Cost to Build a House in the State of Washington with Finished Basement
Summary: How much does it cost to build a house in Washington State with a finished basement. The cost per square foot is much less when you include a finished basement.
Note: In order for a basement to be considered habitable space, it must have two (2) means of ingress & egress. This can be accomplished with doors, as in an walkout basement, which requires a sloping lot, or with large windows, or with an emergency basement door.
Rustic meets modern in the Adkins:
The covered porch and shutters give the compact Adkins the look of a traditional farm-style home, but the interior is entirely up to date. Kitchen, dining room and living room flow together, creating a feeling of openness, with nine-foot ceilings adding to the sense of volume.
Associated Designs, Inc. Plan #30-197
Country Home Plans - Shutters, multi paned windows, and a full front porch create a warm welcome to this country home plan. The living room featuring a fireplace, flows into the dining room then to an open kitchen. A front-facing den, open to the entry, could be used as home office.
Total Living Area: 1604 square feet plus the finished basement are of 838 equals 2,442 sq ft
1st Floor: 838 square feet
2nd Floor: 766 square feet
Finished Basement: 838 square feet
Bonus: 353 square feet (unfinished)
Garage: 520 square feet
Covered Porch: 144 square feet
Bedrooms: 3 Baths: 2 and 1/2
Construction cost software makes preliminary approximate cost estimating easy.
Using this shape for the foundation on the cost to build calculator for the Seattle, WA area,and Quality Class 6 (Minimum Standard Quality) except for the foundation, where I used Quality Class 5, I came up with $258,963 including a General Contractor markup of $29,116.
Land and land development costs and impact fees are not included in the total cost to build.
Total sq.ft. = 1604 sq. ft. + 838 sq. ft. finished basement = 2,442 Total sq. ft. of living area.
If the basement is on flat land, you will need an "Emergency Basement Door"
Note:The cost of this Emergency Basement Door is not included in the "Cost to Build"
Here is an example of a Emergency Basement Door from Bilco:
Basement Door - Ultra Series from Bilco: Satisfies IRC 2006 Building code requirements for emergency egress in finished basement areas.
You should keep in mind that the cost to build for this example, or any house plan, can vary considerably depending quality of materials selected, and on actual bids for labor and material.
Again, the estimate for this house is an approximate one based on "minimum standard" quality materials.
Important Notice: Cost estimates change with time. YOU can update this 2015 estimate to see if it has, as well as experimenting with different building quality inputs that affect the cost to build.
Keep in mind that these estimates are approximate and are just a guide. Until you actually start getting your own bids and estimates and entering them into your own spreadsheet (see my spreadsheet page for FREE spreadsheets), they will remain approximate. Carl Heldmann

This is an excellent video breakdown of contrasting styles of play and individual matchups by our friends at Hickory-High. We can talk all we want about predictions but the fact is, the technical side of the game — running plays, exploiting weaknesses, ect. — will play as big of a role as any in deciding the outcome of this series. Hickory-High details these nuances with easy-to-understand video analysis which you can't find anywhere else. If you're a Nuggets or Lakers fan, this is a must read.

The WC involving the nano metal cobalt domains has been prepared by a gas-solid reaction between the cobalt nonequilibrium supersaturated-tungsten powder and carbon mono-oxide gas (CO). The metal Co domains formed in the WC were found to be spherical with a diameter of approximately 60 nm by observing the microstructure with a high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM). The 88.36 mass% WC – 11.64 mass% Co hard metal was prepared by liquid-phase sintering at 1623 K from the powder compact which was mixture of the WC involving the Co domains and the cobalt powder as binder phase. A nano-scale fine structure composed of the WC with average diameter, dAv, of approximately 500 nm was obtained. Its Vickers hardness was found to be Hv 1663 ± 43, being nearly equal to the 95.5 mass% WC–4.5 mass% Co with 1–2 μm WC grains. That is, reduction of 7 mass% WC was accomplished. The WC involving the Co domains is expected to be used as raw materials to form the nano-scale microstructure in the hard metals, resulting in reduction in W components.

