I would play up the black/cream, abandon the turquoise and stay with the purple/lavender accents. If you want a second accent color, find one that is a better fit with the wood than turquoise. Cream rug with a black border or embellishments - the flokati or shag suggestions would help soften the room a bit. Help Choosing Rug for This Room? Good Questions |

I love this. So many variations in color, style and shape possible. five or six chairs in a semi-circle/banquette would be fun too. DIY Bench: Three Become One Kindall's Creations |

The before-and-after projects usually take something that needs improvement and transforms it. This takes the chair and changes it, but neither improves or transforms it. There is a reason clean design is called that. This is project akin to gluing sequins on Chanel jacket. Before & After: Janell Nails a New Style on a Plain Chair |

I'm using my cereal-box psychology degree here, but I since you are asking absolute strangers, you are probably hoping for two outcomes. The first is that you think the red is too bright/dark and you want us to hold you back. What Color Would You Paint this House? |

When I was having trouble falling asleep, my doctor suggested removing all stimulation from the room. No TV. No music. No reading.

If you have time, you don't even need to soak. In the morning, I put unsoaked white beans, seasonings, sometimes a hamhock or prosciutto end, maybe an onion - whatever's on hand - and stock in a bean pot toss in the oven. Check ever couple hours and add stock to be sure they are mostly covered. They are done in about five-seven hours. It' great on a cold day - makes the house nice and toasty and the smell is heaven.

Google Books has many VERY vintage cookbooks from the turn of the century and earlier, including the first version of the Fannie Farmer book from 1916. Interesting reading. Apartment Therapy The Kitchn | Do You Cook From Vintage Cookbooks? |

I have a much cheaper ($90) 10-cup Sanyo rice coooker that has multiple settings. It's great for all kinds of grains, rices and cereals. I've used a risotto recipe for the rice cooker out of the book "The Ultimate Rice Cooker Cookbook" by Beth Hensperger & Julie Kaufmann. It turns out great. For simple risottos, I never stand over the stove anymore. Apartment Therapy The Kitchn | How To: Make Risotto in a Rice Cooker |
