I recently eliminated Grout and Vancouver day (both cool greys) because Grout sounds ugly and Vancouver Day is just sad- especially here in Ontario where we have had a Vancouver winter for a summer...

Lying opposite ends is amazing for anyone who wears painful shoes, or stands all day. Guilt your partner into a foot massage with the sight of your blisters!

One decorative pillow- thats it. I have some extras for my couch stashed away, but those were originally used to make my dorm bed look like a couch and now are just too much.

It looks cool, but it strikes me as being more of a designer scratching post than anything else. All it is missing is the catnip. You can even hide toys!

I like it a lot. Mainly because I live in a cave-like basement, and more light and space would be beautiful! The dance idea is also quite good... I dance, but I did not clue in to that...

I think I'd get some interesting looks if I used my old absinthe or vodka bottles. Love my Klean Kanteen, but I think these will stay indoors- so long as I don't have the urge to go scare so...

I like the idea of covering the back cushions of a sofa in a print, yet leaving the seat and the rest in a solid. White or chocolate brown appeals to me as the solid, and patterns that have or look...

Paint your cabinet and old rusted sides of the medicine cabinet. The color makes a big difference, and makes it look like a new cabinet. Also, if you have linoleum or vinyl floor, it is easy and ch...

Radio alarms make a good morning. I tend to sleep in too much sometimes, so I have a tibetan singing bowl alarm clock, my radio alarm in my kitchen, and my irritating cell phone alarm plugged in a ...

I must admit, that for weddings under 200, I don't see why not to do it yourself... This could be the fact that I have gotten accustomed to cooking portions for 50 , or just the fact that I have ye...

It could be fun to bring some Japanese garden elements indoors... Gold fish in an interesting bowl/aquarium, red lacquer or wood elements, soft greens, and rock accents. I have no outdoor sp...

First photo is incredible. I think I just had a moment of (unrealistic) desire to go into carpentry. Unrealistic because I envision myself being like Joey from Friends handling a power saw.

I love the pinstripes on the first one! Perfect for a fresh seaside look!

a deep brown might be nice, or a dark clouds just before a downpour grey. I would add some artwork that is a little bit lighter to have things not too dark. A bit of sparkle might work to lighten a...

I'd like to see more of the poppy orange. Not too much though. Perhaps in a sheer, layered under a soft green to match your bedding, or a solid pale green linen curtain, with a large panel blocking...

To anyone who thinks that Alice in Wonderland wasn't strange or creepy enough, remember Marilyn Manson's project about Lewis Carol (that seems to have never come out) with Lily Cole as Alice, and h...

I live in Ottawa, complete with -35 C winters, and a particularly irritating union for the bus drivers. This winter the bus drivers went on strike from Dec-Feb, the coldest and stormiest time. I wa...

Quiche or tarts. Crustless works well too! Use a touch of a light tasting cheese such as a young gouda, gruyere, or a good brie (so as to make the eggs the focal point) and maybe some...

For a bachelorette party the mold would have to change! I wouldnt want anything too sugary or colored... I can imagine major messes. On the plus, I could totally see myself biking with...

smileygirl, try covering them with fabric or decorative paper? I've always gravitated towards the fabric covered boxes similar to these from Ikea, but the fabric covered are always at a more expens...
