I don't know if you feel the same way, but I've always struggled a tiny bit with deciding on window coverings. Finding something that provided privacy without being too formal or too frilly, or frankly, too I-just-bought-this-from-IKEA, is always a long drawn out search, with the result often being I end up making something myself. I should add that this DIY window covering is hastily made and almost always unfinished....Read more

Am I reading this right, $369 for walnut wood shelves? Seems entirely suspicious, doesn't it? Yet it seems to be true.

I've been pretty impressed with the quality of designs coming out of West Elm lately. I'm haven't been the hugest champion of their case goods, but I think their accessories have been spot-on.

The round one (above) is 30" diameter and $149, while the small rectangular one is 36"...Read more
