CHI Good Questions: Stain or Paint this Chair?
Cynthia sent in a good question: "I bought this little blue round-back chair for $45 the other day, and I've already started sanding it in hopes of giving it a complete makeover. This picture definitely makes the chair look better than it does in real life.
Any ideas? I'm especially torn as to whether I should stain the wood or paint it?"

Organizing the Portable Home Office
We don't have a home office, although we work from home half the day. Rather than work inside a little room, we like to take our laptop where the light is best: in the kitchen, living room, back deck, or coffee shop down the street. This presents an organizing challenge, since our system is a little scattered...

Colorful Stairs: Inspiration from CB2 Catalog
The thing we most love about this room is the yellow stairs. Wow. We've never seen anything like this in person, but are sure that it must exist in plenty of places besides CB2's catalog pages...

Pre-Traumatic IKEA Syndrome

Color Combo: Light Blue and Neutrals
The light blue and chocolate brown color scheme that dominated a couple years ago has since suffered the consequences of over exposure. That doesn't mean that blue and brown don't work well together. As long as the "brown" is understood as a range of neutral colors and textures, the color scheme can be easily updated to look fresh and flexible...

CHI Good Questions: Which Professional Do We Need?
Pam sent in a good question: "Hi, we need to rehab our bathroom. We're not looking to move anything around, meaning the locations for the tub, toilet and wash basin will stay where they are, but we are going to try to squeeze in a stand alone shower in one corner of the bathroom and so there will be some...
