Beautiful home. And I love that Brasilia dresser!

The one in the picture is a Fiddle Leaf Fig. They are wonderful, but need a lot of light.

Google them - you'll see some amazing examples. They can stay outside while night time temps stay above 50F.

I have my feeder mounted on a 3/4" pole, which I slather it with Vaseline once in a while - the little squirrels just slide right down. They don't even try to get to the feeder any more. Hoorah!

Yes, Kanye's tweets have been notoriously hilarious. But, this site is about design, not comedy. You can find Top 100 Best Kanye Tweets lists in every corner of the Internet - and they are a riot.

This could have been funny, but it fell flat. And a little fact-checking would do the author some good - many of the tweets quoted here are from 2010, not "last year."

First the rabbit fur tea cozy and now this? Cannot believe the word Kardashian appeared on this site.

You are a great writer! I like the artwork - reminds me of Arthur Secunda, which they may be. I have a few of his VERY colorful pieces and really like them.

Beautiful furniture and I too really like those lamps. The wall colors are really nice - I envy that large white trim at the ceiling. Well done!

Very pretty. I have a similar china cabinet, and I like that you have used yours in the bedroom. Very nice room!

Weird post. I have not heard anyone say, "Oooh that kitchen in The Americans! We're redoing ours to look just like it." That show is briging nothing back.

Come on, AT.

That is a tough situation, but I don't think you should expect the builder to be able to tell you what noise levels to expect. "We'll be particularly noisy on Thursday..." - not going to happen. If you asked me that, I would tell you to expect loud noises all the time.

No one is ever going to speed up a project to satisfy a neighbor's need for quiet time. I would try the suggestions to find a quiet spot at a friend's house. Good luck!

Very smart to set up the framed pieces right next to the window so the bed could be centered beneath it. It's as if the window is a piece of art.

Kilim.com's rugs are crazy expensive. I have had lots of luck with ebay... the last one only took 6 days to arrive from Turkey.
