wait wait there's -- Even if she isn't the boss, she didn't have to work - there is a choice called quitting. But either way, I think some people were making the point it's not the customer's choic...

Sarah in Nola -- Yes, I love the storage ottoman I got from Target too. I have yet to procreate - lol - but the it's good for storing all the controls for video games and remotes that the fiance ad...

So far, there's just a sheet and blanket on the bed. I guess some of you would freeze to death, but I find I can't sleep well unless I am both under the covers and a little cold. I don't have a dow...

I agree with Lisa - I think it was meant to hold guest towels.

JuliaL -- Unless people here in Indiana are just weird, employees do get paid overtime for holidays and I can think of a few dozen people who would rather work and get the money than celebrate. An...

I have to agree with the investment piece as long as you can afford it. The sofa tends to be mine in the living room - but almost each room has one (ex: the bed in bedroom).

bepsf - I must agree since I also see labchick's point. Yes it's not the best place the builder could have put it, but covering it up doesn't help it regulate the temperature either. ...

Eat in kitchens have their flaws - I have one and I personally don't like staring at dirty pots and pans while I'm trying to eat. It stresses me. Maybe I'm the only person who eats before cleanin...

I agree with dkzody - would love to see it unfolded. I'd love to have it for the spare room since it would take up less space - but I can already see everyone asking what's in there when visiting ...

I've had regrets with clothes mostly...I don't quite do the put it away for a year and decide though. I will box it up and sit it in the corner for probably about two weeks - that way if I decide ...

I said yes though technically only if the blinds are up or just opened (I'm talking apartment-standard mini-blinds), but the people in the building across from us never lower them, so it's a perfec...

I think the best ideas mentioned so far without risking breaking the lease by changing things too much are getting some butcher blocks cut in to fit over the sink and stove. More than likely you w...

The white comes off slightly pink and I would worry that would offend some buyers - so the before was better.

The third and fourth aren't half bad. I would go with them over no fireplace which is what I am with now.

My parents and I do this sometimes on anything that we would both use and also costs the same to just a little more to get it in bulk. It works since we live close by and can keep up with what eac...

tmoore - I reread my posts. It's on dim when I find it too dark in my apartment to comfortably see or when I'm gone. Maybe you misunderstood me.

Engaged means we made a commitment to one another that we plan to stay together. Maybe you should look up some words. Marriage is basically getting the license and in our case since neither of us l...

My jewelry is only displayed when I wear it. When it's not, it's back in it's home in the jewelry box.

Use the alcove by the door and closet for your "bedroom" - if you really want the privacy, curtain it off. I would think a full size bed with two narrow nightstands should fit perfectly. A dresser...

If I wasn't leery of strangers entering my place, I'd rent out my apartment in 2012 when the superbowl comes here and stay at my parents for the duration....LOL....people would kill for it over a h...
