Do not paint your woodwork. As someone has already stated, painting your woodwork will diminish the value of your home. Do not wallpaper the back of your bookcases for the same reason.
I've done this in three different rental kitchens over the last 10 years. I always save the old faucet and when I move, the old faucet gets reinstalled. I have a Delta, pull up faucet and sprayer...
I have two suggestions for a room arrangement.
One idea, suggested earlier by Taritac, place the chest against the wall between the doors, hang your TV on the wall above it, and elim...
Given that the F&P dish drawer has received bad reviews from Consumer Reports due to repair issues, perhaps buying a competitor's dishwasher drawer is the wiser action. Kitchenaid and some other m...
I love the rug, but frankly it's not practical. As noted earlier, the grooves do not appear vacuumable and the composition of the rug would appear to make it incapable of being washed or professio...
Take the table to a professional furniture restorer or cabinetmaker to have the formica top removed and the table top restored or veneered. If you want your table to look great, do not attempt thi...
I see a lot of the furniture in the room is made by Baker. Nothing wrong with that, but I would have expected a professional designer to source furniture from a variety of manufacturers. Of cours...
Before I would just walk into a store and buy a couch, especially on credit, I would do a whole lot of research. $3000 is a lot of money to spend on a piece of furniture and you want to make sure ...
This apartment does not demonstrate minimalism it's simply empty and unkempt. Even the writer of the referenced W magazine article conveys an uncertainty about the space by attempting to dispell t...
I agree with Idontdobeige, since you enjoy your view, move your living room area to the windowed side of the apartment and move the dining room area to the space now occupied by the living room. I...
I wasn't in love with the apartment when I first saw it, but as I went through the house tour, I was drawn in by all her collections and friends. This home is incredibly fascinating.
If my outdoor parking situation were such that it were a necessity, yes, I'd have no problem parking the car in my house. I once considered buying a condo townhouse lacking a garage, where I would...
The Mark Twain Home in Hartford, Ct contains several innovations. The ones I liked most were the "walk-out" windows and "see through" fireplace flues. A few of the large double-hung windows on th...
I agree with Daffodill. Since you have a dining room and apparently otherwise eat informally, create a sitting area out of the "stage". Many people have sitting areas in or adjacent to their kitch...
If you want prints of 8x10, 11x14, 16x20 or bigger, I recommend that you find a professional color lab in your local area. They can be found in your phone book under "photographic developing and p...
I always try to buy well-made, durable furniture and as a result, I have normally gotten 15 or more years of service from it, even good Ikea pieces. Aside from wear and potential abuse, the princi...
It appears from the impressive renderings that this could be a spectacular place to live. I don't know of many NYC buildings that sit on park boundaries, especially an elevated one.
Though I'm not a big supporter of Ikea, and I agree with some of the article's assertions, the home furnishings market conditions at the time they arrived in the U.S. are notable. Prior to the com...
It's a beautiful place, although very minimalist. What bothers me is pictures 3 and 5 here and one of the pictures on the architect's website shows the garage door on the front of the house with ...
