It's lovely but seriously $290? Is it really that much different than an unfinished stool and a can of orange spray paint? Ercol Bar Stool |

So is it rude to talk money in a story about a discount store? How much did you pay for the shelving and what was the retail price? Thx. My DWR Annex Adventure: How I Crossed State Lines for Discounted Furniture |

I like the art. But seriously, does every house tour have to have a fiberglass chair - I'm gonna have to learn how to spell ubiquitous. Kristi and Isaac's DC Artist Loft House Tour |

I think I've looked at too many house tours, but so many have the same items - which are nice but it's getting monotonous ....Eames fiberglass chair, Bertoia chair with shearling on it, the turquoise Ikea cart, Expedit, it's all getting to be formulaic.Maybe it's because everyone is inspired by Apartment Therapy and one house tour begets another, but there is such a thing as being too trendy.

We are currently installing Ikea cabinets in our kitchen but my husband is making our door and drawer fronts out of solid maple. The Ikea boxes and door dampeners seem to be solidly constructed - we hope we've found an economical and well built happy medium. BTW, hubby does great work but is painfully slow...must have patience! Are IKEA Kitchen Cabinets a Good Idea? Good Questions |

One more thought...use common sense. Some relatives (I'm looking straight at my SIL) were always sticklers for following the rules to the letter. We could not begin until sunset, could not eat until the haggadah said "eat the festive meal"...we don't normally eat dinner at 9pm - heck when my kids were little they were asleep at 9pm. So i fed my kids before the guests arrived and we started reading between 6:30 and 7pm no matter what time the sun set. I think the family getting together to read the story of Passover is the important part and try not to get too bogged down with the "rules". There will be time enough for that latter...

Get age appropriate haggadah's - I'm surprised how many families use the old Maxwell House Coffee haggadah's and then wonder why their 6 yo can't sit through the reading. Duh! Get an haggadah in everyday language that tells the story of Passover in a way a child will understand. We use one called the Family Haggadah - bought it at the gift store at the synogogue - it has questions in it also to start discussions. Passover doesn't have to be torture for kids.

The wall color is reading as a neutral (at least online) so I wouldn't stress about the color. rugsusa is a good site to get inspiration - here is one that might work http://www.rugsusa.com/rugsusa/rugs/rugs-usa-arwa-flatwoven/raspberry/200ABSKLM245A-8010.html Rug & Decor Colors for Living Room?
