I agree with heatherleaf's suggestion of a soft yellow wall. Perhaps something like Behr's Pale Daffodil shade - it reflects light beautifully and looks good with a number of combinations.

My favorite color is sky blue - aka Carolina blue!

I have ordered this from Pottery Barn and I was incredibly disappointed by it. It was poorly made, in comparison to the outrageous price. It can absolutely be a DIY - my husband made one out of real wood (instead of the MDF the Pottery Barn one is made of) for a fraction of the price. We even added baskets from Target to make "drawers" on one side for small supplies.

Cat - we don't stop him from being on the sofa. The leather sectional in the family room does not appeal to him unless there is a blanket on it. The ultrasuede sofa in the living room is just his style - and it's the only fabric he does not try to scratch up.

Dog - not allowed on the sofa. But he's a puppy and still testing his limits, so he jumps up there every chance he gets. A couple of times, I have allowed him to stay up there because it's hard to resist him - just don't tell my husband.

Anyone know how tall the height adjustment goes in this chair? I love it (original vs. knock-off argument be damned) but am looking for a chair that can go with a 36" height desk.

If your garbage disposal smells funky, cut a lemon up into a few pieces, put down the disposal and run it with scalding hot water. It gets rid of any yucky odor!

Also, I rub half a lemon and some kosher salt on my wooden cutting board to get rid of stains from strawberries, sauces, etc. and freshen it up.

It's a toss-up between two songs that could not be more different -
"I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" by Gayla Peevey, and
"Christmas in Hollis" by RUN D.M.C. Both get me into the holiday spirit far more than "O Tennenbaum" ever could.

The red is HOT!
