I definitely do not change it seasonally and my art doesn't necessarily match my decor. Art is art and its not decoration. Do You Change Art Seasonally? Reader Survey |

Went here on my trip to Portland. Highlight of the trip. Pretty much the coolest shop ever not to mention Wood & Faulk's studio is upstairs. Amazing! Beam & Anchor: A 7,000 Square Foot Haven for Warm Industrial Housewares Store Profile |

rats, I got excited! I have read a lot about the sharpies for fabric and have found that they dont have a good tip to make defined lines, they are more like a "brush" tip. The Easiest Personalized Pillows Dear Lillie |

I thought they were from Crate and Barrel a few years ago, someone I knew had those identical ones. They have a lot of different trunky items yearly, also keep an eye on them, but they are always a bit pricey. Storage Trunks Like Erin and Danny's from Target? Good Questions |

Wow! Thanks for all of this. I have a lot of homework to do - mission new couch is beginning! Just a little side note about the Karlstad. We did get it second hand but it was in great condition, we even got a new slipcover straight from IKEA to replace the brown one the previous owners had. But slightly over a year later, our new cover is ROTTING off! its all discolored and the edges are disintegrating. I did a little research and found out that the foam is made out of some crazy chemical that reacts badly to upholstery and therefore causes the material in the covers to break down. The feet are also bent and the center of the couch is sagging. Its one of our only forms of sitting (in the main room) so it does get a lot of use but we don't abuse the thing by any means. The seemingly scary stuff its made out of is also a big reason I'm on the hunt for a new sofa. Any one else experience this with Karlstad stuff? Good Couch That Will Fit through Narrow Stairway?

The sofa we have is the Karlstad one, I am not partial to any of the other sofas that come apart from Ikea, plus, they just aren't good quality. Thanks for all the advice! I will definitely check out the recommendations. We could have the couch lifted through the window with a crane but we wanted to save that for the move - out one day, instead of splurging to do that just for the sofa.

I give assignments. I mostly have potlucks with my close group of friends so this is very do-able for me. On the invite I let everyone know what the "theme" may be (if there is one) and I give each person or couple invited a particular kind of dish to bring, for example, a non-starchy vegetable dish, a starchy vegetable dish, a dessert, or a salad. It seems to work out well and people seem to enjoy the challenge of fulfilling their task. And you have a well-rounded table! I think the host should always provide the main dish and dessert. But that's because I love to bake! Potluck Etiquette: What Are Your Rules? |

I also use my swim goggles, I have been storing them in my silverware drawer for years. Does the trick! And yes, shedding a few tears over an onion IS that bad. Its not just the tears, its the stinging, I normally have to leave the room (or the entire floor). Best Way to Stop Onion Tears? Put Bread In Your Mouth |