This was one that I missed back in '97. Would love to see this in the GOG library! Will buy in an instant!
I own all the CD's...game still sucks. Dunno why people want it so badly. Hell I'd give it away it anyone wanted to pay for the $20+ postage lol
When it will uploaded on GoG, i will buy it in half a second! Best action adventure!
Count me in - i used to have it (though stupidly got rid of it) and i have no doubt it would stand up well to be played today - great plot, brilliantly reproduced bladerunner world and even the voices are some of the film actors. Would be fantastic to see it on GOG and i'd definitely purchase...
Yes, I would purchase it.
instant purchase
Hope this game makes it some day. If so, I hope they add the german version of this game. The voice acting was fantastic in that.
I played this back in the day with the 4 discs, I still could if I was in the country but there's no guarantee it would work and I'd need to work out how to slow my CPU down so the scripted events work, but having just seen the source material for this game two nights ago for the first time, I'm desperate to revisit the story and setting.
I am new here, but I have this game and i am looking to sell it...Anyone with interest in buying it send me your bid and email address to firstname.lastname@example.com. I will send the winning bidder an invoice from paypal and ship out same day clivex mentioned they where willing to pay $30.00 for it...I look forward to hearing back from you!
Yes Please!
Would purchase this in a heart beat
Yeah ,sure, loved it back in the days. And for this huge success of a licensed game, i would pay almost any price, and back then it was at 4 discs, or so, but DRM-Free on Gog.com would be a great great success, for all of us.
now pls. gimme this nao!!!
We wants it, we need it!
Hoping GOG had this game. Give us this game :)
an all time classic now was expecting it to be here a game ahead of its time as everyone has said this NEEDS to happen
I own the CD of Bladrunner but would stillbuy it again just to have an easy to instally, easy to work version. Great game.
GOG's work is not complete until this game is on the site.
Come on GoG, you guys NEED to add this to the library :)
This is truly an amazing adventure game.
I agree. It has to!
it just has to make an appearance! (I hope!)
This game NEED to be on GOG, I've been wanting to replay this game for ages
I will buy no other game on GOG until this becomes available.
come on let's make this happen.
I really regret getting rid of the original game about 10 years ago ;_; It was so awesome. Unfortunately there are probably a lot of licensing issues because the game is based on a film.
Still have this game on CD-ROM, but can't get it to fully work. If GoG gave it their special touch and made it playable on my Windows lappy top, they'd have a day-1 sale for sure.
Man I loved this game. I barely even understood what was going on (I was 12 back then and English isn't my native tongue), but this game was so exciting. It was so detailed, so many things could happen, it kept you on your toes. Simply great.
This is one of those games (like System Shock2) that whenever I find it I buy a copy
...I found one, only empty case, box and manual at goodwill for ...$2.50...I still grabbed even that
Total classic, I wish that is was available here for the exposure, so that the franchise license holder could understand the HUGE fan base/desirability , then perhaps we could see development of a new BR with modern graphics in that same art style (think blade runner noir/art +omikron 3d-world setting), sweet.
I still hate it that i led someone my original version and forgot which person this was ^^ need it again!
This definitely needs to be on GOG!
I will buy no other game on GOG until I can buy this one.
I played this game when it was released (on a number of CD-ROMs), and if there is an old-school adventure style game with beautifully rendered envrionments true to the film, that we need, then this is it!
Blade Runner is one of my favorite movies and I would love to play the pc game.
As a Point and Click addict, I would be delighted to play this game. Please.
Cmon GoG 18000+ votes can't be wrong, let's make this happen!!
This game needs to be on GOG. We cannot allow it to be lost in time...
I own the original discs too, but digital copy will be awesome!
GOG, where is this game?
Please add it, I really wana' play this game, but it's imposible to get
I have the original disc based, but a digital version would be great... a HD remaster even better, but I doubt that will come to pass.
Just beat In Cold Blood, now i need this!
I really regret getting rid of my big box copy of this game. One of the first games I played on PC after jumping to the dark side from a fully souped up Amiga 1200. That's another thing I regret...
yeah, please give people Blade Runner
Bring it this Christmas, gog bring it ..NOW! ...*takes the glass and walks to the balkony...saxophone music in the back... Deckard? ...Rachael?
i would pay up to $30 for this game, not remastered
Dying to have HD-remake too. Or just improved models and animation.

