turquoise! If only to set off that red cabinet.

These are the cable staples you would need to secure the cable to the baseboard.

I like that couch, the bed, and the turquoise bookshelf and chair. Since you can't paint, I would bring in color by stapling fabric to frames made out of those canvas stretcher bars (sold very chea...

Make a purse out of it! http://www.elementalthreads.com/ I actually wrote about options for old t-shirts last month here:

Blame the kids. That's what they're for. Seriously, though. Could you sit down and have a conversation about how you'd rather they spend the money on making charitable donations to fig...

I love this. If it is too large and/or expensive to frame, you could just "frame" the map with wood trim and a nail gun.

The best part of an ice cream cone is eating that last bit of melted ice cream with the cone! The others are great, but I can't endorse #2.

I agree that you don't always need a coffee table, but #4 just looks awkward with the rest of the furniture arranged around the rug.
