We have a little aluminum machinetta that we used frequently when we had a gas stove. Now that we're in a house with an electric we have not used it at all (the manual for our ceramic cooktop warne...
I have to disagree with the comments about smooth, flawless walls being a prerequisite to pulling off this look. My home boasts plaster walls dating to 1920s, and I'm not the least bit afraid of th...
Glad to see this post! I just picked up a vintage burnt orange velvet sofa and loveseat on Monday and I've been trying to figure out how to tone down the retro just a bit. This is one of my favorit...
Timely post. We've been looking for something to fill the window boxes on the front of our 1920s Dutch Colonial Revival. We'd prefer to stear clear of greens, gourds or berries but while our tastes...
I like a few feathers here and there, but the feathers ON the place setting kind of grosses me out.
As far as the ethics of feather decor, I don't think that AT is promoting factory fa...
I agree with aster about the brackets - they were immediately noticeable in the photo. I'd put them inside/behind the drawer rather than underneath. I would also worry about walking into them or ba...
The bottle brush trees are really cool, but I'd prefer a "natural bristle" version. I'm still hoping that we'll be able to swing a Possibilitree this year:
I get this urge all too often, and favorite things are given the boot in an effort to "edit" my living spaces. Fortunately, I've learned to put things away in boxes in the basement, but not actuall...
Your gender is irrelevant here, as is your disability. You told us in an earlier post that you leave a light on "most of the time". I was responding to that post (and others') when I suggested that...
So, your argument is that all motion detectors are unreliable garbage? Huh. I've never heard of that being a huge problem, and it's certainly not one that I have experienced. Wait a minute - are yo...
We use a terracotta pot (with a drainage hole) turned upside-down on a terracotta saucer on the porch. When finished with a cigarette, one can simply pop it into the hole. inadequate of oxygen insi...
I saw these over at Design Sponge a few days ago, and I'll repeat what I said about them there: The sycamore lamps look interesting enough (if a little clunky), but I cannot imagine having an expos...
Veneto! That gold woven pattern would lend itself well to any season - pair it with bright green or pale blue linens and lots of flowers for a spring/summer affair, autumnal colors and acorns, bra...
abc123, cross-contamination is not an issue here - the dishwasher sanitizes the things you put in it, and itself. Your bathtub analogy just doesn't wash.
I wish my wastebaskets would f...
To the light-leaver-onners: Stop wasting energy and wire a motion sensor to your chosen light sources if security is a concern - nothing will stop a potential burgler faster than a light suddenly p...

Agreeing with Dj. Appears that most of these cute little critters could be made out of paper and the Legos you already (should) own.
We put a vintage Schoenhut toy piano in the bathroom.

I love wool, so this appeals to me. I don't think I would try it on a large wall, though.

I love it - would hang several. Somewhere. I would like to see a version sans light, though.

ChrisGal, my concern was more for the planet than your pocketbook:)
