What did you use to make the light fixture in the dining room? It looks great!

Thanks for all the advice everyone! The fabric does look grey in the photo, but in real life it is very blue, with white speckles.

I'm pretty sure this is the same house - I was eyeing it back when it was on the market. This link is from when it was for sale but you can see the architectural details.

Beautifully done! I would also be interested to know the paint color in the master bedroom.

The Grease Monkey extension for Firefox is a great CL timesaver - shows you the pics with the description, so you can see everything at once.
I use CL all the time and for the most part have had very good experiences. My biggest complaint is the flaky buyers - those who say they are going to show up at a certain time and then stand you up. I once gave away a washer and dryer for free on CL, and the first woman to respond agreed to meet me that afternoon. I rearranged my schedule to be home, she didn't show up, and then had the gall to call the next day to see if I still had it for her!

This may be kind of corny - but maybe you could try making your own at one of those Color Me Mine type places? They have rice bowls that are similar in shape to the Adler ones.

funny thing is - it used to be a glossy white back in the day and was then "updated" to it's current look.

I grew up there but haven't been back in almost 10 years. Have lunch at The Dog House (if it's still there!) on Main Street - great hamburgers and hot dogs and close to all the market action.

The whole wheat bread in Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day is really good and very easy - it uses vital wheat gluten as well. Also makes terrific hamburger buns.

Have to second that frozen mac and cheese recommendation - it is seriously delicious!

Some of our other favorites:

Flaxseed peanut and almond butter
no sugar added jams
Par-baked Filone bread
Joe's joe coffee
cinnamon graham crackers
their ice cream is awesome - particularly the coffee blast
frozen fruit
Kefir
Greek yogurt
frozen croissants - both the chocolate and plain are delicious
lemon curd
maple syrup
Niman Ranch bacon and ham

Fengshuibyfishgirl - High Point? I grew up there - what brought you there from LA?

We did the NY to LA move a few years ago and had a wonderful experience with Move East movers:

They came to the apt., gave an accurate quote, kept our things in storage for us for several months, and then delivered on schedule once we landed in LA. Everything was there, nothing was broken, there were no hidden costs. I highly recommend them!

Thanks everyone for the help! Since e-mailing AT with my question, we found what appears to be an identical bed here:

The side tables are a bit different, but very similar. We haven't ordered it - we are hesitant to order something we haven't seen it person. Has anyone ordered from Lofgrens before?

I think a more important question to ask is if there is a gun in the house. When I was in middle school a friend was killed during a sleepover while playing with the father's gun.
