Griffin: I've often thought that as well – however, I'd never actually been *in* a decently-done pink room before. It's actually really nice, psychologically, IMO. Just a positive...

Not a fan of the mural. However, I do kinda like those birdies...

maryx3 -- I think it's because the chandelier has the look of those faux-chandelier wall decals that are so ubiquitous right now, except it's... 3d.

for that matter, where can i find one of these, that is recycled, online? thanks!

It was hard to get the feel of the flowers when I saw them in the vase by the door, but when I saw them in action-- they really do look lovely. And your dress! Way to go. :)

I picked up a bag of red lentils from a top shelf in my pantry. Oh, it was broken. Red lentils rained forth from about 7 feed in the air. And bounced! They covered quite a radius. I swept a little ...

We don't even have to comment about something in particular? How about the household object I would paint red to match this chair? Okay, I'm game. I would paint.....my toe...

licorice, anise, fennel... :(

I have two and one half shelves of books. After a few college-years bouts of brokeness that involved me selling off my current collection, I lost the will to hoard them. Now, I can afford to keep m...

i googled it and read that it lets the apples cook well without overbaking the crust.

I've done something similar in my container garden and love it. However, just wanted to point out something I noticed on a neighbor's porch – if you cover the body of the pot (not...

It's not that I wouldn't do this. I just wouldn't blog about it... so kudos for irreverence!

Ditto, Doris.

Kitty hair! My boy Geofree sheds "like whoa", and well... I shed too. Plus I bake a lot, so this would help with the inevitable occasional crumb mess.

i agree with maude's direction toward room and board — but i personally think the pisa in ebony (or whatever you prefer...i think ebony) could be really nice. it's got the dark li...

This won't solve the problem completely, but perhaps you could paint that far wall white. Try keeping that entire wall, art and all, shades of white with possibly touches of light color in the art....
