run the garbage disposal, if you have one, with a little bit of dishwashing liquid power down extraneous electronics (tv, cable box, laptop)

never in a million years how I would have done it, but i love it! like a fairy tale...

My holiday is supposed to be R&R, but it will likely be more W-O-R-K, via the internet, from a house a block from the beach. Sigh.

I would go for a light linen or cream duvet cover. See if you can't make it a little bit safari/expedition -- dark wood trunks, dark red kilim pillows with wooden and leather buttons, sisal rugs. ...

Lovely! And I like how it looks good with the brass bed, which is a lovely piece but often hard to fit into a room. And I would never have thought of those color choices, but they look great!

Definitely add color! There's plenty of ways to do it if you don't want to paint, including lampshades and throws and flowers. Consider painting those little nightstands. And add something to th...

any chance she could fit the vaccuum under the bed? I've seen this done before.

I just switched my colors around... bright, cheery yellow for spring and summer, rich reds and purples and greens for winter!

really lovely and personality-filled. Mobiles aren't my thing, but I love the aged map wallpaper in the office. And i would kill for that porch and that view!

to be honest, I would try stripping it first. the bathroom in my old apartment had painted-over wallpaper, and it looked terrible. You could tell exactly where the seams were, the corners were ro...

Hi Firebird, A couple suggestions from someone who loves her tv and cellphone but likes to save money other ways... - try eating meat only 2 or 3 times a week. there are ...
