Scale is a consideration, too. I keep seeing magazine layouts styled with enormous throw pillows on small- or medium-sized chairs. They're multiplying like Tribbles.

The travel kind doesn't require a vacuum. You just roll the filled bag from end to end, and air exits through a one-way valve. I've used this kind for return trips, so my bag will have room for sou...

My living room has an angled wall with a large, ugly register and thermostat. I've camouflaged the register (to the extent possible without blocking the vent) with a stretched-canvas print resting ...

I love the birdhouses used as centerpieces.

@s_boston, I have the same cabinet. It's from Target.

@Allison, I've been thinking about buying the one on the right. I like the Pattern style, too, but the other one could be more easily repurposed if I decide to redecorate. Also, it's just slightly ...

I agree with the general concept of "less is more," but there's a point at which too much less looks like a waiting room. Taken further to the extreme of the Farnsworth House, "less" looks like the...

Thanks for posting this. I'd always wondered how the invisible hangers worked.

Every year when Target has their Global Bazaar collection, there are a few floor cushion designs.

That first photo reminds me of Green Acres, complete with the telephone pole right next to the house.

Remember way back when, AT spotlighted an all-in-one mobile kitchenette that went for $4,000 ? Topdeq now has it as overstock for $983. Not that I'm tempted to buy it, just amazed...

I think it's more like displaying a collection than decorating around a theme.

As redweather mentioned, the cherry blossoms are gone from the DC area, but azaleas are starting to bloom.

I love the light fixture and chairs in the first photo.

My first thought was, "They killed C3PO!"

I don't see decor as a game, so the only way there could be cheating is actual theft.

@ashycats, I can't say enough good things about Beltway Movers. Very professional, careful, and efficient.

My lease says that I cannot paint. The leasing agent told me that I can paint, but would have to "pay a fee" when I move out. She couldn't give me a specific dollar amount. Since she's not here any...

I had Fashion Plates! Gosh, I'd forgotten all about it. Thanks for posting that.

I have found TJ's almond meal a little too coarse and strongly flavored for baking (Bob's Red Mill is finer), but I like it for breading pork chops or chicken.
