I'm neutral on the mural, but can someone point me in the direction of that chair? I want to learn more about it!

Nice merge of traditional lines and clean modern silhouettes. Also, can you tell me which paint color you used in the shot with the drop-leaf table and lilac chair? I crave it!

And, uh, "phone" should be "floor." This is what I get for surfing on conference call.

Another Alameda resident -- your place is so cute! Well done. I love your phone.

Seriously? $150-$280 per month? Get thee to a farmer's market and spend that much PER YEAR on beautiful, local flowers instead! Or spend that kind of dough redoing your landscaping.

Hmmm. I had one hanging on the back of my bathroom door for a year (we had no other bathroom storage), and we never had problems with condensation, stickiness, dust or any other gunky malady. ...

So cheery! And if you've got the space, why not display a collection like this in a kitchen? Also, I love that this kitchen is in Newport News. When I was growing up there, the entire...

The one good thing about bifolds: you can open them up and get a good look/ good access to your whole closet. The problem with the sliding doors is there's usually that weird little zone in the mid...

Monkeyme, I think this site is for people in all living situations to get ideas. Lord knows I can't afford everything featured on this site -- but I can use it all to develop my own style vocabular...

My salary's not through-the-roof or anything, but I figure the prices for a light fixture work out well considering it's something I'm going to look at every day for years at a time. L...

Books only get dusty if you don't dust them. That's not a difficult task, nor is it even particularly time-consuming. And I say this as someone with 1000 books in my 832-sq-ft house. B...

boomer, I was very curious about your Prius/Hummer-related statements, so I began looking for cites to confirm for myself. Might your statements be linked to the CNW Marketing Researc...

Why isn't going tankless for every house? (I ask because we're considering it for our two-person household.)

Oh, Chris, I made that commute from Alameda for 1.5 years and yes, it does indeed SUCK. We've got 832 SF, 2 ba/1 br, 1920s Spanish cottage with a perfectly petite front and back yard. ...

Other than a hall, what have we seen here? I mean, it's a nice view, but that's pretty common in an SF apartment. Show us how you've arranged the living room or the kitchen. This entr...
