I love Ravelry! I have stuff on there but mostly garments. Their search engine is great. And once you find a few things you like, you can click on the names of the people who made...

Here's what I would do: - Put a rectangular dining table perpendicular to the tall cabinet to the right of the stove. This will define the room and separate the living and dining area...

Those of you in the York/Lancaster area of Pennsylvania, check out PA Fabric Outlet, with stores in Lemoyne and Lancaster. They have tons of great upholstery fabrics (and some dressmaking fabrics,...

I hate eating in bed, too. I don't even do it when I'm sick. That said, the only really practical bed tray is the kind with legs. Then you at least don't have to worry about balanc...

Lovely! It looks clean and warm and interesting. I like the variety of light, too.

Wow. All hat and no cattle. None of these look particular functional. That giant floor lamp in the last photo is just asking to be bumped into constantly. Storage looks limited in some of the e...

You know, IKEA has a lot of countertop samples of all sorts that you can hold next to the display cabinets. It makes picking a color pretty easy.

ladymantle, people behave differently in a restaurant than they do at home. They sit down, they're waited on, and they're expected to leave when they finish dining. There's no need to get up and ...

I like some dolls. I also like taxidermy and clowns and dog statues. And I suspect I'm not the only one...

Editor: what line of reflection? You're looking at the wall reflected in two mirrored doors of a medicine cabinet opposite the wall. The line is the edges of the two doors. I think ...

Jose A, i don't think the circles are as large as they look. There's a lot of lens distortion there. Look at the dead leaves on the ground at the bottom edge of photo and then look at the size of...

Do slides fade in sunlight?

Couroc of California made trays for several decades out of a black plastic-type material with inlaid designs. The inlays were mostly woods and metals, though they may have used stone a bit, too. ...

The weave gets skewed during processing after weaving, or when the fabric is wound onto a bolt. Loose weaves can get off grain more easily than tighter weaves but even a very tight weave can get o...

Burlap smells too strongly of hemp for me. Maybe the smell goes away after awhile but I have never liked it well enough anyway to find out. If it didn't smell and if the grain was s...

Paint the cabinets but choose a color that will not make that beigey countertop look dull and grubby. That will rule out a lot of whites. Is the floor vinyl? If so, I would get some ...

Those are transparencies in the first picture. Maybe that's obvious from looking at it but the written description only calls them photos.

We had a very small fridge when living in Denmark but it worked well for us because the grocery store was just a few blocks away on foot. We did our marketing every couple of days and never had to...

I love #2, if it's glass and at that price it has to be, right? I have three white cased glass 60s pendants that I got at auction for a few dollars each. I need to get cone tops turne...

There are some really nice vinyl composite tiles out there. These are mostly used in commercial and instutional settings because they're so durable and inexpensive. The downside is that they have...
