I use my nesting tables all the time. There oak and I got them from my Mum as a hand me down so I don't know how old they are. My living room is an awkward space so I can't have a big coffee table...

Ha ha Miss Mable, you just have to start developing a cleaning disorder and go berserk on the bathroom!! That should use them up quick enough!!

I really understand this problem, and I'm into my crafts. Solution, Freecycle. You give those craft materials, like bottles and corks, away when you don't need them (to other crafters) and you go...

"I think I'm just one of those people who needs shampoo. If I go a day without washing my hair, it gets oily and greasy and, honestly, doesn't smell too good. Sometimes I even wash my hair twice a ...

Film nerd!! Are you getting all taste police on Kat & Jons post. Some of us share thier sense of style, some of us don't... steady on! I happen to like homes that have a certian fade...

I'm with Mrscatbird... the backgammon makes me think of the 70's. If you remember the original Thomas crown affair (60's) it was all about chess. I think Backgammon may have featured in a 70's bo...

This week alone I took my unwanted books to a carboot sale (flea market/stoop sale) and only sold one, then I took them to a friend of mines 2nd hand book shop and he could only take a few because ...

The single sleigh bed as a daybed/sofa in a one room apt reeeeaaalllly works. Must make a note of that

My American husband was, at first, shocked that I would re-upholster. At first it appears expensive compared to buying new. I don't recall my mother every buying new, we would always re-upholst...

Forget yer mid century modern!! I'd totally live here

"When I stayed in a Paris apartment, it had it's own washer in the kitchen, but no dryer. No problem for my clothes. I hang them up to dry anyway. But the sheets and towels! Especially the sheets! ...

Of course I "oooh'd and aaah'd" at the beautiful bookcases, and I love how you have sourced everything; very sustainable. I believe time proves quality and I think when something is second hand, i...

What a grotesque and bizarre collection of hammer horror props!!! I think I love it

I've been trying to source wine boxes locally and they're proving very elusive, was chatting with a capenter friend, who said he'd make me a few for the cost of the wood... I'll keep ye posted

Firstly, Jenny!! Meow!! Secondly, I love the bathroom!! I love that it feels so opulent, I always thought the ultimate indulgence would be a fireplace. Thirdly, the space...

Blue and black, sounds a bit institutional... Yellow is the opposing color on the color wheel to purple so... It's a question of shade. Your hallway looks whacky, but freshly painted a...

I'd love to see more pictures of the apartment, funky and all that your collections are... I can't get a sense of the layout. What I can see looks wonderful

What I really get a kick out of is the childrens suite. I've thought that if I ever posted my house on AT, I'd show of my teenage sons bedroom, messed up as it usually is with the drum kit that sw...
