When my husband and I were considering buy a home and tearing out the existing flooring this website help out a lot: http://www.concretenetwork.com/

We ended up not buying the house but I still dream of concrete floors. :D

YES! It's an absolute necessity AND I have a platform bed. We are due for a new mattress and box spring and I'm almost certain we will have to shell out extra money for one. : /

I agree with Username26 with the exception of closing cupboard, drawers, door, etc. I have found most people are completely unaware of how hard they close things-- or how hard they walk.

The comment section puts my stomach in KNOTS. We recently moved from the suburbs to the dense urban city. I was so worried we would not be able to find a renal house-- let alone one we could afford. I would sooner live with my husband and our son 11 year old son in a one bedroom house than to have to live in a multifamily unit. In the end we had an amazing stroke of luck and found a house. *Whew*

@MEDIUMGOOF it's a Thomas Paul throw. MyHabit just had it on sale.

@SurfJack Thanks for a real review. We've been receiving the circulars in the mail and haven't had the chance to view the products in store. Urban home seems to have some nice modern styles but I was seriously questioning the quality-- especial at that price point. Sounds like IKEA quality.

Anyone else have hands on experience with Urban Home casegoods?

The redesign is AWFUL. I'm speaking from purely a web design point. I understand what you were trying to accomplish-- placing emphasis on the visuals (photography) but the design downplays everything to the point where the page looks unfinished and lifeless.

OH. MY. I think I am in love. Beautiful, beautiful home. So many wonderful objects.

@mojones I'm pretty sure I am part of that separated family. I, too, have been asked by many--especially my in-laws-- why there are rocks, skulls, natures flotsam, etc. in very room. "Why are you so creepy?" There just isn't any point to explaining. FYI, I am female.

Where might I purchase the geometric terrarium?

DO NOT BUY THESE CHAIRS!

While I have never owned this particular style we did own a similar style (the T back chair-- forgot the name). The seat is sturdy and could hold 300+ pounds routinely, the back is not. We bought four and three were damaged or broken within a few months of purchasing them. The problem was people leaning back in the chairs. I assume these are the same bent plywood construction so beware!

On a whole West Elm's quality is on par with IKEA. Such a shame because some of the designs are quite nice.

The constant barking. The only thing worse than a barking dog is a barking dog's owner-- at least in my area. We live up on a nice breezy hill in a house full of windows-- windows I love to keep open. Not so great when you have to listen to the nightly choirs of untrained barking dogs. All. Night.

Also, we have a very modest backyard with an iron fence (as to not block the view). The house behind us sits about 15 feet lower and has a backyard the size of a golf course yet their screaming ill-mannered kids *always* play up on the hill at our fence. Our backyard is only about 20 feet deep. Oh, and they have a HUGE play structure, too. I just don't get it.

FYI, I love dogs and my husband and I have a child.

This seems like a no brainer. Please, please, please, do your girls a favor and research the public school's API's. http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/ap/ and then move where the better performing schools are. Doesn't guarantee they're great but it gives you a starting point. There is an app that overlays the API's in Google Maps but I don't remember the url. Sorry.

Uhhh, am I missing something here? That's concrete, right? Why wouldn't you just stain it? Seems easier and and more durable--the owner clearly has pets. =/

I'd love to have these. I've been searching for hangers to replace my son's toddler hangers (he's now almost 9-- let that be an indication as to how long I've been looking) with ones that are A. not plastic or wire and ugly as sin and B. don't cost an arm and a leg. I think these fit the bill.

Ok, this is totally off the subject but I have been searching hi and low for large scale white planters like the ones in the first picture. Might anyone know where I could find them?
