I'm looking for unfinished floating shelves similar in style to the Ikea Lack floating shelves. Any idea where to buy some online or otherwise?

Anyone know where (online) I can buy Beatriz Milhazes prints or posters? Have been searching all morning and nothing! Thanks!

ooooooo LIES in shelter section of the NYT!
The cover of today's NYT refers to a story in last week's NYT Home section, about a former gang girl that wrote a book and made a cozy home for herself and her daughter in Oregon.

Except it turns out her story was fake.

Her sister saw the House and Home piece and called the publisher...

I hate it when these interesting bios turn out to be fiction - I'd really rather people just write fiction that rings true, instead of lying through non-fiction memoirs of trauma...

30katie and mjr, I adore the Beatriz Milhazes prints in mjr's links and would love to buy some for myself. Do you know how much they sell for? I couldn't see any prices in the link?

Anyone have leads for floating and paintable shelves?

You could also go the Ikea route: I bought some wood planks from there, and created my own floating shelves, that I painted a deep chocolate.

Does anybody in NYC know of a good Rug Cleaning company.
I have a small 5x8 wool rug that need to be cleaned and I do
not want to pay too much.

Anokha ,

hey yall!!!

please help me decide....

i took out the wall seperating the wall between my kitchen and dining room. i am going to extend the counter from the kitchen into the dining room and make a bar. the question is, do i leave part of the wall above and install pendant lights to hang down over the bar or do i remove the whole wall and install cans all the way across and new sheet rock for both sides?

i hope that makes sense. thanks in advance!

Does anyone know the paint color on the walls of this bed and breakfast room that was featured during Romantic bedroom week?

Thanks!
