My own mother passed when I was just two...my dad, who just recently joined her, was a dumpster diver. I believe he became an auctioneer so he could more effectively "gather". I recently down-sized and swore that I would NOT keep bringing home this&that. You know how that worked out. Turning Into My Mom, One Room at a Time |

You can bet Anthro Corp. has outsourced their labor, slashing costs, while raising their prices, ie., profits. Then they take the ca$h and bankroll the candidates of their choice. Sigh. So unoriginal. Let's hear it for Etsy and all the talented, creative artists out there with a great forum to offer their wares to the discriminating consumer! Love all the finds here...makes me want to spend the next 4 hours doing the same type of "reseach". The Etsy Challenge: Anthropologie Looks for Less |

The Outer Space patio is the only one that seems inviting to me. The coldness in most of them is perhaps what cityfolk qualify as nature. Sad. As a former independent nursery manager and garden designer, I am keenly aware of design issues that can constrain a garden area, but it seems as though these designers forgot the point of a garden in the first place.

Just voted, but not for the one I wanted to win. ;) It's a pleasure to be able to return to your beautiful space and enjoy it again. My kids live on the Hill and the rowhouse has it's own challenges. Can you suggest some antique/consignment stores you like? Congratulations again on your talents. Skyla's City Oasis Small Cool Contest |

Love all the plants that ALSO love that bath! :) no home is complete w/o plants. The curtains between kitchen/dr and bed are great. Very nice space! Juanita's Breezy Style Small Cool Contest |

I now understand the phenomenon, though I have never set foot in one of their stores. CL has SO much IKEA, half-priced and preassembled, I may never go. Plus the six to eight hour roundtrip keeps me from making impulse purchases brought on by "I can always return it if it doesn't work" thoughts. Breaking Up In IKEA |

Love everything. You made my day. So many entries have left me scratching my head(really?). The color combo is to die for. Chinioserie is my favorite. You are exceptionally gifted. When I visit DC to see my family, I'd love to see in person! Too pushy? :) Skyla's City Oasis Small Cool Contest |

I was just looking at a great frame with a not-so-great print in it I bought at a second-hand store. This is a fabulous idea! Turn an Unloved Painting into a Chalkboard Positively Splendid |

Great job! Great finds! Great style! My kids live on Capitol Hill, I live in CA, and the DC Craigslist is the Bomb! I drive myself crazy scrolling through furniture, household and general there. Kyle & Erin's U Street One Bedroom with a View House Tour |

Truly a standout space. This is a winner in every way. I have never had the nerve to try reupholstering anything beyond a dining chair. You are giving me courage! Kathryn's "The Couch was the Catalyst" |

Beautifully done. I can't say there is anything I would quibble with. I'm going to steal your "I'd rather be thrifting" theme! A refreshing change from the tired Eames era rehash. If I see another Noguchi coffee table/Eiffel chair or rocker, I think I'll scream. It's nice to see some 'sparkle' and fabulous style, and thrifting keeps you out of danger of overdosing on the tired favorites from the big boxes. Anyone can go to Ikea/Target/PB/DWR and fill up a cart. Plus, thrifting is SO much fun. For me, it's all about the hunt! FAB-ulous! Game over; I'm not even going to submit now...maybe next year ;) Rashon's Thrifted Treasures |

Reflections is my favorite, with Back To The Fuchsia a close second. Nothing else really resonates. Pantone Palette Predictions for 2012 Home & Housewares 2011 |
