i can't speak for the other furniture makers but eastvold custom pieces are the best quality furniture made by hand with thoughtful design carefully chosen materials. we own/have owned a number of eastvold pieces and have only been thrilled with them. you can rest assured a piece bought today is tomorrow's heirloom. (and he's a great guy too!)

i've been trying. i used to have a tab devoted to a.t. and checked it throughout the day. no more. blech. sorry folks. lost me.

apparently freezing doesn't work.

i have my sweaters in a cedar cupboard with moth repellant and traps and my knits still get eaten. i just don't buy anything full price anymore. it's just too upsetting when it winds up eaten :(

we have that wallpaper in our dining room and kitchen! it's a couple years old now and starting to peel. protect your corners and seams. it's sort of fragile stuff; lovely, but fragile.

love the kitchen. gotta echo the silly idea of winter scarf wearing while (at least posing as if) cooking.

my kids and i watched this episode and all agreed it was not for us. too much of everything (which is so for just about every "designer" on hgtv.
however, we loved the vintage map-joy to the world idea.

i did that and much more when my ex finally left. smudge, clean, paint, purge, rearrange, throw a party. do it all. over the years, when i've come across some random thing left over from that previous life, i dispose of it as quickly as possible.

frozen alexia yukon golds. so easy! add what you like to them or leave them as is.
some call it lazy. i call it smart(!); especially with potato allergies in the fam. the steam and possible cross contamination that could cause someone to have an anaphylactic reaction isn't worth the homemade bragging rights.

very cool! (though those ring pulls can't do anything but make me think of pierced nipples....)
