this is great. i especially need this for my crisper drawers, where i often find forgotten limp veggies and lettuce. thank you!

i wish i had read this before i dyed mine with food coloring. i LOVE those earthy colors!

can you post a picture of your house? the stone lintels and black shutters in the photos you posted provide a necessary contrast to the large expanses of terracotta color. as long as your home has some sort of similar effect to break up the monotony, i'd say go for it!

speaking of cuts outside my comfort zone, i was all set to make braised beef cheeks for a holiday party last year. i hunted high and low all around chicago but couldn't find them anywhere. half of the butchers didn't even seem to know what i was talking about, but i still really really want to try them. has anyone here ever tried (or heard of) eating beef cheeks?

thanks for the suggestion arcgrrl- i will definitely stop by menards!

it appears in the picture that most of the furniture and rugs have a similar saturation of color. i would suggest some white or light-colored accents on the dining table and on the blue wall to provide some contrast.

my mom had one of these in a funky cabin she rented for a while in the mountains of north carolina. it was located in a little closet on the lofted one-room second floor bedroom. why the builder didn't put a full sink upstairs, i don't know, but the set up made it possible to get up in the middle of the night to use it AND wash your hands after without having to trek all the way down steep stairs in the dark. it creeped me out at first, too, but then i got over it in the name of convenience.

that's right about the cobra lounge -- i was pleasantly surprised by how nice, spacious, and designed the bathroom there is. the rest of the bar though is just totally weird and seems like it's having an identity crisis.

the shelf floating over the work table is a great idea. this might be the solution to my desk quandary.

i think this is great!!! very creative idea --- love the texture and everything. forget all the naysayers --- to me it looks like very cool zen tile that sells for hundreds of dollars. and i think it looks especially good next to your huge windows.
