Clean offices are overrated, in my humble opinion. It was drilled in me throughout my school years that a clean desk was the sign of an organized and intelligent mind. And for some, I'm certain it ...
THat Pez collection is so amazingly over the top - what a scream! The whole place is like one giant candy store, with bright, smiling colours and vibrant energy. I love it, even though I've never e...
before everyone gets all nostalgic and weepy eyed at the thought of the romantic nomadic gypsy lifestyle, it's probably worth noting that the roma peoples are heavily discriminated against, whereve...
wow, a lot of defensive comments here, masquerading under the life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness theme.
What's the matter?
As a non-tv watcher, I'm off to polish my halo...
I had my own room, as did my sister. We're also 7.5 years apart in age, so we're both more like 'onlies' than siblings (that said, we get along great).

comparing the petit trianon to versailles is like comparing apples and oranges. Versailles, once a hunting lodge, was redeveloped during the reign of Louis XIV in the seventeenth century to capture...
Deck surrounding the tree looks great; however, I feel for kids who don't get a chance to just poke about in the greenery (of whatever sort) in their backyard. That was one of the highlights of chi...

JAnn - children may not jump on furniture (ours certainly don't), but they are far more likely to be clumsy and to spill, scrape, etc. Our eldest son is unbelievably clumsy, mostly because his brai...
If our house was peopled by adults only, then I'd expect all the wood stuff to last as long as we did (even if we passed them on to someone else), and the couches for 15-20. As it is, we have two ...
We have a line that runs the length of our yard (from the deck right through the back and we use it loads. Lots of people here hang dry their laundry - with our winds, things are dry within a few h...
I had friends who very successfully covered a truly hideous wall painting with heavy fabric weighted down with a 1x4 in a 'sleeve' at the bottom. Then they put furniture up against it and you could...
I hate staging, mostly because I hate the furniture and styles that most staging people use. It's all so generic and blah and 'neutral' that it's completely and utterly irritating. In that sense, v...
