I love how the house tells you something about the person that lives there. Too many houses have technically good decor, but it lacks personality. Congrats Kathleen and Chet- glad to see someone ...

I really like the way that the gauzy curtains and new, lighter-color storage bins lighten the effect from the wood floors and exposed brick. The combination is great! ~Amanda ...

I love the colors in your house! So cheerful but not headache-inducing in its brightness. And that lamp in your living room is gorgeous. I understand wanting your favorite room to be...

I love the fact that these are real kitchens, instead of the stylized ones in magazines that look like you couldn't possibly cook in them. These kitchens look like I could actually store stuff and...

Hey- maybe this is facetious and all, but I know a lot of people without dishwashers who would love this sort of thing. What I really want is for this to translate into cutlery, so I don't have to...

I'm kind of with magnaverde in that a lot of the advice seems to contradict. I think the point is that you really have to look at your own space to figure out what will work. A small room with lo...

PS: is it bad that I actually like the $15 Fado better than the more expensive lamps? ~Amanda onehappypanda.blogspot.com

Why do they not sell the Fado on the website? That makes me unhappy, as I really like the lamp and the nearest Ikea is at least 3 hours away. Poop. ~Amanda onehappypanda.blogsp...

firecracker- does anyone honestly believe that the "such and such flower is bad luck" things are true? Tell your sister to get what she likes, I've never heard any anti-daffodil etiquette and I th...

Adorable- and I am so impressed at how much of it you have done yourself. Also,I love that it looks much more attainable than the average highly stylized magazine room. This has the style, but al...

I wash jeans when they're stretched out, dirty, or smell. And that is SO not every time I wear them. Most of the time I just wear jeans at the office or class anyway, so why should I go to the la...

lol MichaelD you are awesome. These tips look pretty cool too- laundry is an issue here since I have to go to the laundromat, so I try to save money by stretching out the life of my clean clothes....

This is probably one of my favorite apartment tours so far. I live in a very small space, so this really speaks to me. I love how they have utilized their space so well, without being too utilita...

Oh man I am afraid of heights so this picture terrifies me. But I have to admit it looks really awesome. :) ~Amanda http://onehappypa...

I am no paint expert but a friend of mine paired a similar eggplant color with dark brown in another room and I really liked the effect. I think it sort of depends on your furnishings and what sty...

This is pretty solid advice. I love my bathroom and it is my sanctuary- it would be perfect if my landlord hadn't inexplicably decided that white walls and white cabinets and white everything else...

I love this idea. I have a bunch of picture frames lying around that I could fill up with inspirational magazine clippings and display them. I'd been wanting to make an inspiration board but balk...

Oh geez- I JUST redid my closet and it looks totally inadequate compared to these photos. I feel my OCDness kicking in again... Love the plain white storage bins, I might have to try ...

Real Simple may be "common sense" but yet I still know people who use way too much shampoo, soap,etc. I like the magazine. And I like these tips, although I do most of them. And a landline is to...

Love it. My dish towel is so not cute- it's bright fugly pink. I got a whole pack of them for free from my grandma, and I'm too cheap and lazy to replace them. So this would be quite useful.
