"Can I recycle a slate counter from our kitchen island to an outdoor table surface?"

Why are you asking if you can do this or not? Of course you can, its your idea.

But I am really confused. Why are you renovating this kitchen?
Its actually an amazing kitchen...Unless your living in the Bridle Path I don't understand the reno in the first place.

In regards to leaving slate outside, that depends on many aspects...you could google " slate outdoors" and read about people who have used slate tile outdoors and see how it holds up.

TRAGEDY!

I like how this was answered on AT four years ago?....

I love the kitty pillow on the bed! Where is it from?! WANT! & This place is so cute I love it!

#3 & #5 Could Easily be implemented in a current home with no effort. Why wait Until Moving Out?!

Using cut up shoe boxes to divide things in underwear drawers is great.

But honestly, who has a drawer full of panties and bras THAT organized. I WISH I could only live with 4 bras!!!!

"I was born into a generation of ninnies. It has made me tired...

...Adulthood is when we wake up, if we do at all. Exposure to the wider variety of things, and having to rely on them, makes them become true and occasionally important. Some things work barely or not at all, while others work so perfectly that they make us take notice, not just of their efficiency or effectiveness but of their grace, the inventiveness they embody, and their unassuming beauty.

As this appreciation blossomed within me, it became obvious that the greatness of things is everywhere, requiring only the patience and the temperament to notice. Utility, beauty, art, permanence, and craftsmanship sometimes come bundled in one thing, and that thing is then Great and Perfect. Anything from a bottle of pop to a cigarette lighter to a giant machine that makes things can be both Great and Perfect, and appreciating them as they pop up in our lives is the essence of Paul Lukas’s doctrine of inconspicuous consumption.

As I became aware of things myself, I realized there were others who were aware of things. Endeavoring to find them, my gaze instinctively moved to the mantelpiece, bookshelf, cabinet, or closet when I entered a new space. Were they bedecked with brilliant things? What art or science lives here? Are these people Aware?..."

& TBH...both Children and Polyester sheets will always be heated topics of debate. At least here on AT...

Ummmmm, so I thought this would be something helpful. That's just common sense :| ?

why would they cover it in paper and then paint it ? why not just paint it pink if you wanted it pink? to be honest, not mean, just honest, it kind of makes it look cheap.... which is something to say about an ikea piece.

Funny how I BET that comment will be deleted because of its negative connotation. But honestly...

love this so much!
