@mron- I would consider attaching something to the wall with a small ledge (like 4 inches wide) with a lip and maybe like 2 inches of depth almost like a mini window flower box? And then maybe a fe...

@Joan52 - I think you can tell when you live in a tiny pad when you know the square footage down to to the ones column. My baby is 575 sq ft of chaos and I love her. What I like lookin...

ErikTheRed - I completely disagree with you. I have hundreds of VHS tapes and hundreds of DVDs. They matter to me. Most of what I have on VHS never made it to DVD (and transfering them is against t...

Classic, I agree. Only one printer in the whole bunch...and very few with actual computers. I get that not everyone uses one, but most of us do, so we need to get some of that going on.

My current roommate really changed my way of dealing with this. He is 21 years old and is simply careless with both his own things and mine. He superglued something to a wall because I asked him no...

@FB - Where are you seeing clutter? Seriously, it looks like how my apartment looks when I clean for a party and shove everything not nailed down into the walk-in closet. Love the fire...

I actually was hit with this on Monday so I went out and bought cheap sunglasses. I do think the key is to sate yourself on small things. I find CDs and DVDs good choices. I like to pi...

Well put, Chester! I bought my apartment and live in a building right on Gramercy Park. I inherited neighbors who have loud marathon fights followed by blissfully short (but painfully ...

I agree with Healey, I canceled my NYSC membership and splurged on a Gazelle. However, I have not been using it nearly enough because I have such a MESSY apartment. I hate cleaning, I hate organiz...

Henrietta, do you have a link to that bedroom?

Really an awesome room! I am not a big neon colors fan, but you knocked this out of the park, the city and the universe!!! Oh, and I must know where you got the big brown chair (I am in hunt for th...

I am all for the death of MCM...sorry, I am not a fan, I infact, despise most of it. Also, having a place that looks beautiful but no one could actually live in it. It makes the rest ...

I had tiles in two of my three undergraduate dorms in New York and even if the apartment was warm the floors were cold. This could be because one of those two buildings was orginially a prison, but...

I think this could be a really nice gift for a friend. Those ones from Target and Marshalls are nice, but think of how much fun it could be if you made one to match a friend's dorm bedding with the...

The vinyl/mp3 debate never ceases to amaze me. I have had both in my lifetime (I am only 22, but I got my first record at 7) and I prefer digital whole heartedly because it makes the music I love m...

I used a bunch of DNA portraits for my MFA submission...now you guys have me wondering whose they were and if their privacy is being violated...man, and they thought Maplethorpe was controversial.

I could write a novel on this subject (mostly having to do with clothes: the perfect silk dress for $30 should have bought it, a fully sequined/beaded cocktail dress for $20 that I have had several...

I actually like a lot of the stuff they are planning to get rid of, and I am not crazy about the kitchen renovation. But to each his own.

Take off the front cover, fill with drop cloths, old towels, bedsheets, etc, Duct tape any additional space where you still feel air coming in.

I really need to see some before/after pics to see if this will look good. I have very dated tiling that is in good shape, but is cream and mauve collored. I am desperate to do the emerald green/ba...