A Year in Burgundy documents the joys and hardships of several Burgundy domaines during the 2011 harvest
Posted: September 18, 2013 By James Molesworth
I'm a movie buff and can churn through two or three movies a week, but it still takes time to get to everything I want to see (I'm one of those Netflix people with 400 movies in their queue). So, apologies for the lack of timeliness here, but I finally got to sit down and watch A Year in Burgundy, which has been available on pre-release DVD for a while but won't be in theaters until December.
A Year In Burgundy was produced by longtime U.S.-based importer Martine Saunier (who recently retired). As she drives her Citroën deux chevaux around to visit with her growers, you figure the cliché machine is about to kick in. But then the movie turns genuinely interesting. Basically a documentary, the movie covers the travails of several domaines, including Dominique Cornin, Michel Gay, Morey-Coffinet, Bruno Clavelier and Christophe Perrot-Minot, during the 2011 growing season and harvest, a tricky year marked by rain, hail, heat and more.

Parr says Williams not giving up on 2011 despite difficult season
|By Pablo Elizalde
|Thursday, August 4th 2011, 10:42 GMT
Williams is not giving up on the 2011 season despite its disappointing campaign so far, according to the team's chairman Adam Parr.
The Grove-based squad endured its worst start to a season this year, only scoring its first points in the sixth round of the championship in Monaco.
Williams has managed just four points in 11 races and it's in ninth place in the standings, 18 points behind Toro Rosso.
Despite the difficult year, Parr says no one in the team is giving up on 2011 yet.
"We are halfway through the season. We just have to do a better job," said Parr. "No one in this team has given up on this year, we will keep going until we do better. It's all one can say."
When asked if the team has started working on its 2012 car, he said: "Absolutely, I'm sure everyone has. But we are not giving up on this year. We will fight to the bitter end."
Parr insisted, however, that Williams is looking at the future with optimism thanks to the deal to use Renault engines and the new people coming in.
"There is a real sense of optimism about the future. Everybody in the team is thrilled to be back with Renault next year, very happy with the new people coming in. I think people needed to feel change. Everyone individually has been doing the best they can.
"It's not that people are disliked. On the contrary, I think everyone likes the people who have been leading the team in the recent past. But there's the sense that we are not getting the results and we needed a change, and people like what we are doing and where we are going."
Parr also said there were no regrets about the team's decision to debut on the Frankfurt stock exchange despite the poor on-track performance.
"The only thing I regret is that we came out this season with a performance we didn't anticipate and which is woefully unacceptable," he said.
"I didn't say we would win the world championship. I believed that we could make progress from where we were last year based on what I saw through the latter half of last year's season.
"I believe we were on a positive trajectory and that we could sustain that. And I was wrong, and we've taken steps to address that. We will deliver. I am confident in what we presented to investors and I am confident we will deliver.
"I'm disappointed in our share price, but it reflects where we are on the track and we have to get that right for a lot of reasons."

