What a great space! 175 feet... Wow!

I like your space! Very cozy and well utilized.

I like the room. It is calm, yet creative.

Only one Southern location (Atlanta) on the list.

I am always surprised to see St. Louis on these lists... I'm not sure why, but I am.

When IBM pulled out Poughkeepsie (and other Hudson Valley locations) more than 20 years ago, things started going downhill quickly.

Just bought my daughter (13) the Burnette 46... She loves it. Very basic machine with all of the features you need to get started. My daughter liked the sleek black look of it too. I have an old Husqvarna that runs great after 20 years, but I've been having fun playing with the Burnette too.

A great beginner machine!

I like Traditional Home. I miss the print edition of Domino so, so much!!!

I actually like HGTV Magazine as well... Has some good DIY ideas, but it's a bit heavy on the "talent" and predictable...

I'm in the process of converting a 7' by 16' nook area in my upstairs hallway for crafting and sewing. I am planning to use the wall space as much as possible (take advantage of vertical space), with peg boards, magnetic boards, shelving, etc. I am trying to figure out the best option for two 6'-sized tables... I don't want anything expensive, and would like to construct something myself with boards, etc. Any suggestions of do-it-yourself tables that will hold up to a sewing machine, kids crafting, etc.

Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day Geranium products make me so happy. I have the dish and hand soaps, and make my own spray from the general cleaner.

I treat myself to flowers weekly - whatever is on sale at one of the four markets I frequent. This week seems to be all about tulips!

Yes, I agree with the advice to save and get the one you want. I just switched out my bedding to my winter/fall set. I was so happy to unpack the Pottery Barn duvet cover and pillow shams I bought about four years ago. They still look and feel like new!

In terms of saving money, I bought a high-count (600 thread) set at Target during a sale. I think the whole king size set was less than $50. I was worried that the quality would be iffy, but they are really nice, durable sheets.

I don't remember where I read this quote, but the gist of it was "never keep anything on your kitchen counters that you can't cook with our eat." Good advice.
