Maybe I am being distracted by the koi pond setting, but I don't understand the value of this particular idea at all. In a normal room, when is it advantageous to put a toilet in the ...

The quick, smart solution is to replace the doors. Most of these systems have door choices. And you are in great luck if these wardrobes are Ikea and you have one nearby. That will make it relati...

The Barney's Co-op in LA has a nifty frameless mirror in the clothing department which is essentially a thick pane of mirror mounted over dark wood or black steel. It has no frame around the edges....

I love minimalism but I find this presentation ridiculously sterile and cliched. They might as well have digitally generated the whole thing and left it at that.

I have some good fakes that I blend in with the real to fill out an arrangement on the cheap. Fakes definitely have their place but you have to be committed to pulling off the illusion. You can't...

You can accomplish this look and still have a headboard. This isn't an either/or. If you look at the euro pillows, they rise almost 12 inches from the top of the mattress so a headboard 12-13 inc...

This strikes me as one designer's desperate bid for attention. Unfortunately, this is more kitsch than clever.

I often wonder what becomes of the inhabitants after they are left to live in a renovation slapped together in 5 days. Just because it looks suitable for five minutes of television viewing doesn't...

I started transitioning away from paper towels in 2003. I always have a roll handy, but a roll lasts me 3 weeks now when it used to last me less than a week. I will not ever be getting rid of the...

Let me clarify, marware. $2 billion dollars were spent on candles last year and women accounted for 94% of those purchases. Most men don't purchase them. So while men can appreciate quality, the...

absolutmarie makes a good point. Airlines, in their desperate effort to shake every last penny from your pocket continue to lower and lower the allowable weight limit on baggage that is not subjec...

Is it just me or is this bold color trend becoming increasingly infantile. It looks like the color inspiration here was found in a pack of 8 basic Crayolas.

Jennah - Why not just use some roller blinds from Ikea to create a soft wall in the bedroom? Or use curtain track from someplace like KonnectInternational.com and create a curtain wall to divide t...

If you have the option of using a decorator and "just want it done" then you should go with the decorator. That's why people hire them: to just get it done, and done nicely. Committing to creatin...

Wow - if there had been comment boards in the 50's, I am quite certain that those comments would have sounded a lot like these comments. People forget that among the general population, there was ...

I use a sideboard as a dresser and it makes the best dresser ever because it has cabinets as well as drawers. No one has ever asked me why I use a sideboard because it fits seamlessly with the res...

You aren't missing anything: that space was never seriously meant to be used. It was simply sales bait/visual trickery designed to lure prospective tenants. In fact, it might have been designed t...

You forgot the most important rule: don't move every 12 months. I think a lot of people jump into apartments with the same reckless abandon they enter into some personal relationships. Take the t...

Wow. I want.

home body - I guess it depends on whether you have enough counter space to indulge having everything out and at your fingertips while at the same time still having enough counter space to use for t...