Independent Studios Calls Fairlight Constellation The "Fastest Editor In The World"
MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin- For greater flexibility in providing advertising agencies with audio and video post-production services for high-end clients such as Tax Act, Ski Do and West Bend Insurance, Milwaukee, Wisconsin based Independent Studios uses Fairlight's 3-bay Constellation XCS console.
Randy Bobo, Owner at Independent Studios, made the switch to Fairlight almost 12 years ago to have the "fastest editor in the world. "All of our clients come from ad agencies, therefore we need to be ready to handle any project that comes our way," Randy explained.
Most of the work the Independent team does is short-form commercial work for regional and national campaigns. Recently, Independent completed a commercial for Tax Act, which aired during Super Bowl XLVI. Independent has also been highlighted for its work with independent films and documentaries, including Sweet Land, which won the 2007 Independent Spirit Award and starred Elizabeth Reaser.
"Budgets are being cut everywhere, but we haven't missed a step," Randy says. "We were able to build the entire film using our Fairlight system and pre mixed it so it could be exported through an OMF, we even had time to spare. Our work to organize and prep the soundtrack made it even easier for the final mixing process to be done in four days after we passed it on"
By upgrading the entire Independent Studio's facility to Fairlight, "It really opens up our options and allows us much more flexibility in how projects can get done," Randy explains. "We can swap projects between mixers and rooms without any hold up."
The ability to get everything done using Fairlight without the need for a third-party console makes things easier at Independent as Randy explained. "It's great when we have to revise a project or do additional versions especially for commercials, everything is in one box and we can be confident that all the data and tools are there. Now that picture and effects are integrated it makes it even nicer."
With Independent's own in-house server, sending files back and forth between mixers and clients is simple and stress-free. "Everything comes in and out through the server and we can store everything there for easy access. It makes workflow constant and we never waste time looking for files or plugins," said Randy.
Randy mentioned that the sound quality of the console is superb and at times he will compare a dynamic plugin to the onboard dynamics, and most of the time he'll end up using the onboard plugin because it sounds so great. "It's great to have all the plugins. We use them mostly as sound effects rather than cleaning up the audio, but it's nice to have the ability to use different reverbs and effects if needed."
"Everyone who enters Independent is instantly blown away by the way we work," adds Randy. "To get another console or system to do what Fairlight does would cost way too much money. It's amazing how people are drawn to the system after a short time working on the console. There isn't a better tool out there for what we do," Randy summed up.

The White Lion Hostel
Streatham, London, United Kingdom
1 Star Hostel
A visionary and completely unique new hostel run by Music 4 Children, a charity dedicated to helping vulnerable children worldwide. Conveniently located in a large Victorian building on the well connected Streatham High Street, the complex includes accommodation for 70 people, a fantastic bar with live music most evenings and an enclosed beer garden. In the hostel section you will find clean, bright and airy rooms sleeping between 2 and 8 people, including rooms with double beds for couples who desire privacy. Facilities are first class with an abundance of clean toilets, bath and shower rooms, and all guests have unlimited access to our 3 fully equipped kitchens. Music is at the heart of this venue and if you love it as much as we do, you will have no shortage of like-minded souls to hang out with here. In the near future the cellar will host rehearsal rooms for bands and the hostel is run by highly experienced live music promoters, so you can expect to enjoy a wide range of first class live acts almost every evening. If you are a musician or performer visiting London, you have found the right place. If we like your act we may even book you to perform in our bar. Currently in development are 3 roof terrace eco-gardens with amazing views of London which our guests will have full access to when completed. The project is supported by a number of experts and charities and will be something truly special when unveiled later this year. Being run by a charity focused on children, the hostel is naturally a very friendly environment for your children too. We have a safe play area and we will host a range of fun and educational workshops for children in a separate building at the back of the venue this summer.

Alexandria swimming and diving: Four swimmers earn All-CLC honors
Kris Aaseng's wins in the 200 and 500 free events helped lead the Cardinal boys' swimming and diving team to a third place finish in the Central Lakes Conference championships Saturday.
Aaseng's win in the 500 free (4:51.85) was a new CLC record, breaking his own mark, set last year, by three seconds.
The Cardinals had 13 top-eight finishes in the meet, including the two by Aaseng. Max Jacobson, Aaron Pietrowski and Eric Moe also had two apiece.

