Kaisertizer's Profile

Reminds me somehow of an owl perched in a tree. It's gorgeous, but as others have said, doesn't look very lived in or warm, despite all the wood.

Naming your house is like naming a beloved body part or an interesting period of your life. It's a bit of an inside joke that's personal to you and folks that are close to you.

It's only pretentious if you're giving out calling cards with your home's name on it. That would be a bit much generally, but your friends would probably enjoy it.

I thought the Ecover dishwasher detergent we used was good. Then we noticed that nothing was shiny and an our coffee cups were getting grimy. Then we used a "green" phosphate-free detergent from (i think) Clorox or some other major brand. Everything was so super clean! It was the chlorine in that brand that got everything spotless.

I want to use a truly green product, but get the sense that the chlorine is the ticket. Is this true? Does anyone's favorite green brand get their stuff absolutely clean?

Any idea of price? No specifics on their site.

Or, even better, a source for surplus burlap bags that I could recover my own ottomans with?

Oooooh. I want the top one. . . just need to change the dates. That was the first dance song at our wedding! To late for the paper anniversary, though.
