I just endured the past week spending each night sleeping at my son's home as I turned over my small (1250 sq.ft.),one bedroom +den, home to five family members from England. It was crazy, crowded (numerous bags, both traveling and shopping) chaotic and totally FABULOUS! I wouldn't change having houseguests for anything. BRING IT ON!

When I moved into my new home, I found that the water was harder than my old home (socal vs nocal) and my dishes looked awful. They were filmy and cloudy. I called the service repair number for my brand and was told to try a product called LEMI SHINE. I did and I love it, my dishes look amazing,and so does the inside of the dishwasher!

As a child, I used to wish I could put all of my blankets, pillows and mattress into the tub. I wanted to be enveloped and cozy when I slept. My mom wouldn't let me do that...I wanted the closet, once again, a no from mom.
Two things, I LOVE THE SPACE!, and what a cool Mom you have!

Sorry, not funny. Demeaning to women, and just plain insipid! Find an ad agency that will really understand how the public should receive this message!

Put a shorter "harp" on the lamp to bring the shade down past the socket and bulb. It will look much better. It's sort of geeky like it is!

I'm afraid that all of the design I've seen has been so very amateurish that it's embarrassing these people even call themselves designers.
Sticking fabric samples on the wall with push pins? How utterly stupid!
As a professional, I'm appalled! It does make for good TV, however I'd call show "Design Mistakes"

As a seasoned corporate design professional, I have to say these 2 examples are more than boring. Could say more, but why?

I love this chair, and have used it a couple of times in projects. Part of the beauty of the chair is its clean lines. It deserves to upholstered in a simple, soft, nubby fabric, much like the way Saarinen designed it.
