Some of our friends freaked out when we chose to replace some super-old windows in our house last year, saying we were ruining the integrity of the house. Though it's pretty dang old, our house wil...
We're in the midst of a major renovation and I currently have one of these in my bedroom -- a really neat one that my husband made. Most nights I consider pushing it out into the hallway before we ...
in my house, I always match:
- salt and pepper shakers
- flatware and drinking glasses
- hardware like switchplates, outlet covers, drawer pulls on a single piece of furniture
Great timing on this post, as my husband and I have been working on building a banister in our house for the past two weeks. I've got balusters on the brain, and my brain is officially hurting. So ...
I like it, especially if you look at it without comparing it to the original. I might've painted the legs (white?) if it were mine, but it works this way too. Great job!
I vote #1. It's a very beautiful rug, and you can pull lots of different colors from it than just the burnt orange. I think it really adds depth to the overall look.
#2 adds too much ...
I saw this somewhere else awhile back, and I thought it was a great idea for using in a laundry room.
I hang a lot of clothes on hangers to dry, and I normally use clothespins to kee...
I like the neutral colors -- but I absolutely hate jersey sheets! They cling to you while you sleep and get all bunched up and twisted. Like carter76 said -- too stretchy!
Where I live in the MD suburbs, I have close access to both Baltimore and DC .... but my area has almost no crime and is much less expensive than northern VA. There are actually farms and beautiful...
I wholeheartedly agree that we all need to be conscious about our consumption for multiple reasons, and I do buy used, reclaimed and sustainable furniture/household items with that in mind. BUT the...
just love that bedroom, and the way the living room opens onto the patio is amazing.
however i don't like how the couch and the rug in the living room have such a similar color and te...
The fireplace/book thing is interesting to look at but not that practical.
I might consider putting drawers under my stairs a la image 4 though, if I had an idea of what I might store...
I hope you didn't drive back home to get the iPod...
When I lived in an area that didn't have a safe place to run, there were a few times when I accidentally showed up at the gym with...
Thank you, TheoJ. Anyone who thinks this should be a bright, happy fairy tale for kids may want to consider reading the book for a more accurate (non-Disney) portrayal of the story. I thought it wa...
I use reusable bags when toting my groceries so I'm not knocking the concept, but $40 for 5? They're definitely cute, but that's like a whole week's worth of groceries for me!
I don't particularly think old radiators are a huge eyesore if they're clean. In fact I think they're kind of neat. Much better than those baseboard contraptions that run the length of your entire ...
YES!!! Exactly the type of inspiration I'm looking for. My old-but-charming (well, possibly charming someday...) house begs for a kitchen like one of these. Thanks!
I've seen these things up close, and on top of their obvious ugliness,they are also ridiculously flimsy. The pricetag surely doesn't reflect the quality of craftsmanship -- an easy bake oven could ...

i like boldness in a small bathroom, but most of these kind of make my eyes hurt.
