Very leaky. Also, the plastic snaps on the liner rubbed on the baby's hips. He had nearly-raw spots by the end of the first day. I couldn't get any of the other parts to stay put u...

Wow! Gorgeous, just gorgeous!

It's ok, not stunning, not awful. The only thing I really question is the height of the bed. A small child should have a bed that she can get in and out of easily. I would never, e...

I have nothing against minimalism and in fact find it very appealing. But this little patio doesn't look at all comfortable to use. The bench is handsome but if you sit on it your back would be a...

Oooh, nice! I especially like how you arranged the rocks and used the different sizes for contrast. Very well done. Not too many people know what to do with rocks!

Tackiest gift we ever got: our own wedding invitation, burned around the edges to make it look "antique", then framed. We threw it out since the people who gave it to us never visited our home. ...

Roman blinds in linen!

Isn't that the same round coffee table you listed a week or two ago?

Paint stores sell a grit additive for paint to use on stairs or wherever an anti-slip surface is needed. It is similar to sand but is clean. Sand has dust and dirt in it that will sho...

"everyone agrees these folks are probably jerks with their prius, beets and echo park address" No, only a few people brought that up.

Very nice! I love those IKEA planters too. I bought a bunch of them in different shapes and sizes this season! Best modern style planters available and the price can't be beat.

I had the three-arm floor lamp version of those table lamps. I got it at an auction. It wasn't marked in any way but Sonneman sounds like a likely manufacturer.

Lovely!

Rotate half the toys out. Kids don't need all that stuff all the time; they're happy with a few things for awhile and then when they need a change you can swap out the stuff in storage and it'll s...

The table looks really clunky and heavy next to those slim-lined chairs. Painting or staining it isn't going to change that. I say start looking for a table you do like and put this one on Craigs...

Dark plants are even more dramatic when contrasted with light-colored, bright plants like the lime green suggested above. There are some lovely yellow-foliaged plants available and lots and lots o...

Most of those plants are going to get a lot bigger than that little strip. They'll be running over the squash vines with the car. And yeah, the contaminants are something to think about. I would...

Lovely! This is the look I'm aiming for in our yard. Very inspiring!

Wool can be steamed to remove stubborn wrinkles. It's a very malleable fiber. Most home irons don't produce enough steam to do the job but a dry cleaner would have the right equipment.

Great job!! It's beautiful!
