I painted my bedroom with Behr's 'Lagoon' partly because of the name. Usually I'll have it narrowed down to four or so close colours, and the name helps me hammer in the nail. We paint...

Ginger, my Sheltie who passed away in April, would turn up in the strangest places during thunderstorms. Once she wedged herself between the toilet and the wall. Another time we spent an hour calli...

Nope. My bedroom has dark turquoise walls with white furniture, black and white patterned bedding, and a few red accents. My bathroom is mint green with chocolate brown accessories, and a bright or...

Cable TV, definitely. Most television I want to watch, I can catch online. Following that? Scale back the cell phone extras. I don't currently have a landline, anyway. I'd get rid of the internet i...

I hate air conditioning, though others in my household love it. It gives me a migrane if I have to sleep in a room with an air conditioner, though I'm all right during the day. I am an...

My bedroom is painted a nice dark turquoise. It's the darkest colour I've ever painted, and I love it to death. During the day with the window light it looks classy, at night when it's soft lamps l...

mribaro: Three words. Lush Shampoo Bars.

You can make an extremely effective de-skunking formula out of peroxide, baking soda and Dawn dishwashing soap.

I'm in love with Lush 'Porridge' soap, especially during the winter months when I REALLY need to oatmeal for my itchy, dry skin. Plus it smells like cookies.

My favourite bathroom thing is the locking medicine cabinet I bought at Ikea. Usually I leave it unlocked - but if my nosy grandma, who likes to rifle through my prescriptions, is coming over? I lo...

Actually, using a squat toilet actually helps prevent intestinal/rectal troubles - that includes hemorrhoids. Keeps your legs strong, too. It's even right on Wikipedia.

My mom's insisted on having the rug in front of the sink for as long as I can remember, but it's honestly a huge annoyance. The garbage can slides out from under the sink, and things often wind up ...

I think this is a cool idea, but might be even more interesting if they were painted.

I've never had a problem sharing a bathroom, but then, I come from a pretty huge family. I can remember spending summers at the cottage and having ten people sharing one tiny bathroom for weeks.

My brother's bedroom was lime green (back when he still lived with my parents, when he was about sixteen - it's since been painted and turned into the office), and I have to say, it was pretty bada...

When my grandfather passed away, I inherited their bedroom furniture, which my grandmother found in a thrift store sometime in the 70's and painted Pepto Bismol pink... over uggo olive green.

I have a row of those in my studio beside my desk for various art supplies, and also a row in the bathroom that hold my toothbrushes, makeup brushes, eyeliner, mascara, and hairbrush. ...

That makes me feel queasy. Maybe if it was no higher up than like a bunk bed, but on a second floor? Gives me the willies.

WANT.

I instantly recognized the rack in the top photo - we have a stack of them that we use as displays at work. I would never have thought of them in that context, but it looks pretty good.
