Top 5 Friday: New and Favourite Rugs

Permalink
Posted by Elana Safronsky 7/9/2010 5:26:00 PM
As with everything else (too bad for me), if I can't have the right one, I don't want it at all... Naturally, this goes for rugs too. So I don't have any. Though in the case of rugs, there are some affordable options that I should certainly entertain,

In honour of Father's Day I'm going to swallow my pride and write about man rooms . But I simply cannot do it without a minor preamble first, so indulge me briefly and then we'll move on. I'm not comfortable with the idea of a "man room." It hits a nerve

Top 5 Friday: Backsplashes, Part II

Permalink
Posted by Elana Safronsky 6/11/2010 9:49:00 PM
This week's Question of the Week struck a nerve. I asked what you would do for a backsplash if you had your way, and in the same breath slighted a long-time favourite: tri-coloured glass mosaic tile. In a word: I'm over it, no longer a fan. Many of you
