It wasn't too long ago that I snapped this photo of some lady's foot and a great wooden (albeit very weathered) doormat at one of my random garage sale stops. …
Once upon a time, I was a little ski bunny. I spent every blustery, wintery Saturday at a small ski club in Colden, NY; the small resort, Tamarack, was a great …
Among the most ingenious and innovative products I've ever tried to DIY, a designer who worked in conjunction with West Elm created a wonderful, attractive, desirable side table that I just needed …
... And now I'm doing a happy stair-planning dance. The project I finally decided to be brave enough to do? Painting those stairs. Here's to hoping I don't revert into …
Over in these here parts, we're starting Dad Bonanza 2011, the week long countdown to the best family picnicking holiday of June, Father's Day. We're rolling out the grill (so …