Spanish Cedar Custom Windows
We must order new windows for our 1937 colonial house for a south facing wall which is 22.5' across with a 10' ceiling. There will also be a door at the side of the windows. All the other windows in our house are wood. I can have single pane windows custom made in the old style (40"x8') double hung in Spanish cedar or I could order a manufactured (Marvin, for example) window. The Spanish cedar windows can be ordered with insulated., low e glass but that is about $500 more per window and they are not as attractive as single pane glass. When I drove around and look at new construction, most windows had a glare and a harsh reflective quality. I think this is due to low-e coating. It would be nice to have a non-drafty, sun defying window but I don't know if it could blend well with our other windows. I do not have to use energy efficient windows according to code since I am remodeling but I would like to be more energy efficient if possible. We live in Louisiana where summers are HOT. Any recommendations are appreciated.
Spanish Cedar is a very good exterior wood. The only issue I would bring up is how shall it be weatherstripped?
Another question is what will keep them open? You can't buy new sash weights very easily, and they are sort of hard to insulate around. You could use Caldwell or Pullman tape balances, a kind of spring device that takes the place of the rope/pulley system.
There are a lot of weatherstripping approaches, but they need to coordinate with the balance system to be efficient.
The link is to the longest-lived weathertipping system for wooden sash windows.

Efron Knew Hudgens Was The One
by WENN | 17 July 2007
Picture: Zac Efron hosting 'Halo 3' Midnight Madness Launch event at Gamestop store Universal City, California - 24.09.07
Actor Zac Efron knew girlfriend VANESSA HUDGENS was the lady for him as soon as they met.
The 19-year-old star met 18-year-old Hudgens at the casting for Disney hit movie High School Musical, and admits he instantly fell for his future co-star.
He says, "For all of the partner things, me and Vanessa always got paired up.
"I was like, 'They're not trying us with other people.' For some reason we kept sticking around (for callbacks). I don't know what it was with Vanessa, but we kind of clicked from the very beginning."

