When you invite someone after dark, *please* make the house numbers visible!!! I recently went to someone's place and NO ONE on the street had numbers that were visible! I ended up having to knock ...

I cannot wait for the idiotic pedestal sink fad to pass. A bathroom vanity offers so much storage space in what can amount to the same footprint as the pedestal sink.

Is that a bingo ball dispenser on the credenza?! I did something similar in my last house, only I had an armoire instead of a bookcase. One of my big RV reno challenges th...

Living in a tiny space (my RV has about 200 square feet) gives me time to do other things simply because 200 square feet takes less time to maintain and upkeep than does 900 square feet.

The reason I chose the RV I live in is that it gives me a whole room to devote to a home office. I actually posted some shots of my home office to my blog last night (http://travelswithmiranda.uske...

Living in RV parks has taught me to appreciate communal living at the expense of privacy. I get to live in places with amenities I couldn't afford on my own (eg. pool) and the RVing community is su...

I just don't get animal prints, especially the very popular zebra stripes. Cat prints look tacky and zebra stripes are just plain ugly. So, these chairs a definite don't in my decor universe!

My RV has a dressing room but the wardrobe sucks. *sighs* The space has a full-length mirror, which I think is necessary in a dressing room, and the vanity area has plenty of lighting ...

A Dri-Z-Air dehumidifer would really help in this room (http://travelswithmiranda.uskeba.ca/?p=783 for a review, you can buy them on amazon.com) Not very aesthetically pleasing, but ch...

I'd say late 50's.

The second 'white' post of the day, which firmly confirms that a white environment is boring, ugly, and sterile. I like the punches of royal blue in the 'before' and keeping some of it would have r...

Christine's place is very close to the vision I have of what my RV will look like once I'm done with it. I can't wait to have some colour in here! Love the orange in the first pic, too!

My home's an RV and I named her Miranda. People name ships, so why not RVs that are, really, like ships on wheels? Her name comes from a planet in the movie 'Serenity' and serves as a reminder of w...

This post brings me back to an earlier post, about design pet peeves. Black and white checked tiles are one of mine. I have yet to figure out why anyone would find them to be a good idea as I find ...

I love her style, especially the punches of colour (especially teal and orange), but the space itself caused a flare-up of my claustrophobia, and I live in an RV! I definitely could not live in a s...

Great decorating job, but who designed that kitchen?! The stove and fridge appear to be a million miles away from the sink! Smart gal adding that island on wheels!

Philistines! :D I planned to paint the toilet room in my RV lavender, but now I'm thinking a bright, shocking grape tone instead. :D Purple has always had a place in my ho...

My favourite fridge is the one in the middle in the top row. My fridge is beautiful (oak paneled

Few, if any, motels/hotels clean the bedspread and blankets after each guests, just the sheets! Can we say EW!!! I would bring a 'sleep sack' (sheet sewn into a bag shape) that I could...

Before I traveled everywhere with my own home, I would enter a motel room and strip the bedding, replacing it with my own. I'd also wipe down the phone, the remote, and the light switches. I'd also...
