Ok...It's been about 17 years since I took geometry, but isn't it a2 + b2 = c2

@beth dooher- ditto, ditto, ditto

I thought the same thing!

I've been saying this for years whenever I see these posts. Especially for furniture in kids' rooms!
Unfortunately, the preservatives and chemicals used on wood pallets do make them risky for close daily contact. They are treated with pesticides and fungicides, too.
I wonder why people would worry so much about pesticides in their food and then bring something like a pallet into their home.

I love the Eurobath. When my daughter was really tiny, we put a towel in there for support. Now she is 8 months and still fits great. Actually two 8 month olds fit in it. The best part is the molded interior that accomodates little babies on one side and bigger sitting babies on the other. It is large, but we put a hook on the wall of our shower and a strong through the hole on the edge of the Eurobath and hang it up in the shower when not in use.

Why are my surfboards in the garage and not the house? They are a hassle to get in and out of house doors, they are wet and sandy when you finish surfing, the light in a house yellows boards, and the wax can melt if it is in the sun. I was pretty happy when I moved into a place where my boards didn't have to live in my living room.
Also, I am pretty shocked that this is included under "green style" as currently most surfboards are still pretty bad for the environment and use toxic materials in their constuction. So I guess if someone wants an ugly old non-functional board in their living room to "make[] a stylish, beach home statement" then it is preventing that board from ending up in a landfill...

I think of this issue whenever I see repurposed pallats as furniture, especially in kid's rooms. Yeah, it's recycled (upcycled?), but I'm horrified by the thought of the the chemicals used to treat the wood! Yikes!

Oh, I am 7 months pregnant right now...and nothing sounds better than a montreal bagel, rosemary rock salt or sesame! Yum!

I was just thinking curtains, too! Easy fix! Something colorful, bold. Done.
Also, a rug would not hurt and maybe some personal photos, on walls or hutch.

I absolutely adore my le creuset, kitchenaid stand mixer and lodge cast iron skillet. My husband and I were just commenting on how the le creuset and cast iron skillet were really the only pots/pans we used, except for a random pot to boil water. Funny also that my grandmother just yesterday showed me a beautiful heavily glazed stoneware salad bowl that she got for her wedding 54 years ago and told me she is willing it to me!
I just need the handmade serving platter, but I actually have a few beautiful ones that are working until then, which is more eco-friendly than buying a new one at this point.
