I've been looking for that "just right" buffet. I found a beautiful table for twelve at a closeout for $50, then several months later found the perfect chairs (12) on closeout for $29 each. Now my good old Scotch blood has been on the lookout for a great buffet at a bargain!
Butter flies for me to make bedspeard for my 12 year daughter who been real sick this year.
I now live in a very modern apartment here in sunny Puerto Rico. It has an open concept kitchen, dining room and living room area. The apartment came with a gorgeous lighting fixture in the kitchen and since the other three lighting placements are considered to be in the same “great room” I am going cRAZY trying to find a cohesive look in all the fixtures without it costing a fortune!
Also, I have been searching everywhere for some chic and funky runners for my dining room set and hutch. I am bored out my mind with the same cheap, shiny polyester beige runners with tassels and brocade in the stores and internet! I need some color! HELP!!!

I need the best way to store all of my fabric in my sewing room. I need to be able to see and easily get at it. I have it on book shelves now but that just isn't working. I can never really see all of it. If I go to take a piece out of the middle of a stack of fabric it makes a big mess.

Painted our master bedroom a beautiful blue shade – not too gray – not too pastel. Unfortunately did not buy bedding or fabric for drapes. Not to mention the old club chair that needs to be recovered as soon as I find the "perfect fabric." I have been LOOKING for 4 years now and am about to give up and repaint the room! (although it looks fabulous with our black furniture!) Hopefully I won't give up on finding the perfect fabric – any suggestions?

I live in a college dorm room – I have been looking all 4 years for a crafting table that is good enough for quilting and scrapbooking, yet isn't too expensive, and won't take up precious space!! Same goes with storage – I am always looking for a more convenient and space-saving way to store the huge amount of supplies I have so that they're accessible and yet I don't have to sacrifice every square foot of walking space! I am sooo tired of 18-gallon totes!!
I am not a designer, but I have been looking for some fabric that would look good with my dining room and also coordinate with my living room, since they are close together, I have never been able to find that one fabric that has what I want. I think I should give Fabrics on Demand a try. I always thought maybe I was trying to hard or maybe I was too much of a perfectionist, but It's good to know that others have similar problems.

A living room rug with the perfect pattern made out of new zealand wool…I like the softness, lol
2000 threads hand made fabric with mixed color that is not expensive at all.

The perfect shelving system to go over a flat panel TV.

My search continues
I've been looking for pillows to match our 1970's mustard yellow gold velvet couch to make that color look a bit more modern vintage. Or a velvet slipcover to go over the couch to make it a more modern color. But I don't know if it's worth investing in.
A Claw Foot Jaccuzzi Bath Tub…do they exist?

I would like to find a tri color paint combo for our 1860 Victorian but the kicker is I would prefer the paint to simply materialize the same way it does on a computer screen! But I do want to find period colors.

Nice question. What home decor item have I been searching for, for years? Well it hasn't been for years, it's not like I have been around for so much time, but me and my mom have been looking for a picture frame, for a drawing of a lighthouse that was given to her as a gift a couple years ago. It doesn't seem to fit anywhere and it's not like we have the money to have a custom frame made. That drawing is very special to her, she loves lighthouses!! and some custom fabric wouldn't hurt! HGTV rocks! and FOD too!!! thanks God Bless you
