Cute... erm... makes me dizzy looking at photo. Dun want to 'magine climbing. nononono. The handrail is a cute concept too. But that doesn't make me dizzy.

Just because the gravel 'must' be there (which doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me) doesn't mean it's the only thing that must be there. I agree that a fresh layer of gravel will look nice. I...

I side with Seaside's answer.

It is a very pretty quilt indeed. The pattern is called "Grandmother's Flower Garden". My own grandmother made one for me when I was a baby, and I'm sure you can find lovely commercial versions b...

EvalnNL - hurray for baby basils! You can very gently transplant them when they have one or two pairs of full leaves (not their baby leaves). I use a fork to carefully dig the root system out, an...

I don't often pop open AT and say "oh wow!" The implementation of your imagination and vision is inspirational (alliteration not intended). Many of these images are now saved to my computer! I'm...

Everything is so...new. It's like old imaginations of what the 'future' would be like - everything looks the same, clean, neutral, shiney. You have many pretty furnishings. Don't you have things...

Careful with magic erasers. They like to remove paint from colored walls.

Ooo! Thank you for the wind chime source! I've been wondering for a few months now if it's really time to replace my shell wind chime. Weather (and winter) can certainly take its toll on th...

This makes my heart sing!! What are the essential elements that tie together the liberal use of color (as seen here for an example)? My eyes crave brights and contemporary colors as well as ...

Blanket/sheet/clothing lint, pet hair, human hair, shed skin = dust bunnies. As long as there is something reverting to its natural chaotic form, there will be dust bunnies. Stop growing new...

Cute. Cute joke, b-rad. ;) It's delicious to see Mackintosh even mentioned in passing. He doesn't get the lime light that some others do, though lord knows his style deserves the attention!

I had bites and a few bugs in one of my apartments during university years. Google (and mom, god bless her) helped me identify the source of those strangely uniform bites. That night I washed, va...

Without doing further research on the photo in this post, those cabinets certainly appear to be stained, or varnished at least. That is a far cry from unfinished wood (which generally has a slight...

Thank you for reposting the source. I put a pretty Japanese paper on the bottom half of my bedroom window two years ago, but tape and paper start to sag over time. I look forward to finding an al...

I can't stand the hideous beige linoleum in my rental. I've wanted to make a floor cloth ( http://www.sandpoint.net/~rafter4/floorcloth.h...

I'm impressed when I see things like this, but at the same time they scare me. I get quite frightened just living in an apartment when a huge storm comes through complete with tornado. I can not ...

Mead. It's hard to find proper mead in Indiana. I had three bottles that I was keeping for 'something special'...then one day I thought, "Today is Tuesday. I'm alive and happy. Today I...

I'm not seeing the inspirational connection from lotr at all - not for the habitat as a whole. Lovely space. Lovely book. The two hardly connect here.

I borrowed a huge bottle of iron-out from a friend. It leaked (without my knowledge) first a few drops on my desk at work (had to clean that after the weekend). A cup or so spilled on t...
