Yup. Not available in my area. :( The OWN channel finder SAYS it's supposed to be #105, but that's CSPAN.

Ignore the elephant in the room!

I, too, love the towel holder in #8, and I think it could be DIY'ed with glass vases and some kind of way to hold them.

My bathroom is miniscule and desperately needs to be re-done. This gives me some inspiration!

Also, as a side note, what makes this great is that you can make your catalog Private, an option I desperately wish was available on Pinterest.

Picture #4: eeehhhh... too much going on. My eyes would hurt if I had to work in there too long. I think the trick to a good-looking patterned floor is simplicity elsewhere. Also, a patterned floor draws the eye downward to what is typically the dirtiest place in the house (did you notice the trap door in the photo with the black and white checkered floor and the butcher-block island?). I wouldn't mind one in a mudroom or on a back porch, but not a main living area where every little bit of dirt or a small thing out of place is going to show up easily.

My favorite trick is to let the kids do it. :)

Yellow or orange! The colors in your chairs are nice, but won't brighten up a room if you're after color. A nice bright contrasting color that still matches would be great.

Yeah!!! I love this!!! I'm going to go drink the rest of the milk right now.

The patterns you picked are really brown and the greens don't seem to match compared to that citrusy green the wall is painted. I think the Kirby Lapis would look better and brighter. Or a white canvas, like a Sunbrella fabric, with a black floral/paisley print. You could use citrus-colored pillows and change them out as wanted, making matching cushions for the chairs.

Painting the chairs is a good option and one we used in our kitchen. Get a good enamel so it lasts. Can someone craft you a wooden table top to replace the glass one that would work the same way, or do you have the option of replacing the table altogether for a farm table style?

My husband is always losing picks. THIS would be a great birthday gift!

YUM. I've been wanting to make polenta since I ate it in a restaurant and it was soooo fabulous. I've not dared make it at home yet. For this, I will!
