made of new york: furniture from reclaimed wood

by fh_sara on FEBRUARY 28, 2011
For the record, I've never been one of those people who's good at thrifting.

needed: stylish toilet seat cover

by fh_christian on FEBRUARY 24, 2011
Napoleon Bonaparte once said that a throne is only a bench covered in velvet. I had no idea what he was talking about until my sons bought me a toilet seat cover for Christmas, suddenly turning my own throne into one worthy of an emperor. Until this point, I loathed them. My grandmother had a... Read more »

fave soup bowls + soup recipes

by fh_rachael on FEBRUARY 22, 2011
I admit it. Late February is a tough time for me. The thrill of the holidays is long gone and every time we hit a hopeful warm spell (45 degrees in Wisconsin is regarded as a heat wave), another dumping of snow soon follows. Sigh.

room ideas: built-in bookshelves

by fh_sara on FEBRUARY 18, 2011
Folks, I don't think I'm fooling myself when I say that I'm fairly easy to please. My idea of a perfect evening is a cozy chair, a good book and perhaps a glass (or two) of wine. But lately, my love of reading has become something of a burden, if only because my book-storage space... Read more »
