John Appleseed's Profile

I love music in the bathroom, especially when I am cleaning it. You need a speaker that is loud to trump water running. It is nice for a brief escape from your family.

The clock in the kitchen was from Pottery Barn at least 5 years ago though. It was on Clearance at that time. I have no idea if they still carry it.

house owner here-
I really am thrilled with the positive feedback, thank you. To answer some inquiries...
-Horseshoe: depending on who you ask, from what culture, they can go up (to catch luck) or down (to pour luck on those who pass through). A lot of people comment on that, I might go up next time.
-Flooring in kitchen: Travertine 12 x 12 from Home Depot, I don't remember the colors exactly, one had the word 'noche' in it. There isn't too many choices.
-Island is great for parties, kitchen prep, general work area, and small family dining, forget about formal dinner parties.
-I have two children's stories planned out starring Rosie, my crazy looking mutt. Those pics just don't do her justice! The other eye is as clear, blue as you can possibly imagine.
-The west coast is covered because the map and mantel don't fit very well if you spread them out. I got nothin' but love for the West Coast.
-I will share contractor(s) we have used, for Chicolandia residents, once I get their approval

Thanks for the compliments!

The bugs are a lucky thrift store find. Made in the early 90's out of super heavy duty plastic. I have never found their likes...

I got this chair in a different color, though I live in a big city couldn't find it in any stores to test run. I was actually surprised because it doesn't seem as high quality as I would expect for the price- though it looks sensational. You can lean your head back nicely and it glides beautifully, but not super padded like some other chairs that feel like clouds. The velvet would be better described as microsuede, it the shortest, coarsest velvet I ever felt.

Check thrift stores for alternatives, I saw loads. Never buy full price fabric from a fabric store- they charge TONS event with the 40% JoAnn coupon. In Chicago, try Designer Discount Outlet. I got posh, taupe velvet for $8 yard because they ordered too many bolts.

Yea!!!!

I am as pleased as punch with the new site. I was thinking it was overdue for some time, you must have been reading my mind. Cannot wait to renew my relationship with AT.

ThankS

Does anyone know if Jennifer Delonge furniture is comfortable? I have not been able to find one consumer review. I was seeking some feed back on the gliders, since they are not in any stores anywhere to actually test out...
