I'd paint them white/off-white, keep the counters, and replace that brick with subway tile.
Some blue and white accessories, some nickel hardware, and you got yourself a very cute kit...
You're off to a good start! I would focus on function instead of strictly decorative elements. If you have guests stay more than one or two nights, they would probably like a place to hang or store...
I always had a problem with dust when I had open shelving. I'm a clean person but I guess not clean enough to avoid this problem. Plus, with two cats...no one wants grey tabby with their soup...
It looks like from the pictures that the living room and dining room are already opened up to eachother pretty well, so I personally don't see the advantage of knocking down that wall. The molding ...
When I was in graduate school, I worked from home in the mornings and then went to my campus office after lunch. That was the perfect set-up since I am super productive in the morning and had no pr...
My husband and I had a similar issue. Our solutions are:

Well, maybe most of us can't afford a chandelier like this, but it is a great inspriration and makes me wonder if I could attempt my own version. A craigslist find, a little glossy spray paint, som...
Where are your dining table chairs from? I love them.
Love how it strikes me as both stylish, city-chic and playful, child-friendly. Thank you also for showing things like the radiator...
White! Of all the colors, it was picking a white that brought me to the brink of a decorating meltdown. Who knew. There are only about ten million shades of white... Finally got it after four repai...
Does anyone have a good source for pillowforms? - specifically looking for some with substance (not the cheap, easily flattenable stuffing....). I love sewing my own pillow covers but I'm still no...
Sounds like curious cats and cutting corners is the cause of many DIY disasters:)
For me, I think changing my mind mid-project causes the most DIY stress for me. My husband and I has a...
I subscribed to Domino but I have to say I won't be heartbroken when it goes out. It was okay for eye candy but there wasn't a enough for lot my modest budget lifestyle.
I probably will also...
The mattress on the floor reminds me of when I was just starting out on my own and hadn't yet saved enough money for a bedframe. I like to think of it as so boho chic. Those were the days!
I had mounted reading lights that I believe used halogen bulbs. The light was too concentrated and harsh, so I took them down. They were great for space-saving on the bedside table but not nice to ...
