Sculptural? Yes. Any other pluses? No. My daily rinse away of sink gunk would take on a whole new dimension with this thing and use WAY more water to just wash it out than the half cup or so it tak...

Ouch! "Back in the day when organic was unheard of"? In the 90's? I was gardening organically in the 70's...and no, I am not from California. Point is, organic gardening has been around a long time...

This sofa is gorgeous. Personally I'd do a soft warm grey like Benjamin Moores San Antonio grey, add plenty of white and a few blue accents. Very elegant.

Maybe a little late posting my "me-too" but still want to say thanks for this post. I love seeing the lovely creative ways others live with less. I downsized to 560 sf last Jan. and am livin...

Love the squiggle idea and also the Sock Monkey ( actually like the monkey idea best). A book or something similar seems kinda lame. Photographing the "object" in our homes would be great fun since...

How about four hours south of DC in rural VA? Hey, we got design out here...there is even a Target over in Roanoke!!! Seriously, though, I have often wondered why Atlanta has no AT rep. I gre...

Me too. I am eternally grateful to own my humble little home. I want to help others have a decent place too.

Mrs. Mack you did a splendid job and thanks for the tip. I had heard this before but had forgotten it. I have always been a fan of carnations (love the fragrance). Nice to see these ideas on...

When I tried to sign up at the beginning I hit a computer snag and wasn't able to get on the "official" page, but I cured anyway. Got so much done that I hadn't been able to find energy/inspiration...

Nope. Looks like left over school bus paint. Ik!

No, no, LaurieLu it is "bare"....like him. Partly exposed, down to the essence... It speaks of being safe enough to be real: no need for cover or pretense. I LOVE IT!!

Sometimes we get caught up in color and forget about value. As fabulissime pointed out, a dark chocolate would be more soothing, would make the dining room walls "dissapear" and give the app...

My bedroom is tiny and has to double as my library, which is cool because being around books relaxes me, however, the ten foot closet on one wall has an 18 inch door in the very center and NO other...

KTG, thanks for the input. I do like the elegant look. I also like the idea of "retro" ornaments. Perhaps I'll poke around the local thrift stores and see what I can find. holland, Mic...

RE: silver tinsel trees. I started life over last Jan....no kids, no spouse and all the Christmas ornaments have been divided up and given to the now grown progeny as seeds for their own col...

but how is it we can never get through a "Staircase" post without someone tossing out the "Safety Hazard" line? Cause gorgeous stairs are so damned hard to navigate in a cast and back ...

I "contended" with my ex for years during our marriage about doing this with our old beyond-repair-hardwood-floors. When he finally reluctantly agreed he and I both loved them. They took a small, p...

A Frank Lloyd Wright turned aluminum vase at a yard sale. I still grieve.

I had a client in a small town in Appalachia who kept a pet Bantam rooster in her house. It never had been outside. She kept a kleenex in her pocket and "picked up" after him whenever and whereever...

I'm firmly in the group that doesn't care a bit what is in the can as long as it isn't icky preservatives etc. Growing up in the south one could never be sure the orange colored pie on the t...
