We went for a firm sofa instead of a comfy one because we liked the look. We spent a lot of time in stores lounging on various modern sofas to see if we were sure it would be comfortable enough. ...

If it's something very specific I've been looking for, I know it's the best deal I can get and I'm in a position to afford it, I'll jump. Anything less obvious than that and I typica...

I went inside our bedroom closet once so I could pop out and scare hubby. Turns out there was no nob on the inside and what might have been a safety latch at one time was completely immovable. So...

That reminds me I am due for a smudge. I try to do the house periodically. When we were househunting we hubby swears something invisible knocked him upside the head when he was saying...

ooh ooh the Molo Tea Lantern is so cool. I love tea sets. I'm banned from buying any more. (for now...muhaahaa)

Yes anyone know price range? This sounds really fun!

I think ladymantle is at the wrong blog. This is a place for design, not politics, thankyou.

I would urge people not to buy any particleboard furniture from Target. It's not worth the $. I bought a TV console thing as a cheap solution and a few years later it is one sad, sagging piece of...

I have one of the common ikea wicker baskets turned upside-down as a night stand right now. It's small enough to fit in the small wall space between the bed and the closet door. And since it was ...

This is awesome! I love the geomerty. Simple but interesting. Would love to paint and furnish this place.

Actually, the editor said they preferred round, not the person with the question, so other shapes are still "on the table" :) I've been pining for a carera marble top table. Your cha...

I like the first and last pictures best. I'm thinking a backyard daybed thing ...add some white cusions and fabric for a canopy....or a trellis for a plant canopy. Also what an idea...

-Olives from the olive bar at Molly Stones. -Long hot showers. -Getting a quality haircut. -Good mascara. -Eating at our fav restaurant on the weekend.

"...starry night, and the great wave off kanagawa..." Okay I have both of these. Not the great wave one but a similar one by the same artist. I guess I have cliche taste? Ah well. ...

Your contractor is wrong, sledge hammer it out! Cast iron does shatter. We took out our tub that way. Note that a reglaze will only stay bright white for a few years at best, but then will start...

I use one to wipe down my shower. And the other two for cleaning jobs around the house. They are great! Between those, microfiber cloths, and cut up t-shirt rags, I'm happy to say I'm paper towe...

We lived in a tiny one bedroom with no garage or storage space. It was tight and irritating, but all our possessions fit in there. We moved to a house. Small by some standards but big to us. 11...

This was one of my favorite books. How cool!

I want to see a picture of this in a home and filled with books. I think it would look cool by disappearing and really just looking like a nest of books. Maybe some facing in, some facing out. a...
