Oh and I forgot to add that I was going from the teal to white.

I had my bathroom painted in Aura. The original color was a deep teal color that was in bad shape. It definitely took two coats of Aura to cover it up. One coat would not have sufficed.

The only place in my home where we don't use CFLs is the bathroom because we have those dressing room style lights, so we have 2 40-watt and 1 20-watt in a row, sadly. But we're moving next year, s...

I way, way prefer the before.

I don't get why this was posted and my really pretty, cute kitchen that I DIYed wasn't. Maybe I should be a family member of an AT writer, too. =/

I doubt my management company would do a lease less than a 12 month. I would need it to be an 8 month lease, as it were... but perhaps I can talk to them. I don't have a relationship with them at all.

I can see standing in line to get something valuable for free, but otherwise, come on people this is the FOURTH Ikea in the area, we all know what it's like!!!

Hi, this is A [Alicia] the question-asker in this case. Thanks for so many of you who replied. You've really set my mind at ease and I'm sure now that I can move as early as I need to so long as I ...

I'd be tempted to go inside and check my e-mail.

I wonder which is easier, taking the subway, walking to and taking the ferry, or taking the subway and then the shuttle?

SO EXCITED. In all, I bet the travel time from my place to Elizabeth via free shuttle from Port Authority (which I've never done) will equal travel time to the port and then the water taxi, but wat...

It's starting to get really hard to resist this thing... I have a gym membership and I haven't gone in months because it's really not that fun. I really do dislike video games, but if this w...

I haven't shopped at Hollister since I moved to Manhattan, and I'm afraid it will become like the 5th Ave Abercrombie, but hearing just now that that's what's going there... pretty cool.

I think ClaireW presented her argument in a polite, well thought out fashion, you don't have to jump on her back so harshly. In the case of this apartment, I think it's a great, and definitel...

What about painting the futon frame in addition to pillows and wall color? You could go really Moroccan and paint the frame a matching or deeper blue, they seem to paint wood funky colors there... ...

The bookcase is the Expedit from Ikea. It's just on top of the file drawers.

I agree with Joan in SB, I didn't even view 50% of the smallest coolest entries on time because I couldn't deal with the gallery. A non-gallery, but Smallest Coolest comment is can't you put the 5 ...

I'm not a fan of red, but you should totally paint the door a Lobster red or something like it. Also some wall shelves on the wall with the door would look nice, or some art. I really l...

Hey, it's Alicia, the original poster. I tried to get my boyfriend to better explain to me what he thinks it is in the AC and he can only describe it as "algea or moss looking. Well, I guess...

That's not up to code...
