What a jerk? He's a hack designer that can't work with anyone and no amount of editing could hide those facts. 'Creative Design Consultant'.....wow, how long did it take to come up with that job title!?

Take my advice, if you really love the colors of those two lines, just try to get their fan decks or color samples before they disappear and just have your local supplier match the color. Personally I hate the quality of the RL paints although the colors and concepts were interesting, but I used it on a project once and it turned out HORRIBLE.

Wow, moving forward with a plan for your kitchen is extremely risky and crazy(but in a good way). Hope you guys have a sense of humor/adventure in you.
I love the idea of having just base cabinets and just having open shelving. I've always loved the kitchen in Jerry's apartment in the show Sienfeld. I would suggest putting a twist to it by doing base cabinets with a really nice countertop that is a nice contrast with the walls. For upper shelving, either invest in some really nice floating wall shelves or maybe do something alittle different by using Ellen's Brackets http://www.mockett.com/default.asp?ID=4&action=detail&partCode=SH9VS75with really nice wood shelves so that you can keep the air feel of the space especially with the light from the garden and the low ceilings. Stick with light colors or off white with one really good accent wall with tile or a accent paint color.

I have to admit it, I too held back the tears when GR offered to pay for Julia's culinary school training. She may have not been the best chef but she had heart and determination and showed the most progress throughout the show. Plus, you have to love the fact that the Waffle House cook outlasted some professional chefs! YOU GO GIRL!

For all the people who like to trash Ikea and refuse to shop there, where do you recommend finding inexpensive but well designed, simple furnishings? Please don't say 'Craigslist'! I've been searching for a relatively inexpensive ( /- $500) 5-6 drawer dresser for months and can not find one. Crate and Barrel is either the right price but too small or the right fit but cost but too expensive (sorry, I'm not spending $1200 on a dresser).
Room and Board is my dream store but I can fork over that much money either. What would you suggest as an alternative to Ikea?

Yes, with a dog and a cat living in a house with very little air circulation, we need to use something to help the pet smell. I would love some suggestions on scents that improve the smell of the house but are also light and air. We use scent candles but I would like something that can go 24x7 but not smell like my grandma's house.
