I collect too much! Bottlecaps and rock eggs were the starting point when I was a kid. Nowadays, I love perpetual flip calendars, vintage pyrex, the list could go on and on. What's the Weirdest Thing You Collect? |

@missizzy - you're welcome! Also, I detailed the renovation on my own blog at www.squirrelpearl.com if you are interested in seeing more photos or learning more of the process. You can do it yourself too! ;-) Carolyn's 1940's Kitchen Makeover Green Building and Renovation Month 2010 |

i think it's unanimous, keep the sink! My husband and I just purchased an old cast iron sink (but with a metal base) from a salvage yard to use in our kitchen renovation. http://bit.ly/cnbFAD Should We Keep this Vintage Sink in Updated Kitchen? Good Questions |

Funny, I didn't know this was common but it makes sense with pine being cheaper. We have oak flooring on the main level of our house, but when we removed the carpeting from our second floor we were surprised to find a wider plank and a much softer wood that indeed turned out to be pine. We haven't had any trouble with furniture leaving indentations, but I have noticed scratches from our pets claws. Pine Flooring Love | Apartment Therapy New York |

I have to say that I have really enjoyed the format of Lonny. I love print magazines like everyone else, and don't feel that this works as a replacement, but in addition to. One feature that is nifty to me is that almost everything in the home tours has a link connected to it, if you roll your mouse over it. This is great for someone like me, who might see something in a traditional print magazine and forget to write it down - I can click right through to purchase the item.

I have a few of the Dansk peices, and I have to say the yellow covered dish is one of my favorite pieces to add in a photo of the kitchen! Classic Favorite: Dansk Kobenstyle Enameled Cookware | Apartment Therapy The Kitchn |

Great place guys! So happy to see Nashville represented on AT!! By the looks of it, I think this is a loft at Werthan Mills? And that black and white rug is the Alvine triangle rug from IKEA- I wish I had it! Small Cool 2010: Sam & Stefanie's Design Aesthetic Small Division # 24 | Apartment Therapy Chicago |

Those are great, I too thought Copco or Dansk! I found these somewhat similar at Target-only in color, not that awesome shape: http://tinyurl.com/y3lmw4s Can You Identify These Vintage Cast Iron Ramekins? Good Questions | Apartment Therapy The Kitchn |

We just had our 1950s metal cabinets stripped and powder coated, and had planned on taking the cast iron double basin sink to get it re-enameled...but were told by the powder coaters they had recently started powder coating the cast iron sinks as well...so far, it all looks great. You just have to be sure that anything that would melt has been removed, as they do bake the items after coating. How to Safely Refinish an Enamel Topped Table?
