I too hate the wire coming out of the top of the lamp. I have a lamp like that, it was a gift. My temporary solution was to tape the cord down to the back of the lamp, ghetto, I know. If it was in ...

Shana- I don't get a newspaper either. You could pick up the discarded ones at your local coffee shop, or you can use paper grocery bags cut up. I don't bring those home anymore either but I still ...

I like everyone's suggestions. I think a folding screen or curtains would be great!

Does anyone know if this lamp can be hardwired into the ceiling or is it just a cord? Is it bright enough to hang over a kitchen table and get enough light?

I actually sent a question in to the SF board about finding a lampshade for a lamp I have but it hasn't been posted yet. Right now there is a drum shade on it that it came with but it doesn't look ...

I love that coffee table! Does anyone know what it is? I do like pastels when then are combined with just the right colors. Pastel pink with a sunny yellow or aqua with red is great!

I recently made a cold salad with farro. It is super good! I combine olives, artichoke hearts, cucumber, mini tomatoes, red peppers and shredded roasted chicken. I make a dressing with olive oil an...

I'm hand quilting one right now. The corners don't match but it's still cool. I'm also taking a class at a quilting shop and learning to do things the right way. I love it!!

I read some of the comments that were in the article online and I was so frustrated to read some of the things people were saying. It's because of articles like this that feature these kind of home...

I've made this recipe and it's pretty good!! http://thenextdayissomeday.blogspot.com/2009/...

Funny...I submitted this same question with the same picture last week. I guess we have similar taste!

Fabulous finds! I'm hoping for the coffee table!

I used a medium gloss. Every brand has a different gloss scale, I forget what the gloss level that I used was but it's not too shiny or dull. That wasn't a very good answer was it?!

Thank you! Hollandstudio - It was all latex water based paint.

I've noticed that a lot of people find inspiring images on Flickr. How do you get started with that, where do you find the good images? Are there groups that you can find? I'm not familiar with Fli...

I'm in love with this house tour. I think I had an interior design orgasm when I saw it the first time.

wow, I didn't realize my kitchen would be the main photo in the post! The footstool was actually quite ugly and yes, it was an 80's-esque stencil. Not cute. It is now primed and sanded white. I don...

Reminds me of those t-shirts you can put on with the buff woman in a bikini.

I'm visiting Boston next week and attending a conference. If I have some spare time what should I check out? Most likely it will be some time Wednesday afternoon. What kind of weather should...

These prices are reasonable????
