Ditto what moriah rose says. I would love a tutorial for the countertops.

This looks amazing! I love the stenciled wall and the light gray she chose. But, yeah, it's hard to tell what the before looked like.

Does anyone know where to purchase inset pulls like the ones on this dresser? I have a piece that has inset wood pulls, but they're very fragile -- the wood keeps cracking. I'd love to be able to replace them with something sturdier like brass. Here's the piece: http://urbancholita.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/dsc_0011.jpg

The Environmental Working Group put together a guide that gives cleaning supplies a grade based on their health effects and environmental effects. I was surprised at how awful some of my standard cleaning supplies are for my health and the environment. The guide is here: http://www.ewg.org/guides/cleaners.

My problem isn't putting stuff in the outbox -- the outbox is already full. I get stuck when I think about disposing of the items. I don't want to throw out perfectly good dishes/curtains/etc. But I don't have a car to haul items to a donation center either. And some of the items seem like things that could be sold. But where? And how? And who has the time? Sigh.

Also, I posted additional photos at www.urbancholita.com if anyone wants to see a few more before/after shots.

A question I can finally answer! I'm not sure where you are located, but I found PERFECT bowls for so cheap at Fishs Eddy in New York. They were like $3 each. Fishs Eddy does have a web site (http://www.fishseddy.com/), but not everything they have in the store is available to order online. They are thick, off-white ceramic with a little rim around the top for the cheese to rest on, and a little bison on the bottom. No long handle, but I haven't found that to be annoying.
