I use my cats as an alarm system. They aren't a deterrent (big chickens), but they are good about letting me know if someone is around. They woke me up when there was someone outside the door onc...

I have 3 cats. I always felt any mouse coming into that environment would have to be suicidal, but in my last apartment we had at least 4 mouse "episodes". One cat wasn't around at the time, one ...

I have to travel about 3 hours each way to go to Ikea (and usually to Craigslist any Ikea stuff also), but I like the look. I don't LIKE antiques and vintage. I like a clean, modern look and Ikea...

I know a couple like this (although the genders are reversed, it's the husband that hoards - everything, old cardboard boxes, broken blinds, etc...). When they were moving recently, she decided sh...

I just love the headboard tiles!

The apartment I'm moving out of was the first place that allowed me to paint (and I made up for it by painting EVERY room!). I had planned to paint it back to white when I left, but he said to hol...

dave.darling - we all have our little hobbies or whatever that makes us happy and for some of us that includes buying dvds. Now I can't speak for Johan, but I know I rarely pay "full price" for a ...

I love the day of the week boards! I may have to steal that idea.

like everyone else, I love the fireplace headboard. I've got a closed up fireplace eyesore in my place and I wish it was in a location I could put my bed now!

I love all the fluid styles and art here. And that counter top/table thing in the 2nd picture... did you make that? The pattern on top is great.

I love the DIY light sculpture thing by the stairs!

the fridge is pretty awesome!

Like many others, I love the bedroom area. How was that done - are there support beams or something running under the non-storage section? I love the texture of this whole place!

I love the shape of that tall mirror next to the bed - where did you find that? Place looks great!

from Nolann: For the black thumbed, just try buying really cheap potted plants and replace them when they die. That's what I do! I was killing fresh flowers like there's no tomorrow a...

I love the pale green on the walls in the first pic, makes it look so serene.

I adore this place! Like everyone else, I want to know more about the shoe box storage/art. That's great! The tv wall is wonderful too - was that freehand or a decal? I am in awe ...

I think what we can see is great, and hope that if you don't make it to the finals you will re-enter next year when we can see the whole place.

I love this! Wonderful open space with bold colors that work with the 'cool' feel of the place.

I think this looks massively cool.
