Awwww! Thank you all so much, I'm glad you all like it too. Karen, I'd be honored if you put in in an inspiration album. It would make my day. He did just sort of design it in his head as he went along. The sleigh itself screws on to the part with the runners, when it's taken apart, it will fit through the opening to the attic crawl space, which is where it spends the rest of the year. - Gail

Use the same code that you use here - it works the same way. You won't see the pictures, only code until you go to the next 'page'. But if they aren't the way you want them or in the wrong order you can go back and edit, just like you do here. I've found the best way to list my items is basically bullet points rather than paragraph form. Anything you can do to make it easy for people helps: Faux Ficus Tree 6' tall, 36" wide, approx. Beautiful woven basket with Spanish Moss accent Perfect for filling in those difficult corners Cash Only Please respond with phone # Then I put the pictures in following my text. Get everything out of the frame that could be distracting. I usually try to photograph things placed in front of my French doors - it makes an attractive backdrop. If nothing else I hang a white sheet behind the item. Take distance and close up - especially of the basket so they can see the texture. Make sure you put a line space between each picture so they don't scroll side to side. Good luck!

I don't think they are anything special, but they are okay. Personally, I don't like the 1960's mediterranean styling of them, but that is just me. I think the price is okay if the chair itself is in great shape and doesn't require a lot of work except for upholstery, and if you are doing the upholstery yourself. I don't think they are worth investing the money it would cost to have them professionally done, and ttodd's numbers seem right on. I am also thinking that they would be too low to function as a desk chair.

I love this thread. It's fun to see people getting excited about what they've already done, rather than nervous about what they have yet to do. My list will not be must-haves in everyone's kitchen, but in our first week of this newly remodeled space (yahoo!), here's what I am LOVING: * the ISLAND--my kids think I built it just for them. It is perfect for snacks, breakfast, projects, casual meals when it's just me and the kids (or the kids and a couple of friends). Because I didn't put any appliances in it, it actually feels like a lovely table when we sit down, and it is also a perfect, unbroken space to spread out during cooking sessions or as a buffet when entertaining. I knew I wanted it when designing the kitchen, but I didn't realize how amazing it would be in the end. * granite counters--oh, they are gorgeous, and oh, they are easy to work on * pull-out trash--my husband wanted this; me, not so much. I thought it a waste of cabinet space and would have been fine with a bucket under the sink. Now that I have it, I LOVE it. It is perfectly located and very easy to access, much easier than opening a door and reaching back in (and again, I never minded that before). I love that it gives us a place for our recycling as well. Plus, the cabinet underneath my sink is chock full of cleaning supplies and extra racks for my stove and microwave. Great storage space for these things; that space is not wasted. * new, super-quiet garbage disposal--what a change over our old one! We actually had to look inside it to make sure that it was working, because you can hardly tell. * airswitch for the GD--one less switch cluttering up my wall. * plugmold instead of regular outlets in one area--again, a cleaner look * lots of lighting, all on dimmers--I love the versatility. * more windows than you can shake a stick at * pull-out faucet--I love my new Grohe, and it wasn't even my first choice. My favorite feature of the pullout is how easy it is to fill pots now. I just set the pot on the counter and pull the faucet over. * deep, full-extension drawers--ah, the unclutteredness of it all * pantry closet with roll-out shelves--ah, ditto * soft-close drawers--I have kids. Need I say more? * a microwave with racks so I can heat up three plates at once--I didn't even know such a thing existed (that will give you a clue as to how old my previous micro was). But WOW. * bottom-freezer refrigerator--I love having it all at eye-level. And the drawer-style freezer is much easier to use too. * my old, salvaged dishwasher--Still works like a dream, and does a MUCH better job than the fancier dishwasher I had in our rental house during the remodel. That crummy DW taught me that keeping an appliance that works really well can sometimes be better than buying new!
