Goodness. I come back a year later and I can't believe how much flack they got for a brushed nickel faucet, having the toilet seat up and "preferring another wastebasket." (Really? That's your only comment?) Talk about people seeing the glass half empty! Before & After: Andi & Dean's Master Bath on a Budget |

Looks lovely. Ursula is lovely (and so big)! Five Days in Mustique, West Indies Home Away from Home |

Bee for Brian, I'm guessing you weren't alive in the 1970s or were too young to remember. That is not 70s at all! The stencil is a kind of knockoff of the Cole and Son wallpaper and the cushion fabric knocks off Imperial Trellis. Both were the rage the past few years.

Also, except for the floor, it's a completely unexceptional bathroom. Don't Look Down: Elevator Shaft Powder Room Home DSGN |

It's cool to look at, but I'd never want that in my house. And my husband gets vertigo and the bathroom seems like a particularly bad place to experience that. Don't Look Down: Elevator Shaft Powder Room Home DSGN |

Okay, the photos on the voting page link, but there are no hotlinks or anything, which would be helpful. I only got to the entries through dumb link and pissed-off clicking. THE FINALS: Vote Now! Small Cool 2012 |

Could you make the voting link to the actual entries? It makes it much harder if you have to go back and search for them. I haven't seen all of the finalists to date, and I'm not going to vote off a thumbnail. THE FINALS: Vote Now! Small Cool 2012 |

I had quartz countertops in my old kitchen and loved them (although I'd be sure to buy the kind that is NOT permeated with triclosan if I bought again, since I don't think that is necessary). Not Going Granite: Considering Quartz Surfacing |

I agree that it does seem a lot bigger. I'm amazed that you got away with doing the work yourself, since that seems to be so tightly regulated in NYC. (Maybe condos are different from co-ops? All I know is that my building would never allow us to do everything in the bathroom except the tub!) Kim & George's Brooklyn Heights Home House Tour |

I hate how people will mourn the most hideous 1970s or 1980s slapdash remodel to try to make the people who did a great reno feel bad. Before & After: A Retro Kitchen Stays True to its Roots Redneck Modern |

Oh, I see it's Marimekko fabric. I just bought some to stretch! (Obviously, different fabric.) Before & After: A Retro Kitchen Stays True to its Roots Redneck Modern |

I love it. The wood was so overwhelming before, but now it looks lovely. Great job! I love the table and the art. (Who did the art?) Before & After: A Retro Kitchen Stays True to its Roots Redneck Modern |

I think that dresser could be painted to be AMAZING. Also think the chairs could be great outside. IKEA PS 2012: A Look at What's to Come from the Swedish Home Retailer |

A friend of mine has stained, epoxied wood countertops, and they look great! They are holding up just fine. How To: Make Plywood Counters |

My 4-year-old daughter is very tall (98th percentile) and still fits in her toddler bed fine. She rolls around a lot, so I get nervous when she's in a regular height bed. In fact, both she and I can lie in together at night, though I have to bend my knees very slightly (I'm almost 5'6") I could seriously sleep in it if I needed to.

For those freaking out, all you need to do is sand the paint off, like you'd refinish any other floor. I think it looks amazing! Painted Stripe Floors Inspiration |

I think this has sold me on the Applad line. Carol Reed, who is an interior designer, talks it up and now that the Tildahom (or whatever it's called) is no longer offered, I think I'm going to go for a very minimalist kitchen. House Call: Sharon's Gallery Kitchen Renovated Los Angeles |

I love this house. I wouldn't decorate everything the same way, but there are very few houses where I feel that way. The light is amazing and the house's bones are gorgeous. I also think it depends on your kid. My kid wasn't really a reckless toddler, but some will launch themselves off any surface. (She also learned fast; if she did something that hurt one time, like shutting her fingers in a drawer, she didn't repeat it. Some kids do not learn fast.) Jonya & Brad's Modern A–Frame House Tour |
