I adore them- and living in the uk means there is less likely to be such scorching hot weather that results in your bottom getting burned. Imagine them on a very modern roof terrace. Or in a garden...
My apartment is small- 286 sq feet, and I have managed several parties with about 40 people each time. I found it easiest to move everything to round the edges of the room, not even think about foo...
Am I the only person that thinks 650 sq feet is HUGE? I know it's not really the question, but my flat is a third of that size and I don't think it is especially tiny.
Julia B, I totally agree with you, and I am now thinking about about a fire proof box for my own important items. I was lucky enough to inherit a bed and a few other items of furniture from my late...
I am with you Emily (sorry whytephoenix). I adore it. I think everyone would want to be my friend if I had this table- but I am domestically disinterested as far as cleaning is concerned...
This article made me laugh- a lot. As a student nurse I was taught that the opening of a pillowcase should face away from the door or entrance to a room. This, I was told, came from Florence Nighti...
Well this topic has brought the worms out of the wood work! What works for me, in my 286 sq ft apartment, is to have guests use my bedroom whilst I sleep in the living room. It sounds very altruist...
It seems I am the only person to start packing an hour before I leave for my trip- but then I do pack light. A friend was gobsmacked to see me leave for a weeks camping with only a carry on case an...
Some great ideas there. My flat is also tiny-286sq feet, and EVERYTHING has to work hard. I suggest some boxes under the loveseat for extra storage, someone else suggested a footstool that is also ...
I love the curved wall. In Edinburgh, curved walls are fairly common, especially in Georgian flats, and are seen as VERY desirable. In estate agent parlance, they are bow-ended rooms. It looks as t...
Wow! Just read the above comments- what a kind group of people responded, and included links too! Davester, if I am ever looking for anything, I am especially asking you! It was very nice to read s...
Just imagine you are visiting a new friend's house for the first time- and you see the skin furniture, and perhaps the rocking chair with legs. Run away! Run like the wind! Do not look back. Delete...
I live in a tiny flat in the middle of the city, and wouldn't dream of hanging my washing outside, although some of my neighbours do (someone might steal my knickers!). I don't have space for a tum...
How about a camomile lawn? I am not sure if camomile will grow where you live, but if it does, then it will survive the occasional car driving over it, and smell lovely when one does!
We use saddle seats at work, and have found them better than anything else we have tried. The only problems have been when someone has tried getting off them as they would a bicycle- and promptly f...
I have had some success using hot soapy water and a pair of cotton gloves. As I have eczema, I wear a pair of vinyl gloves underneath the cotton ones, and then simply run my fingers along the slats...
I have garden envy! Lee and John have obviously spent a long time planning and getting the structural parts of the garden just right- and created something that feels effortlessly relaxed. One day ...

They certainly reduce volume, but they (sadly) don't reduce weight. Oh those pesky airline regulations...

I totally agree with Lisa (Montreal)- pink would be fantastic, and very sexy.

Laminate them, and turn them into bunting.
