The cash register holding dog treats makes me happy! I love this kitchen!

I love my rough linen sheet. It's the only sheet I need (duvet cover on top may eventually get replaced by a rough linen one). Yes, the price was expensive, but it was worth it. I wash the sheet it the morning and hang it to dry by bed time. Tricia rose is super duper about filling and mailing your order, too. Wonderful product, wonderful company.

I grew up in Pullman eating this cheese. It's wonderful! I never knew people thought cheese in a can was weird or bad. To me, it's always been the good stuff.

Normally, I'm in the "don't paint the wood" camp. But this is lovely - the best of both worlds. You get the crisp look of white paint, and the lovely wooden drawer fronts. Plus, I like how the new design highlights the geometry and proportions of the piece.

I was prepared to hate this re-do, but was very surprised to love it upon clicking through. I love the paint (and I usually dislike the painted wood furniture). I love the numbers. It's awesome.

I agree with A Conley. This is art - and it's not offensive to artists to call it that. Art is what speaks to you - it is subjective. I think this is a lovely project, and it may be derivative art, but each person who does this project is going to get a different result. Each will be customized to its creator's preferences. And if it is valued, it will be art. Not only that, this project is a great way to get those people who don't believe in their artistic abilities into creating something beautiful.
The reason I dropped out of art school was because of snobby "not-art" attitudes.

I got three of the Ikea pendants suggested by EWm for my recent kitchen remodel. In fact, my remodel was so beautiful that when I had to rent my house out, it was rented by a professional chef who fell in love with the kitchen.

I'm in favor of impromptu tea parties. They can be held for any age, and any/both gender. All you need is tea and cakes/muffins/scones. They don't last too long, but you generally get good conversation.

If it were me, and I were building walls, I would consult with an architect. Those people are amazing at visualizing space, and can tell you lots about what will improve the value and function of your home.

My favorite navy right now is Behr's Observatory. I'm using it for my kitchen cabinets.
