i agree with the critical comments of this space lacking personal touches and individuality. it's like a DWR showroom. yawwwwwn.

that said, the architecture of the house is stunning, love the artwork and the finishes, fixtures and the kitchen are all drop dead gorgeous. nice use of outdoor space too!

yeah, i agree with nora. that is really depressing to think a bed will last only a couple of years before getting sags. does anyone have a bed the absolutely love, and have had for years. my husband and i are in the market for a new mattress and cannot decide.

I'm not having trouble with the slideshows at all. Although, I have to say that this whole site is buggy as hell and very slow loading. As an interactive designer it drives me insane!

So we throw biodegradable food into a plastic bag that won't biodegrade thus sealing the biodegradable contents within forever? How is that better??

If you have already tried to get a label off without this method and it's in pieces (and it's on a hard surface, not paper) use Goo Gone. The stuff is amazing.

I was all excited about this until my husband just informed me his grandfather had one in his beach house and it kinda, excuse the pun, "sucked."

He said it didn't work that well and was a bitch to clean. It seems like they may have improved the suctioning, but now I am wondering what cleaning it out would be like???

Our kitchen is very retro. I hung graphic plates from Pop Ink over our gorgeous little retro Merritt and O'Keefe stove. They can easily come down for cleaning and they are high enough up so that fire danger isn't a risk. My plan is to eventually cover that whole wall with graphic plates.

Just to reiterate what someone else said above, that IKEA fabric isn't a small print. I've been trying to get it as well for a small dining chair recovery project, unfortunately it is really popular and the Burbank IKEA store is sold out. The pattern is actually very large and spread out, the image on the website doesn't convey that at all. I think it would look fabulous on that chair, but agree that it would be one hell of an upholstery job. Here's an example of what it looks like in reality:
