I painted a smallish interior bathroom bright orange - a fantastic color. However, as someone stated above, everything reflected orange, including the tone of one's skin in the mirror and it was h...
Great job! A calm bedroom is essential to one's sanity... I like the "outbox" idea. I realize that although I didn't call it that I guess I have been using the technique myself for a couple of y...
Wow. I bought this pillow just yesterday! Yes, sadly it is not the lifetime investment piece that some would hope for but it sure is pretty. I'm having a color identity crisis in my bedroom so I...

I love the photo of the toys on the shelf - great colors and great photography. This is a pretty huge house - while I understand that this is all about design, isn't this getting a bit far from th...
Yes! I have one of these at the top of the stairs leading down to the entrance/exit - I hang things I need to bring with me and can't miss them on the way out. Also works great when a visitor has...
Yikes. That is BAD. Even if the LL won't actually pay you'd benefit from the replacement so it would be worth it! I'd find it hard to imagine your landlord NOT letting you improve the bathroom -...
I want to run home right now and look this up in my "1000" chairs book! Unfortunately I should really stay and finish my work - but believe me, it will be the first thing I do when I get home - I'...
