I'd pop into the Rockler woodworking & Hardware at Lake/Lyndale and ask the staff/check the board for people that do veneer work. You could also bring the chair there and ask the staff for DIY ide...

The brick and mortar Room and Board outlet is SO much better than their website clearance items. There are loads of sample, custom, and slightly scratch and dent items that end up at the outlet (b...

Many leases and ownership agreements prohibit adding gel fireplaces. And often, your homeowners insurance will increase. I'd skip the fake fireplace and go with art.

I'm not at this stage yet, but I'm fascinated by this bowl that isn't suctioned down, but is gyroscopically weighted so it can't be dumped over.

Nostalgic Warehouse makes great reproductions, which I've found on amazon for surprisingly reasonable prices. http://www...

great design

I don't think a nursery lacking a window is mean, but I do think it is unsafe. In most states, there needs to be some possible exterior egress in a bedroom. This means an exterior doo...

Out of curiosity, what is wrong with it? And how long have you had it? I'm considering some Oeuf pieces, but will spend elsewhere if long term quality isn't good.

The potted plant looks good with the cabinets and tile. How about a terra cotta orange on the kitchen walls, and some of the dining room (the rest could tie into the blues and whites in the rest o...

I have a Parsons, and it is SUPER well made, yet easy to move. I had to give my last R&B catalog to a moving crew member who had to have the bed after moving it. I can't speak for She...

There is predesigned prefab (the various kits and such that are often featured on sites like ApartmentTherapy). There is also custom designed, prefab. The design is dictated by you an...

Scarred by sharing a bathroom with one sibling? Seriously? Try a family of seven (2 adults, 5 kids - 3 girls, 2 boys) and one bathroom. You learn many things, including but not limit...

It screams for a hamper (preferably pull out, so you can have shelving above).

Try http://www.vintagetub.com/asp/bath_accessories.asp they have soap dishes and tub caddies designed for ...

Home Depot also sells Benjamin Moore Swiss Coffee in premixed cans in several finishes.
