I spent last weekend at my boyfriend's parents' house in Sedona. The living room is the original one-room cabin with a fireplace, two of the bedrooms have wood stoves, and there's a fireplace in the dining room. They don't have city gas lines, so everything is heated with propane and those stoves. Rustic, wide-plank wood floors, timber ceilings, and the ubiquitous cliff-dweller, "adobe" style seen all over Sedona. It's such a beautiful place.

Oh noes! What happened to that beautiful, antique sideboard? If you don't want it, give it to me!! My boyfriend's mother has one just like it and it looks like a million bucks in her Sedona home. Before & After: A Granny Office Goes Modern |

I think it's beautiful! Personally, I'm getting really sick of stainless steel and straight lines. I'm starting to really enjoy a more antique, rustic look. In This Kitchen, It's All About the Brass Workstead |

When I lived in snowy Michigan, it always made me feel great to bundle up and take a brisk walk to class rather than taking the bus. I warmed up after the first 1/4 mile or so and then it felt wonderful to have the cold air on my face and my waterproof boots sunk 6 inches into a snow-covered sidewalk. When the sun was out, it was even better. Now I live in Arizona and miss it so much! I've become for-real acquainted with cabin fever out here because there is nothing you can do to cure 6 months of having to stay inside because it's summer.

I would definitely use a little in pancakes, waffles, or anything else that doesn't need yeast. It might work okay to mix in a little with pizza dough? How Can I Use Organic Ezekiel Flour? Good Questions |

Yuck, definitely don't. It might look cool, but consider all the critters that will make their home in stacks of firewood... even if your place is spotless, they ride in from the forest as eggs and then hatch into your warm home. Firewood belongs outside! Do or Don't: Stacked Firewood |

Yeah, I would have done a lot less updating if it were my bathroom... I would have even kept the shell toilet lid! The striped wallpaper was yucky, though. Before & After: Lightening Up a Guest Bath Thistlewood Farm |

I'll suggest using a combination of regular flour and corn meal. The corn meal adds a fantastic texture to otherwise dense and sleep-inducing pancakes! Can You Help Me Make a Homemade, Whole Grain Pancake Mix? Good Questions |

The suggestions in Bird Watcher's Digest are pretty funny. What's with the mylar-wrapped toilet paper tubes? That's so weird! Wouldn't a metal wind chime do the same thing, without looking completely ugly and crazy? Songbird Strikes: Protecting Birds from Your Windows |

That thing about furniture polish makes total sense, finally, because my mother would use Pledge every time she dusted. If you ever accidentally swiped your fingernails over the dining table, you would get a bunch of gunk under your nails. I always thought it was so gross, and never knew how it got to be there. My mother was a fanatic about cleaning, but the wooden furniture was always sticky and gross. Easy To Make Cleaning Mistakes Woman's Day |
