To jumpstart the change, take off the little magnets and doodads on your fridge. See if leaving the refrigerator surface bare improves the space for you. Or replace all the small stu...

If I weren't allowed to paint these walls, the urge to paint them a radically different color would be mighty powerful. I'd be all "Do. Not. Want. muddy creamsicle walls. If I were a...

Why is the feng shui bad? (A sincere question - not rhetorical.) Is it because the layout isn't a square, so there are vacuums in certain quadrants? IMO, feng shui has a ...

Does it come with a rake?

I hope Marie shares details of what's going on. If it's loud clanging in the walls, it might be just the pipes. If it's the semi-transparent figure of an old man hoverin...

Wow. This place is terrific. Nicely planned and a lot of fun. Is your place really only 200 square feet - including the loft sleeping area & closet? Not doubting your word ... jus...

Whenever I see a picture of that couch, I think Michelin Man or skin rolls on an obese baby.

It's their party space; their prerogative to trick it out according to their fantasies. I don't know ... it's not beautiful. Maybe they weren't aiming for that. The color choices a...

... or put paper behind the screen and hang it up on the wall. That's my bias talking ... I'm not a fan of screens serving no function just taking up floor space.
