Heh, we have ancient steam radiators, with the little vents on the side. In cold weather, condensation is a much bigger problem than dryness. Unlike old hot-water radiators, a humidifi...

As for the bed on the floor being bigger than the one on the wall-- if you look carefully, it's also thinner. So I think that the green and the white piece are both doubled up (four p...

Is that a bookshelf? I don't see how it could possibly function for storing anything. If you're swimming in so much space that you can afford to take up that much of a wall with a pure...

@18thandCali: Yes, it is. Add me to the list of the (still) confused. So, does it mean having separate "areas" in rooms, defined by furniture, rather than treating the en...

According to a book on maintaining old houses that I have, our radiators are "self-bleeding"-- that's what the steam-whistle looking thing on the side is, and while it periodically starts spouting ...

That photo makes me miss Roslindale!

How to Breed Superbacteria, FTW.

I sold my car just before I moved to Boston a little over five years ago, and I have not regretted it. Much, much easier without a car. Other people get towed for parking on the wrong ...

When I was growing up, we never had a gas stove. I didn't live in a place that had one until three years ago (when I was 33). So far, I haven't noticed a huge difference over the elect...

I think that the poll about size is kind of meaningless without info about how many people were living there. After all, even 2000 sq feet can start getting tight if you have a large ...

The ledge she's sitting on wraps around the wall to the left coming towards the camera-- I presume there's a way up either to the left of the camera or behind it.

Ugh. I just copied and pasted the lyrics, but now I'm noticing whoever did them up made a couple of mistakes (green seagull? wha?). Wish I could edit my post to fix.

I see a red door and I want it painted black No colors anymore I want them to turn black I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes I have to turn my head unti...

bepsf - She rents. Therefore, I doubt she's going to want to sink $$$$ into replacing the heating system for her landlord.

I expected this to have more "not" votes-- because I voted "hot", and normally my tastes so often seem to go against the grain of this community (I'm not into the whole ultra-modern minimalistic th...

It's over the top and wholly impractical. But I kinda like it, so I voted "hot". Though I admit, that even if I had the space (that thing is bigger than my bathroom!) and ...

There's a coal-burning plant less than a mile away, and I live on a busy street. It never seems to take long for the outside windows to get dirty again after I clean them. I dug the "a...

I have a big 4x4 Expedit room divider and I love it. I also have a second-hand sofa with throw pillows from target, and a funky-crazy afghan that's older than I am (and still has a scr...

I love these!
