The stove was pink from the get-go, the apparent difference is just the photos.

In Vancouver, BC we call them coach houses or laneway houses.

I wonder how he gets electricity into the box? does it plug into the wall?

I've heard in hot climates people put beds in salt water (eg: the ocean) for a few days to get rid of bedbugs. Might be worth looking into.

It's called "priming" -- there are all kinds of studies about behavioral effects like this.

People can be subconsciously flashed words associated with old age (florida, cane, wrinkles) and they'll walk out of the room more slowly than people exposed to random words.

I also like it how it is, especially with that one white drawer.

What about OSMO oil? A bit like keeping it like it is, but with some protection for the wood. And then fancy knobs, to bring the whole look up a little.

If I was getting it on with a guy and he pulled out any sort of container that seemed to be purpose-designed to hold condoms, I would jump out of the bed.

Ew.

Ooo, what is that rug made of? Looks like maybe felt or leather?

I think the tile looks great, provide a really nice little playful bit of colour, and will probably look better to you once you get that shelving in. At least you should wait till you do the shelving to make a decision about the tile.

I would go with naked wood myself, for the shelving.

"Despite our success with our fallback gift selection, we've heard some horror stories from friends of ours who have opted from the trusty wine bottle to more...personal host gifts like homemade desserts and spreads, monogrammed tea towels, or fancy soaps."

This sentence makes no sense. Horror stories? Opted from?

Any body have ideas about a similar solution for forced-air heating? The air from the vents wouldn't get hot enough to make water steam, I don't think.

Any guesses on what the fabric is? It sorta looks like tyvek to me... something that's able to hold the creases.

This reminds me of hanging out at the playground, on those three-way spring-rider things. It's fun to try to balance on them standing up and knock the other people off, and keep talking as if nothing is going on.

There's not enough furniture out there that engages the core muscles, if you ask me.

A word of warning: I wrote on my walls with sharpie as a teenager. Turns out you have to use many layers of oil paint to cover it. My parents were not happy.

Moral of the story: use acrylic paints or water-based markers.

There is a company called Johns Mansville that makes formaldehyde-free insulation batts. It's available at Rona here in Canada, and seems like a major brand. It is not itchy and will not kill you to inhale.

The colour is almost weird enough to distract you from the strangest thing about the chair: the hole.

Positively victorian.

Wow -- when those trees are grown, imagine how different the amount and colour of light will be between summer and winter. Natural AC.

In a few years everyone is going to be picking up these old pieces of furniture and stripping them down again (if we're lucky) saying "what possessed those people to paint over perfectly beautiful wood??"

It's like carpeting over hardwood.

I know some kids who make jewelery out of quills. They get the quills from roadkilled porcupines. In that case it's like totally upcycling.
