I like rockers, too, but my glider w/footstool is even better!

The title got it right: "hang up"...


Hang Up on Germs: "Washing" Your Phone with PhoneSoap

This is hilarious. Five minutes a month is fine in our house and the room is not disgusting or filthy.

Of course, we have a fairly small bathroom and don't have kids, the infirm, or slobs living here.

The American obsession and ignorance over germs and contamination never ceases to amuse.

Interesting.

I still prefer my hand-painted full 4 walls of bamboo. It's like going to sleep in a grove outdoors. So peaceful and calming!

The hours of prep do not begin to compare to potential years of misery - or expensive replacement - if the product doesn't hold up well over time. I'm more interested in that info than how messy or tricky the prep/application/finishing work is.

After all, it's a _DIY_ project.

When art wants to be something functional as well as beautiful (or thought-provoking or controversial or whatever) then it can't opt-out of being judged by those criteria.

Or, indeed, by any other criteria the viewer/experiencer cares to hold it up to.

Is being critical or someone who is being critical somehow superior? I think not. Pot and kettle...

Oh, and I like the look of this device in the pictures, but learning the details really turned me off, too. Its ephemeral nature doesn't add to its attractiveness, FOR ME. I find it not functional.... = disfunctional.


Parking Canopy Made of Recycled Plastic Bottles Colossal

You couldn't pay me enough to have one in my home.

As mentioned, uncomfortable seating, awkward to get in and out, no one ever wants to be on the inside, and contortionistic to clean.

The idea of it is unfortunately better than the reality.


Banquette Seating in the Kitchen Inspiration Roundup

Hard to say without a full-on shot or two...but I'm not wowed. Ditto the dust/cleaning concerns.


Upholstered Ceiling Panels at Plein Sud Inspiration

In Minnesota? Ya gotta be kidding! Drafts, condensation rotting any wood over time, high energy bills...

Besides, views like that should be in a living/family room.

And ditto the need for northern exposure; an element of house siting that's usually ignored.

Plants That Help You Get a Good Night's Sleep Planttherapy

I don't keep plants inside and my cold hardiness zone isn't friendly to outdoor plantings of these.

I buy pure essence extracts and create some aroma- and visual-therapy with a cottonball (or other absorbent material) in a small, pretty dish. Part of my prepare for sleep ritual.

BTW, does anyone else not particularly are for the scent of lavender?

Shaker Style, Super Sized : Peg Wall!

Okay. But it's still ugly, uncomfortable, and poorly designed. Other than that, though...


Can You Guess What Secret This Chair is Hiding?

I venture to say that a few more cultures than just the Japanese do this as a craft/practice.

And thank goodness that societies don't go around reserving such arts for only traditional or "pure" applications.

Size does matter, though small is fine. Details also matter, of which this article was disappointingly light on.

I prefer clean, spare lines. Too much clutter here for my taste.
