Totally agreed that the Goodwill containers need to be in place fist-otherwise your "donate" pile WILL end up in the trash instead, which is really sad.
I think it's beautiful and daring (and maybe the artist isn't allowed to remove the wall tiles, which would be ideal but no reason to restrict your creativity). I think small spaces are just the r...
Geez, this rainbow baked-goods thing really went viral this week in blogland. It would be really cool to do tonal, graduated shades of a single color...if I were so inclined.
This is really inspired-I have a lot of Mid Century pottery/dishes/trays that I'm afraid to use with food. That paint color is the perfect foil for the varying shades.
Contemporary Cloth, Repro Depot, and (don't knock it till you've checked it out lately) Calico Corners. Oh, and Ebay-this is probably the best choice if you fall in love with something high-end an...
I wish my school had chairs like these! Hey, why don't they use their design talents to make a chair that hides exposed butt-crack? Chairs always have that gap in the back, and it makes for a fairl...
It can't be made to work, it shouldn't be made to work, it's too old and it wants to die and you just won't let it. No, no, no. Do not do any of the crazy things people have suggested. Your room is...
I love it! It makes the ornate tub look a little industrial. And you'd never be able to get the kids out...but when you did, adults could have a little fun with it as well.

Agree about crafted items and natural materials (esp. burlap/linen in that rough, natural oatmeal-y shade)
Also reclaimed wood/deconstructed furniture as well as more and more creative "hacks...
They are likely from a "game table" set, where there would have been 5-6 of these chairs and a round or octagonal table that sat lower than a dining table to accomodate game-playing. Likely circa 1...
You've gotten great advice from those who know-call a domestic violence center for steps to follow. As for me, I'd like to say continue to care....it is so, so rare a thing to find in this "not my ...
Of course everyone has said this, but paint the doors out the same color as the walls so that they blend in. Also, may I suggest something other than sage? You have filtered light and sage will com...
PLEASE tell me anything you know about the maker/origin of your dining set. It's such a perfect blend of Modernism and Deco (to me). Gorgeous fabric choice, too! I really love your style.

Number one has got to be a Hicks room, right? You should use this as one of your "guess the era" quizzes. It's hard to tell. http://modernhaus.blo...

Hmmmm, using a lid is a useful step that I usually forget (damn! why won't this cheese melt?!) http://modernh...
