From personal experience, I can attest to the fact that having an indoor swing for the winter is a fabulous idea. As long as it's *very* well secured.
I was fortunate enough to grow u...
Curtis -- that would work for a window air conditioner, Kristy's (and mine) are built in to the wall. Take it out and you have way more problems than just a bit of a draft, you have a huge gaping ...
I have a wooden box, which is covered with some sort of plastic (previous tenant had it made to fit the unit) that goes over the a/c on the outside, which helps, but even with that there's a draft....
Hi, all! I guess I'm going to have to take an Incomplete grade on this Cure... Life has a way of throwing unexpected things in one's way. My father (age 95) had a fall on Thursday, and broke his ...
Raikenn's spaces are always so beautiful!
As I scrolled down, and saw the top of that mantle, I thought, "Hey! That's lorijo's fireplace!" and I was right. Looks great, lorijo!

Everyone's doing such great work!
Basically I didn't get anything done since last Friday (until this evening, when I started on the kitchen). First my mother was ill, then I was a lit...
Yay! Another Canadian! Hi, Jenny!
Floors will get their due this weekend. Why do I always procrastinate about doing the floors? It's not that onerous a job, it's not that big an apa...
MayaLau -- those murals are gorgeous!
I'm doing a Cure Lite (although I haven't formally "signed up"). I've just blogged my answers to the Cure Interview in a very long blog post at
Hi, Nina79 and Gaditana -- I think in the past, European Curers have participated in the NY group, as the "closest" to Europe (still pretty far away, though, and likely different issues/concerns)...
w00t for Pixie! Thank you so much for speaking up about the Cure seeming to be sort of shunted to the side in favor of other things. It used to be a more central part of AT -- on the old site it ...
I'll just be doing a Mini Cure this time, a sort of "Tying Up Loose Ends" Cure. After participating in so many cures, I don't have a lot left to do, especially since I accomplished quite a bit si...
Having never watched "Friends", I didn't pick up any vibes the way the first three commenters did -- I just knew I liked it.
Why is it that if something recalls (for some) a date in re...
As I was buying my copy of this issue, the cashier said, "I think this is the most beautiful bedroom I've ever seen" (the Muskoka bedroom is featured on the cover). It's incredibly peaceful-lookin...
Love the fabric on the chair in the first pic, but what I REALLY love is the miniature drafting table, chair, and lamp on display in the first pic. It is fantastic!
My drawer dividers don't look all that special, but they work, and they're nearly the same depth as the drawers -- I use empty tissue boxes. They're all the same size, and they're cheap, and they ...

And yes, Ursula is the cutest!

Well done, Mrs.Mack! It's amazing how quickly things disappear sometimes. I've just put together a "before" set on Flickr --

Love the souvenir-tray table -- that stylized beaver was called "Amik", and he was the mascot of the 1976 Olympics in Montreal.

Love it! Jewelry as art. I don't find it too busy, just intriguing, looking at the different pieces.

Having grown up in the "mid-century" that is now so cool, it all just looks like ordinary furniture to me. (oops, is that heresy?)