Turning Side Tables Into Benches At The End Of The Bed
Here's a tale I've been dying to tell for a while, but now that we actually got it done (this has been done in my head for over a year), we can spill the beans. Because apparently doing something in your mind does not a blog post make. Ha. So without further ado, here's how we took two 5-year-old side tables from Target (that we hadn't used since we lived in our first house) and turned them into much needed padded ottomans at the foot of our bed (since Burger needs a little help getting up into our extra tall bed, they're like our version of doggy steps).
First we placed the side tables in front of the bed to see if we liked them there.
Sold! The color is great since they tie into the hand-me-down dresser that we got from John's parents. And we're always suckers for an x-based anything, so we were off to the races. Of course they didn't feel quite as integrated with the rug as they could, but we thought a thick charcoal fabric on the top of them (along with some nice cushy foam) could help them tie in a lot better (scroll up to check out the first pic to see how much that gray cushion seems to help).
But on with how we did it. First we used a flat cutting attachment from our Dremel Multi-Max to cut off the top of the table (freeing it from the x-based legs). Sounds crazy, right? But since we wanted to upholster the tabletops – to take them from side tables to benches – and it didn't pop off with the removal of some screws (it was attached with nails and some glue), using the Dremel to get them separated was our best move. Yes, we might have been singing "Keep 'Em Separated" during this phase.
Next I used 1″ foam from JoAnn to create cushions for the top of each ottoman (a 50% off coupon scored us enough to do both tables for just $9). I cut it to the exact size of each top by tracing it with a sharpie and then just cut along that line with a regular old scissors.
Then I used some spray adhesive that we had in my craft drawer to spray the back of each foam square (I did it outside since the residue is super sticky if it settles onto your floor) and then brought them inside and stuck each of them to the table tops.
We only needed one yard of $15 fabric that we snagged at U-Fab to cover those babies (it's sort of a dark charcoal corduroy). So I cut squares of it that were about 4″ wider than the tabletop on all sides (to give me enough fabric to wrap around the foam & wood sides and staple it in place around the back).
I like to pull it all tight and staple it just a few times (ex: 3) on each edge of the back of the table (see above). Then I flip it over to make sure it's tight enough (and nice and centered, since there are small lines in this fabric) before going crazy and adding the rest of the staples to hold everything in place, like you see below:
The corners are always a little tricky, but I just folded the fabric into triangles, sort of like how you wrap the corners of a present. One little triangle overlaps another one and they form a nice clean edge.
Next we brought the legs down to the basement and sanded the edges to make sure there wasn't anything pointy going on (since we cut the top right off of them, they were a bit sharp from that step). Then we used a regular old brown magic marker to color the unstained parts that we sanded down, just so it would all blend again.
Then we pre-drilled some very small pilot holes at an angle that would ensure that a nail would go right through the legs and into the tabletop from underneath, securing everything for a strong result. We did two 2″ nails on each leg (8 nails total) just to be sure it was all nice and secure.
Boom, done. Total spent = less than $12 per ottoman. Total time spent = around two hours (mostly while watching NY Housewives, which might have slowed me down since I was pausing every few minutes to try to understand why everyone was fighting the. entire. episode).
They definitely work for our Burger-getting-into-bed objective, and the best thing is that the colors/materials are so diverse that if we ever wanted to scooch them around the house into some other room/spot we totally could (if we ever found a super long bench for a steal that we'd rather use at the foot of the bed someday, for example). Gotta love flexible pieces. Oh and just for fun here's what we had there before (an old leftover storage bench from our first house), which felt a lot heavier and clunkier:
Oh and as for our "construction" process, our tables are both super light, so our little foam + fabric + nails seem to have done the trick (Burger has hopped on and off a bunch of times along with the bean, who has
completely manhandled them provided some great quality control) but if yours are heavier it probably doesn't hurt to use small screws instead of nails to secure things (the way the legs of our x-based tables were configured we worried that screw-heads would be a lot more obvious/ugly, so we figured if small-headed nails worked that would be a more subtle choice for us).
Oh and I sat on each of them and they didn't explode into kindling or anything, haha, so they're decently strong, although I don't know that we'd actually use them for perching (we have a chair in the corner of the room for that), so as long as they hold Burger (and piles of dirty clothes if we're being real) we're happy.
What items of furniture have you guys been tweaking with fabric or paint or foam or hardware lately? Any other side-table-to-ottoman conversions going on? Does anyone else remember that awesome Victoria Hagan collection from Target from back in 2007? That's where we got these x-based babies (I think for around $50 a pop). Her collection was totally the best. Wish she'd come back for an encore presentation. Who wants to bang on the table and slow-chant "we want Hagan" with me? Anyone?

