I don't understand using the suzani headboard as an option for the bed - I thought the exercise was to select similar looking elements in different price points. The suzani headboard looks nothing like the others.

Also, neither high nor low includes a pendant light.

I like the concept of the post.

Where did you get the table in image 14? Did you make it? I've been looking for a table base like that, with the structural brace in the middle. Would love to make my own table with a base like that and a butcher block top surface.

I would also love to know where ms. brown got her clogs (and the tour is lovely!).

Where did you get the large picture/painting/poster(??) in the living room?

And where did you get the Helsingborg/Elsinore print?

I was just in Denmark, and no one could tell me where to get prints - I came home empty handed, very sad!

Yes, please let us know the pantone numbers for your paint colors. I love the gray!!

I love the lamps in the last picture of this post - where did you get them?

A little off topic - Jeanine, where are the restaurant supply stores around Boston? Recommendations? Thanks!

Personally, I like lattice that blends into the background, and lets the plants have your full attention. This color is a little too unnatural and attention-getting for me.

I want to tackle painting our office, but first, we'll need to fix some cracks in our plaster walls.

Anyone have experience with this product?

Or have other advice for dealing with cracks in your plaster?

First, I'm very sorry to hear about more job losses. I hope the people from these publications find new jobs quickly.

Up to a couple months ago, I had been a subscriber of ReadyMade. I decided not to renew my subscription because I was finding the content of the magazine pretty light, and the subject matter almost stale compared to the blogs I read which cover most of the same subjects. More than once, AT had already shown a home tour (with more, larger pictures), that was later featured in ReadyMade.

In addition, at least some of their how-tos were a little too light on detail (I can only speak for the ones I've tried) - not enough pictures, usually.

I don't think they allowed themselves to focus on any one thing enough - and by missing that detail, they let other publications (print and online) surpass them in quality.

Hopefully they can reinvent themselves, and find the right formula for continued success. I'll be watching to see what they do - I'm willing to consider re-subscribing to them in the future, but only if I'm confident they will last the term of subscription. I'm still upset about Budget Living folding just after I renewed. Grrr.
