My Dog brings so much joy into my life, I can't imagine how I got through each day before she came into my life- there is easily one or two, true laugh out loud moments each day.

I met a whole bunch of human friends through her, and lost weight through exercise by walking her.

Pets are truly happiness!

I used minced onion in my bathroom renovation, and it looks phenominal!!

Very cool- I carry paint chips, but this takes it to another level!!!

please, count me in for this one- it would be perfect for my tiny galley kitchen

I am looking at replacing my blinds as well and planning to go with natural woven style shades made from bamboo/grass style natural weave. Smith and Noble has some nice ones and you can get free samples of all of their materials:

You can upgrade and get them lined to keep out more light.

Are you happy with this bed? I am looking at this as well as the Tate Bed from Crate and Barrel, and the Elliot Bed from Pottery Barn.

Is it comfortable- does it squeak? How sturday is it?

Thanks!!

I would like some advice on hardwood floors- I have been in my apt for about 11 yrs. In my main room (LR/DR/Office) I have these ugle wood parquet tiles that I refinished when I moved in. After all this time, they are looking pretty scratched up. Since they are just tiles, I am not sure that I want to bother sanding and refinishing them again. In my bedroom, I have wall to wall carpet covering the parquet.

The whole apt. is about 730 square feet, so if I exclude the kitchec and bath, we are talking about maybe 600 square feet of floor.

I would love to replace the floors with wood planks, and get rid of the parquets, but don't even know where to start- do I need a contractor, or can I find one company to provide the wood and labor? Any idea how much this would cost??

Any ideas, references, pics would be great!!!

Thanks!!!

These trays are gorgeous- I'd love one!!

Ohhhh- chocolate in any form is wonderful, but this time of year chocolate with peppermint chunks is a favorite

I am trying to turn over a new leaf and cook more- my new favorite is risotto!