Looks great! I love instant satisfaction projects like this!
This is totally unrelated to your pretty new ottomans, so I apologize but don't know where else to request a specific blog post topic.
I have a lot of trouble staying on top of home cleaning and you guys seem to do a good job with that- could you post on the topic?? Would be ever grateful. :)
Very cute – do you find you use them more than the other piece of furniture that was there?
Side note: every piece of furniture I look at, I often tell my hubby "we should paint….or spray paint….or…" etc. To which he responds: "you can't do that" and then I say "oh yeah…." and proceed to open your blog. I think he has a love/hate thing with you guys…..loves the blog…..hates that I can prove him wrong. ;-)
Great idea… as always!
On a side note, do you find the cords being visible behind the dresser to be distracting? I notice it in every bedroom pic. I know you've had great suggestions for other cord wrangling and just wondering if there's a reason you don't do it here.
They looks awesome! (Big surprise…not) I love that you made something to help Burger. We had a small 6 lb Toy Fox Terrier and there's nothing more pathetic looking that those eyes looking at you when they're on their tippy toes and have no way to hoist themselves the rest of the way.
They look really awesome. I love how they have more height than the other bench so they look more related to the bed. I can see how you'd want something longer though. Maybe someday you'll come across a 3rd one and you can have 3 of them! haha.
I finally painted an old dresser I'd had sitting around for like a month. I painted it black and it looks really nice. I was considering doing a fun pop of color on the inside but once it was painted, I liked the natural wood inside. :) Now I need to go buy hardware and then I can move it into my room. It'll be so nice to have a dresser after 4 months of being dresser-less! Yay! :)
Love them! I have a similar plan in the works for a few old side/coffee tables once we do our basement. I love how these turned out.
Was 1″ foam thick enough? And did you consider a little batting on top to add to the plushness?
And another trivia question ('cuz I like to keep you thinking) – what's your favorite one-day-super-quick project on THIS house?
Wow guys!! it is amazing how something so small can make such a big difference!! We did some chair upholstering/make over a few weeks back. Check it out. Would love to know what you think? :)
Really like these! Just wondering how they might look side by side turned the other way (so you didn't see the X)? Did you try it that way?
I'm so glad that you did this! I keep looking for something to help my Chihuahua to get in our bed. He is getting older and has a hard time jumpng up there. Most of the ottomans are so clunky, but this seems light and easy to do! I'm wondering if there are any side tables at Target now……:)
Beautiful! Love the color and texture of the fabric.
I also love "X" things — I have many subtle "X" shapes in my living room.
(Subconscious recollection of childhood days spent watching "Family Feud" …?) :)
I am seeing a trend in your warm wood home additions lately…. lol
I'm with Erin I think they definitely need some nailhead trim if you can manage it! They look amazing, but there is something…unfinished looking about them. Just compared to all the other amazingness going on in that room! Love you guys though and I didn't comment yesterday, but I am so excited for your book release- I pre-ordered a month or so ago and I can't wait!
I love end-of-the-bed benches/ottomans/stools. Our current bedroom is too tiny for that, but I'm hoping our bedroom in whatever house we move into (wayyy down the line) will have room for something at the end of the bed!
ooh really love these! Great job upcycle-ing! The color of the wood really helps that dresser fit in the room better!
I see you got Burger's seal of approval right off the bat!
I love this! The new ottomans blend in well with the other colors and wood pieces in your room. Great idea!
Love the new ottomans. Have you considered using that brown magic marker to cover the nail heads? I think it'd help them blend right in.
They look really amazing!!! I love the fabric that you used to cover them!!!
I am looking to something like this with my super cheap ones from IKEA…they are in white!!!
Love them. I just finished my own DIY tufted ottoman project. Here's the result.
http://instagram.com/p/PPglh8KbFt/ I'm smitten!
I'll join your slow chant! As soon as I saw the tables I said "Victoria Hagan, Target" in my head. Haha. Target nerd alert!
These turned out great. Love the grey cord! I'm totally inspired to think out of the box for our bed too now. Our pup also can't make it into the bed on her own, so we have a chair at the end of the bed currently, which does NOT look good. Great job guys!
Honestly, I like the dark storage bench better. X-legs always remind me of those folding things at hotels that you can use to set your suitcase on. To each his (or her) own.
Love these!! Could this count as a dude get on that already challenge??
Side note- a lot of times when you have a new post up I am unable to get the web page to refresh and let me see it (but I know there is a new post via FB). Even now (an hour later) my browser still won't got to the newest post. I can still link over from facebook or search a key word in the posy (i e ottoman)… But it never just pulls right up! Maybe just because lots of people are reading? Anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it??
Love this upgrade. You guys are so clever and resourceful.
Burger question: you have added some new unwashable fabric items lately with these stools and the upholstered headboard. My dog is approximately 5 times Burger's size, so maybe that's the difference, but I've always been concerned about all those extra textiles attracting dog hair and being yet another surface to vacuum. Have you noticed that more cleaning is needed with these new items? Thanks!
Had you considered orienting them the other way [turned 90 degrees] so the X's are on the end and they read a bit more continuous? Just a thought!

