designerbee’s new, and may we add awesome, table. Kudos to AT heroes, Gregory and Jonathan, for helping her decide to take the plunge.
With the most challenging parts of the Cure behind us, this week we have a bit of a breather. This week, take some time to focus on your bathroom. A touch of luxury here can reap great dividends in your home and in your day: a beautiful candle, a great smelling soap, a new razor, bubble bath! Check here for some great tips on what to toss, arranging the medicine chest for maximum efficiency, and treating yourself as a guest in what's often an overlooked space.

KaKatie re-vamped this chair and designed and stenciled the fabric. Oh, and reupholstered it. We’re definitely feeling all thumbs now!

HollywoodandWestern spied this great chair at Ross. She’s debating. We say, “Go for it!”

Lhedden21’s walk-in shower. The black border was a mistake; if only all mistakes turned out this well!

I'm jealous of that table. And that's the price I would expect.

Thank you again for the advise and encouragement Gregory and Jonathan! I'm so happy with the table. It was scary making such a big purchase on an antique but it really is exactly what I've been looking for so I had to go for it!

Laura, a couple of weeks ago, I purchased a mid-C, rosewood credenza for about that price and I went through all the same feelings!
