Oh, and what is the square footage of the area heated by this unit? And I second the request for a floorplan, if possible.

The stove is currently woodburning, right? Any chance of installing a smaller gas or pellet stove? Is there actually an old firebox behind the stove/under the mantle that a smaller unit could tuc...

I haven't purchased an Ikea crib, but I'm not at all surprised by the positive comments. European standards for product quality and safety tend to be much higher than US standards. ...

If your condo association allows it, consider getting a lock that has a programmable code feature (some don't since they look different). The model we used has a keypad to enter a code...

Mod Podge over the paper would probably make the cabinets cleanable... Interesting idea, but the pattern makes my eyes itch.

I paid a premium for a brick house (over comparable wood houses) specifically so I wouldn't have to shell about 5 K every 5-7 years for exterior paint jobs. If the upkeep of painting...

It looks like barn door hardware to me. I haven't used this company, so I can't comment on their products or services, but check out some of their items and photos. It is seems like w...

Wow, you AT:LA's are an amazing bunch, reminding me why I like people and what I should be doing with my holiday season. Thanks for the really awesome karma.

I had a clawfoot tub professionally reglazed (smelled insane, so we cleared out for the rest of the day and left the windows open). We followed their advice (don't use it for 48 hours to ensure it ...

urban outfitters makes a knock nelson bench? awesome!

In the globe article, she mentions a similar quote from more commercial places (700ish for labor, plus 8 yards of fabric), and $250 from the prison (who told her 5 yards of fabric...she brought 8, ...

I had to google the prision (the first hit was prisiontalk.com... I like to keep the guys in IT wondering ). The program that trains inmates in upholstry is MassCor, and apparently t...

Craigslist (or salvage store) fixtures would make replacing the sink and toliet even less expensive: I don't suppose this would fit (it could be cut down, but might not be big enough)....

I'd ask to replace the countertop, sink and toliet. If you are at all handy (or know someone who is) this would be a very easy project that I think you could do for around $300 (ask the landlord t...

Oh...I liked the sofa until I noticed the back feet are different than the front. Major pet peeve of mine.
