ecuadoriana1 where can I sign up? I didn't mention it before because all the henny-penny's distracted me but I like the table.

the pallets are marked HT for heat treated and MB for the chemically processed ones, so it's pretty easy to avoid the pesticides, etc.

I think she's based in finland, land of cool weather and natives who love themselves a sauna, so I imagine the heat is not an issue.

I'm not sure if it's still available but LG had a counter-depth narrow fridge that was between 600 to 800 bucks depending on materials.

We've been waffling over this for what seems like forever. I think we're going to go for soapstone since it seems warmer and more timeless than granite. Plus granite now screams Millennial Mcmansion to me though DH disagrees.

If you're worried about what they were used to transport go to a business whose wares you approve of. My husband gets heavy duty heat treated ones from a granite counter top fitting company.

some are chemically treated and some are heat treated. I imagine the maker of the bed checked to see which one he/she had before using it. The heat treated ones are marked HT.

Anna, if you're talking about the ones in the first photo they're Alseda stools from ikea . Best news is they're cheap, about 30 bucks a pop.

I've always gotten to know my neighbors where ever I live so yes, usually the door is unlocked anyway. In the neighborhood I lived in before I married all the kids knew it was unlocked and would sometimes run through the house making a big loop between my and my neighbors backyards and the house across the street.

It's not what I would do in my own house but I'd happily be a guest here anytime. And I hate to admit it but I love the crocheted afghans.

Thomas Moser furniture. Beautiful and pricey but worth it.

D. Fabric doesn't usually age as well as the other items but that quilt looks to be in great shape. condition matters.

it took me about 5 years but I bought my dinnerware from a local potter who was even willing to custom make pieces for me. The only thing I'm lacking is regular size bowls but all in good time. I'm lucky to live where there is a great pottery tradition (North Carolina).
