I’ve always loved bistro tables – you know, the tall, sometimes delicate tables that come to mind when you think of a Parisian cafe or maybe a trendy nightclub. They’re the kind of tables you see when you go out, but not often in the home. I think it’s a distinction worth breaking, so here […]
I’ll be the first to admit, I’ve never been a huge fan of furniture slipcovers. And I feel pretty justified in that, because in all honesty, a lot of them are pretty bad. To me they’ve always been what you do if your kids or pets make a mess on your nice, expensive sofa one […]

Now, unless you’ve got a whole room to spare, chances are that building your own in home pub might not be feasible, […]
