Ideas for redoing an entryway?
By DaiquiriDiva
This is a picture of the front entry on the house we just bought. It's about as un-Feng Shui as you can get! Instead of being a functional, inviting feature it looks more like a sad afterthought. The door itself was painted with a flat band-aid colored paint that shows every scuff and mark, the doorknob is cheap and feels like it could fall off every time you turn it, the porch is small and useless and the stairway is so narrow we'll barely be » READ MORE
Weird and Wonderful?
By DaiquiriDivaOr just plain weird?
I've been looking through hundreds of art sites lately and I must say...there are some truly strange things out there. Just had to share this one. I DO kind of like the raindrops hanging from the ceiling though. More pictures here.
Tissue Pillow
By DaiquiriDivaWith allergy season well on it's way, and cold and flu season not quite over, what better companion to wallowing about in sinus misery than a tissue pillow!

Fun Fantastical Furniture
By DaiquiriDiva
This site may have been posted here once before, but it's one of my favorites and worth checking out again. Straight Line Designs, based in Vancouver, Canada, designs and builds Alice-in-Wonderland-esque pieces that are both fun and functional.
Bookcases stack haphazardly, like a giant tossed them into the air. Cabinets with names like "Oops" and "Boom" appear to have had run-ins with things wild and wonderful. Others, like Joined at the Hip » READ MORE
Building a dream
By DaiquiriDiva
Just wanted to share my parents' website. They built their house in the 70's by hand; no power tools, no electricity, no running water and using mostly wood from their property or salvaged materials. Over the years there have been additions and upgrades, but it's always retained its charm. Click on the "OUR HISTORY" link to see their story. The house is cute, quirky, and cozy...and has always been an inspiration to me of how you can make so » READ MORE
HEMA Stores
By DaiquiriDivaIt’s not exactly on-topic, but someone sent me this and I just had to share it.
