I like about anything but granite. Granite can be pretty, but it is just too overused by people with no taste.

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite non-AT blogs:

I think I've read through all of her archives now.

It's so similar to our house in feel and heritage, just further along than ours. Where are those sliding closet doors from? We're currently still using fabric on ours.

Be careful with the IKEA plumbing if you get a sink from them! It's all metric! The pipes were too short to meet the pipe coming out of the wall in both of our bathrooms, so I had to cobble something together using a combination of IKEA and Home Depot (US) parts.

I backed The Elevation Dock on Kickstarter. It's too late to get in on the Kickstarter, but it was very successful, so they will be available soon. They're both functional and striking. I'm looking forward to getting mine.

Leave room in the budget for plumbing and electrical. Even if you don't plan on moving any outlets or drains, there's no telling what you'll uncover that needs to be fixed by a qualified technician.

My wife got me a great Ron Swanson poster from popprints. I guess he doesn't have any more of them on his etsy page, but it looked like this

As someone who's had to make straight cuts with a circular saw, I can't wait for this to come out.

For that matter, the Kreg Jig should probably be on this list.

That orange striped wall is inspired.

On a side note, why are the house tours on a seperate page? Has AT thought about doing a lightbox or something else that doesn't take you away from the content?

Our Boston Terrier didn't for the longest time, but my wife got a paper route, and would let her come in the bedroom when she got back from her route. My wife quit her paper route at the beginning of the year, but our BT still trots down the hallway and paws the bedroom door until we let her in at 5:00 every morning. She is insistent on sleeping under the covers at the foot of the bed.
