No, like others have said, it would be far too difficult to do well. I think it's a beautiful piece as it is--I love the houndstooth with the wood, it would be great with a ski lodge/cottage chic/m...

I don't know if they still do it now, but I remember the UBC School of Architecture students used to be assigned a project to remodel the Vancouver Special, and there were lots of really great prop...

Yep, another Vancouverite here. If you want to make money, go to Toronto. Here, taxes are high and wages are subpar. If you choose to live here, it's for the lifestyle (the skiing, the seawall, the...

Nope, you take the corks off. They're exactly like beakers.

Agree with the posters who told you not to downplay it and instead pare everything down with lots of whites and/or neutrals. I would use this from a recent house tour:

There are a multitude of apartments in better parts of downtown Vancouver for less per square footage that these highly controversial "micro-lofts" (which part of it is a "loft" exactly?)

Gorgeous house! A house tour with one of the very best use of bold color choices! Really fantastic job.

I laughed out loud at jerrysabatini's comment. I once lived in a beautiful old apartment...that was ridden with silverfish. The thought of it still makes me shiver. So while I love th...

I'd love it more if I could actually see the space instead of just vignettes. A write up doesn't help if it talks about things we aren't actually shown. Melissaann has a good point. Wh...

imaginaryline, try textures. Textured whites can look very luxurious. Or go with an ivory, off-white.

There's a location in Vancouver as well, on W. 4th. I've gone there for years and have always found their staff off-putting. They either hover and follow you around after you tell the...

Wow, someone else who misses Caban! Most places I've rented from wouldn't allow drilling holes in the walls. Tension rods are great.

Wow, that is an awesome clock. It's definitely a flip clock, though I don't know any more than that.

The first one is very clever. With the second pic, I would've mounted a hinged panel/artwork over the fusebox instead.

My understanding is that mirrors facing the bed or mounted behind the bed/headboard facing the door are no-no's. But then again, I don't subscribe those beliefs.

Love it. This is one of the rare examples where taxidermy decor was done right.

To make matters worse, these decals are only $15. Now why couldn't they have used their powers for good instead of evil?

Haha, that's shockingly simple. I feel like, "why haven't I thought of this before?"

That's a bit snide--I've met people who were actually inspired by their pets in their decor choices. I love it all, except for the awful green rug.

Rug pads can easily be found in any hardware store. While you're there to buy the caulk, you might as well....