Fatigued Wild falls flat in TeamTennis home opener
Last year the Texas Wild snapped the Washington Kastles' 34-match winning streak in the Wild's home opener, but the Wild couldn't repeat the result Tuesday for its second home opener in Las Colinas against the three-time defending World TeamTennis champion.
Washington got off to a fast, and despite the Wild staying close until the fourth set, Washington took control with a 5-1 victory in women's doubles to open a 19-12 lead. The Kastles held on in the final set of men's doubles to seal a 24-15 victory.
The loss was the first of the season for the Wild, which opened with two victories on the road, at Boston and at Springfield. Washington evened its season record at 1-1.
It was the Wild's third match in three nights and the fatigue was starting to show.
"Looking at the schedule, I had this penciled in as a difficult night because of the travel," Wild owner Jeff Launius said. "On the road two nights and Springfield [Mo.] is not an easy place to get to, so we were up at 4:45. We played hard, but I think we were just fatigued.
"If you had seen the first two matches, you would have seen the difference. Just a little jet lag."
Washington's Bobby Reynolds picked up a 5-2 victory over Alex Bogomolov in men's singles, despite some competitive play by Bogomolov, who hit the hardcourt once in the first game of the night and twice on one point later in the set.
Bogomolov was treated on the court by a trainer three times for scrapes.
Texas stayed close in the middle sets with Anabel Medina Garrigues pulling out a narrow 5-4 victory over Jarka Gajdosova by winning a tiebreaker. Leander Paes and Gajdosova then slipped by Garrigues and Aisam Qureshi 5-4 in a tiebreaker.
"This team has some fight in it," Launius said. "I think you saw that with Boggie and Qureshi, and with Anabel Medina coming back to win the women's singles. In all honesty, this team has more heart than any team I've seen. They claw, they fight, they don't stop."
But Washington stretched its lead in the fourth set, with a 5-1 victory by Gajdosova and Anastasia Rodoinova cruising past Garrigues and Darija Jurak, 5-1.
Launius said he was pleased with the turnout, despite some empty seats.
"Opening up on a Tuesday night is a bit of a difficult night," he said. "But we had 1,113 people here so we'll take that on a Tuesday night. I think Friday night will be better. We'll have Ladies Night promotion and we'll have fun and play the Philadelphia Freedom."
In other action, Austin bounced back from a season-opening loss Monday night with a 19-17 victory over Springfield. San Diego was playing Philadelphia late on the West Coast.

It's not at all surprising any longer to hear about companies leaking data, or losing it to hackers, so the other day's news that 19,000 customers' credit-card information had been stolen from AT&T wasn't particularly interesting. However, some more information has come to light, showing this wasn't a run-of-the-mill credit-card theft. David Lazarus in the SF Chronicle discovered that the hackers didn't immediately go and try to max out the credit cards, they used the stolen info as the basis for an elaborate phishing attack in an attempt to gather more information -- such as Social Security numbers and dates of birth -- from their victims. A lot of credit-card theft remains a relatively low-level crime, where thieves will just try to buy stuff as long as they can. But these hackers eschewed those short-term gains, instead trying to get enough information to commit more serious identity theft, something that could have much longer-lasting and detrimental effects. The used the stolen information to make the email they sent to victims look much more credible than the average "DEAR SIR, Pleease be updating in your PayPal akount informations" message. Given people's growing suspicion of emails, even legitimate ones, it's an interesting tactic, and one that could become more common.

Re:... Are you serious? He was saying that that is the usual crap these scammers spout, and that adding a credit card number makes an email allot more credible.

AT&TAT&T is in on the scam. Follow the money. Even if you do
not have a credit card (if you do cancel it) with them; call and say there has been a mistake in your account and they have sent you a bill for a purchase you did not make.
First thing they will ask you for, even after giving them
an account number(make one up); is your social security number.
