Chuckled (in a good way) at your exterior color scheme. I worked so hard on mine last year when we painted and fancied myself the only one on the planet with a front door this color. Here's mine, love yours. http://catherineboardman.com/wordpress/

This soup made my Sunday! Excellent, easy, and I happened to have all of the ingredients on hand.

Don't cook it. I've dropped my cell phone in water twice this month and rice has saved the day. A few hours submerged helps to dry out the phone. Can't imagine these events will line up, but . . . there you have it.

It has one problem - it's just not grounded. Really dark floors would solve it.

Those chairs are called "balloon-back parlor chairs" if memory serves.

Magic Erasers! You'll go through them but it's the ONLY thing that works. I feel your pain.

I actually ordered one of these from this company and was charged but never received the swing. Thank goodness my cc company went to bat for me. Just a heads-up.

I just posted a reading nook on my blog - though I titled it "Cozy Spot". Has all the required elements, I think. http://catherineboardman.com/wordpress/?p=290

Those are all sheepskins, not faux-fur throws. They look great on the floor, on a chair, on the back of a sofa, wherever.

I agree - Top Design is the better show. I started to really worry this season on Design Star when someone duck-taped curtains to a ceiling. Scary stuff.
