Well, as the Investigator in me spent the last several hours searching for that print/duvet - without success - It dawned on me that it can be very easily made. Duvets are the easiest home DYI project if you (or a friend) have even a minimal sewing skill.... that's the route I would go. It would be substantially less expensive I'm sure, plus it becomes distinctively yours. ps: absolutely LOVE that room... all of it ;-) Source For Duvet Cover?

Absolutely LOVE it! It resembles my ultimate DREAM HOME! The bathroom is to die for! The entrance doors are exactly what I have visualized leading out to my atrium, surrounded by a 12' brick wall, as I couldn't imagine leaving it open (as desired) in my 'hood ;-) I also am in love with the artwork (photo/painting ?) of the woman and cart with orange wall... please identify artist! ...oh, and THAT statue behind the couch... amazing!

Dear Dave, I LOVE you! (Thank goodness that's my husband's name too ;-) Found your house tour trolling AT when your foyer pictures caught my eye. My favorite picture: Jesus with the booze! My favorite 'Dave' comment: "I have room in my heart to love all kinds of stuff and enough personal energy to realize it in my place". Your Lakeview abode is my all-time AT favorite ...at least until I check out your earlier tours...which I will do right now. Bravo! Creativity and a keen wit to boot!

What a beautiful kitchen rehab! Love the wide plank flooring, the bar area and the horizontal cabinets next to the fridge. We too took advantage of Ikea's kitchen sale and ended up with free appliances :-) I am in the final stages of the install (innards and doors... countertop delivered on Thurs) and am thrilled with the ease and common sense instructions! I built them all myself... Brilliant engineering those Swedes have! We used the lighter version of Adel and the results are fab! Hope to submit our garden apartment one day...

Growing up with an Italian Nonna, gnocchi and polenta were common and much loved meals at her house. She used to make squash gnocchi with butter, 'puina' (dry ricotta) and poppy seeds. The first time I tried to make gnocchi from scratch was a Thanksgiving dinner with my brother. Unfortunately, I used too many conflicting recipes I found and ended up with (only) mashed potatoes for our meal ;-) That was the last time I attempted a scratch recipe... I DO think the packaged gnocchi and polenta are good substitutes... Her Polenta was an all day ordeal that left a heavy pot with a crust that needed to be soaked off... What's the Difference?
