It's such a shame when an interesting home is turned into an everyday blah.

This is delicious! We made it today with bacon bits and feta cheese. Just perfect!

We painted our renovated basement Sherwin Williams SW0073 Chartreuse from their Suburban Modern palette. It looks great in artificial light and every surface is a different shade. I love it.

What's your take on a tenant reporting immediately when things aren't working?

I have a friend who just moved into a new house he is renting from an out-of-town couple and is afraid to tell them that the A/C is causing a puddle on the basement floor. He doesn't want them to think he's a "trouble" tenant.

I think he needs to report everything wrong right away. It's only fair so the homeowner/landlords can keep their house in good shape.

What do y'all think? Can I get a landlord's opinion on this so I can share it with him?

Thanks!

Orange. I love Sherwin Williams Kumquat.

@possumlady I'm with you. I've stayed away from used upholstered furniture since my son had a bedbug infestation in his apartment.... 500 miles away from me.

I just don't think I could ever convince myself that a piece of furniture was "clean."

I collect lamps and lampshades from the (mostly) 1950s. I find them separately and pair them up, usually stumbling on them in antique malls and shops where they think they're ugly and have no idea of the value, so I get them pretty cheap.

I'm sure if I wanted to sell them, they'd be worth a lot more as lamp/shade pairs than as a collection. My kids call "dibs" on the lamps they like most and want to inherit. My husband is supposed to keep me from buying more, but he's the one who often points them out to me saying, "You've GOT to get this one."

I recently came across some really good ones at a great price, but all I could picture was bringing them home and putting them in the "lamp graveyard" with the rest of the lamps that are currently out of "rotation."

I probably have about 50-60 lamps and 20-30 shades (all of the shades are fiberglass and many of them two- and three-tiered). It's a great collect--I think.

I actually couldn't think of a cuter floor to go with bright polka dots. I think it's pretty whimsical.

I guess that's how you give away a $10,000 bed! Server error for the win!

I love these!

That first one looks comfy and snuggly, but let's face it... if you're under a tent, you're not under the stars any more than I'm under the stars in my bedroom.
