@ alisaan: As noted in the last line of the post, the chair is the Brommo deck chair from Ikea. I have two of them and love, love, love them.

@ThatGrrl, you're right. Looks like it's a Vika Amon top ($45), with the Vika Fintorp legs ($30).

although beautiful, I have serious doubts as to well those curtains would actually work to keep out mosquitoes. They might deter moths and other bugs drawn to the light, but if mosquitoes are a ser...

I second the suggestion to look at Duravit. Their Vero Handrinse basin is a much nicer version of this concept - and comes out only 8' from the wall.

If you're looking for easier laundry detergent options, try Dropps. You can take as many as you need with you (just put them in a crush-proof container. I don't bother with dryer shee...

I don't know what you can do with it, but this question made me think of a article in Cooking Light that compared nutrients in Greek vs regular yogurt - the greek had way less calcium (presumably l...

Nice idea, but I think that fold-out shelf is much too small to re-pot plants on. At least for me - but maybe I'm more mess than the average gardener. I can see potting soil going everywhere...espe...

is it just me, or are both of those examples really tall for headboards? They seem a little out of proportion. Of the two, I like the idea of the first one the best, but I would proba...

I love granola bars - and love making my own so that I can control what goes in them/how sweet they are. My current favorite recipe is from Heidi at 101cookbooks (I use the one in her...

~$4 for 2 lbs seems really cheap for mussels. In Seattle (right next to where Penn Cove mussels are farmed) they seem to run about $4-$6/lb. Still not super expensive, but definitely not as cheap a...

those look like vintage DUX chairs....agree, they are lovely.

@Emilyg - like Marthag said, if you have the tare weight for your bags, then the cashiers won't need to remove the items while ringing them up (cashiers have told me that it is illegal for them to ...

@venus_thames: I believe Lush makes a bar shampoo - haven't tried it yet myself, so I can't vouch for it, but their other stuff is great.

@Lorim65: I think the flower is an English Daisy. Not sure of the true botanical name.

Rolen - maybe you could make friends with someone who lives near a TJ's and have them mail you some - it would still be cheaper than buying them from WS. For a little extra scrubbing ...

If fridge space is not an issue for you, you might also try making muffin batter that is designed to not all be cooked at once. Search for 'refrigerator muffin' recipes - I know Fine Cooking has an...

I am shocked that PB didn't sell out of that nautical entryway cabinet. *grin*

@semidevine: I don't think it's someone trying to pass off a fake Gustav Stickley piece, just Stickley. (Ask Google or go to stickley.com).

easy oatmeal for one in 5 minutes (or less) combine in a microwave safe bowl of appropriate size: 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats (not quick or instant) 1/2 cup wa...

agree with all the others - these would be a pain to clean - and probably a pain to fill with any icing that's not pourable. To keep filled pastry bags/plastic bags filled with frosti...
