putting extra thought into your party clothes can put you into the right mood to go out. A cocktail party just won't have the right vibe i...

Buying books for the sake of filling up shelves with color is pure silliness, though I guess there are worst things on which to waste your money. But I'll add that bookbindery is an ar...

Maybe it's the chrome or the shape, but this just looks really cheap to me. I think people who are interested should take the advice to save $49 and get one at the dollar store.

I have to agree with everyone else. The molded white plastic, hard-edged contemporary designs (the dining table, TV cabinet) and rustic elements don't really harmonize. Perhaps this is because the ...

I'm not a fan of the upholstered chairs, but that hallways is really cool. The walls look pixelated, but it could also seem like mosaic tiles too. A sophisticated mix of old and new.

The writers or decorators who constantly use or reference Orla Kiely's designs perhaps could be criticized as lacking in originality, but the ubiquity of certain designs isn't meant to be "creative...

I agree with msjessiemeghan. The fact that you're a 'newcomer' to the place doesn't mean he's entitled to leave his junk everywhere. If your name is on the lease and you pay half the rent and utili...

If you can afford it (cash only) and still love it after the initial thunderbolt moment, then why not?

Very Kubrick.

No. This seems really impractical. I have a cat and I have long hair. Imagine how these handsome pinstripes would look obscured by fur and dust (like my drapes can get if I'm not on top of the clea...

A kitchen cart will provide additional storage as well as counter space. If your kitchen is too small for one, I suggest getting a

This is adorable. You could also tuck dried flowers, twigs, feathers, etc. in there too. I'm not sure why it's pale blue instead of white; maybe it's my monitor.

Everyone's priorities are different. I'd rather savor a good meal, being completely debt-free, or a trip to Spain than a piece of designer furniture or a $50 gravy boat. Plus, most pe...
