I love that under the stairs garden! Now that's creative genius for small spaces.

Isabelle is so creative. I had the pleasure of meeting her in London and absolutely love her book and products. This was a really great Q&A. Thanks for the share.

I can really relate to this. I have find that my failings sometimes inspire me in new directions and with better ideas than I had in the first place! Thanks for the share.


How I Learned to Stop Trying So Hard & Love the Garden

Scott--I am still getting many DMs and emails, even some calls, from people saying they can't figure out how to vote, or they can't find the register here button...I'm not sure what is going on at their end. It is still hard to believe there could possibly be so many invalid votes--that's a lot of people doing that--and I want it to be clear that I did not ever suggest people use multiple email addresses. However, I did not know before that different people could not cast valid votes from the same single computer. I see why that might appear like the same person just using different email addresses--but that can also disqualify some valid votes. I have advised people not vote from same computer, but wow it is now getting really complicated.

Scott--thanks for explanation--I do not condone nor did I ever ask people to stuff votes. We do have 15K Twitter followers to whom we tweeted it out to asking them to vote and to share it--but it seems so hard to fathom that 270 votes were invalid. How could a just few people have placed so many invalid votes?

I know many followers and readers contacted me to say they couldn't figure out how to vote--guess they didn't scroll all the way down--I had to walk them through it. Many were at company offices, and they may have all voted from one computer--would those votes all be disqualified? (I know my own husband and 2 friends were here and couldn't figure it out so I showed them and they voted from one laptop. Would those then be disqualified because they were from same computer?) Even if that were the case--and many of those would really have been valid votes--still can't see how it could all add up to 270 invalid votes, that's a huge amount!

I have asked followers to please only vote once from one computer, but gosh, still hard to fathom over 270 invalid votes! Seems like many valid votes may have been removed and those folks took the time to register and vote.

Cheating? How? 245 votes were removed from Urban Gardens--that means 245 people cheated?! How could that be? We had nothing to do with this, I don't even understand how it's possible for so many votes to be invalid. Can someone explain this?

What happened? Last time I checked, Urban Gardens had over 400 votes-- now it is below 200. What's going on?

For some reason, Urban Gardens is listed twice. Can you merge the two? Thanks!

What a cool idea! I love how it looks, how easy it is to do, and best of all, using reclaimed materials keeps them out of the landfill.

Maxwell's presentation was superb. Loved "the home is a path..." Wonderful inspiration for all of us for home and life. The fresh new redesign is going to be great. Looking forward to more.

Great post, really resonates for me. Just restarted my TM practice and notice the increase in clarity and focus. So true that all design has to fit the person, the endeavors within that space...it tells a story.
