		<title>Going Gray</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I&#8217;ve had a love affair with gray since my teens when I painted the walls of my bedroom varying shades of gray. As a color, gray is frequently associated with neutrality &#8212; being neither white, nor black &#8212; and cool self-control. Because of its versatility and ability to harmonize with a variety of other hues, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Color On High</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When it comes to plain ceilings (i.e., not tin, decorative plaster, or good-looking wood), you have a limited number of options. You can paint them ivory or cream or eggshell, or whatever incarnation of white looks best with your chosen paint color scheme. You can add embellishments like vinyl wall stickers, though that sort of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Because You Need Somewhere to Put Stuff In the Necessary Room</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Friends of mine are remodeling their master bath, and part of that remodel involves switching out a very old fashioned (think grandma, not hip retro) bathroom vanity for something new. I cannot, of course, hear about anyone&#8217;s remodel without thinking about what I&#8217;d like to put in my home given the chance. Unfortunately, my own [...]]]></description>

		<title>An Eight-Hour Day I Can Actually Enjoy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Aren&#8217;t these prints cute? I know, cute isn&#8217;t for everyone, but if you have the right sort of aesthetic already in your home or you aspire to adorableness, then cute could be for *you*. For wall-ready adorableness I&#8217;m currently digging on EightHourDay, creators of, among other things, letterpress and screen print art featuring vintage-look designs [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Quarter Bath Problem</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the strangest things in our house is the room we like to call the Quarter Bath. Think a half bath without a sink. Basically, it&#8217;s a closet with a toilet installed down in our finished basement. We&#8217;ve just added it to the list of strange DIY projects that one of the house&#8217;s previous [...]]]></description>

		<title>Purple Chair, Five Ways</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As you know, I love purple. I painted my kitchen cabinets a deep, bright purple. Come springtime, I have plans to repaint the trim on my house a sort of eggplant color that will eventually highlight a sort of pumpkin color. Go, Team Purple! So when I came across a beautiful purple chair at a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sit On It. Store In It. Stare Out.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It is truly an unfortunate thing that there is no room in my home that could currently accommodate a proper window seat. Where the windows are large enough, they are far too high up. Sure, I could find a tall bench and place it under a window, complete with plenty of soft, punched pillows, but [...]]]></description>

		<title>I&#8217;m Just Dottie For This Potty</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Isn&#8217;t this polka dot bathroom just to die for?

Look at all the reading material there on the shelves &#8212; now imagine slipping into the tub with a magazine and staying there until it reaches t-shirt weather. Perfection!

And how about that sink. At first glance, I actually thought it was another storage box, but no. Loving [...]]]></description>

		<title>No art? No money for art? No problem.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The whole empty frames thing has been much derided as lazy or ghetto or less-than-creative, but I still like it and think it can be a whole lot of fun if hung in something other than a grid. The look works especially well if you have some nice frames that will stand out on their [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dreaming of Summer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Raise your hand if you&#8217;ve had quite enough of winter, thankyouverymuch. If you&#8217;re not raising your hand I&#8217;ll have to assume it&#8217;s warm where you are, you&#8217;ve just gotten back from a long and warm vacation, or you can afford to keep your heat cranked all day and all night. None of these conditions apply [...]]]></description>
