What is the difference between an Idea Board and a Room Layout? I was also wondering what you get for the fees. Thanks! Love your site! ]]>
The room layout takes it a step further. You send me measurements and I will give you an image that shows you where to place the furniture items in your space. Hope that helps!

Can you please tell me where you found them? Thanks!]]>
http://www.diningtables.com/dining-table-sets/casual-dining-sets/riversidecolormatesdiningtablesetwithfoldingleaf.cfm

Rather than buying the set, we purchased the table only as it was cheaper to buy chairs separately.

The chairs we found on Overstock:

We're very happy with them and they work perfectly in our cozy little home.]]> http://www.formspring.me/withTWOcats/q/951200353 http://www.formspring.me/withTWOcats/q/951200353 Thu, 12 Aug 2010 18:09:10 -0400 withTWOcats <![CDATA[I love your dining table and chairs...the table is the perfect size for an eat-in kitchen.

I was wondering if you could share what program you use to make your photos in the side profile "stand out," and also your favorite sources for web design - like where you found your background tile? Thanks!!]]>
I use a program on my Mac called 'Pages' to create the Polaroid-esque photos in my 'About' section. It's really simple - the program has different frames you can choose from and also lets you add shadows. Pages is part of iWork and is Apple's version of Word, but does so much more. I also use it to create my idea boards.

My favorite site for blog layout tips and tricks is Lawny Designs

http://www.lawnydesigns.com

I used this post to create my layout:

http://www.lawnydesigns.com/2009/01/create-3-column-blogger-template-with-2.html

and tweaked it a bit to move the top sidebar section up (to make it adjacent to the header) as well as add a bottom sidebar section. It takes a bit of experimentation - just be sure to back up your existing layout first.

As far as background tiles, I like to go to a site like iStockphoto and type in something like 'gray textile'. You will get a ton of textured images. I download one that I like and crop it into a square shape to use as my background tile.

Oh, and it doesn't hurt to have a sister who is a graphic designer either! ;)]]> http://www.formspring.me/withTWOcats/q/947999137 http://www.formspring.me/withTWOcats/q/947999137 Wed, 11 Aug 2010 22:28:20 -0400 withTWOcats
