I know it can be hard to relate to people with children, light sleepers like myself, older neighbors or those of us who really need 7-8 hours of sleep to function (at all). If my neighbors would wa...
I agree with a couple of the other posts. Clean it and hang it as is and see how you like it. There should also be some other eclectic touches in the room for it to make sense. Personally, I wouldn...
If you like the look, check out vintage Chambers stoves. They came in about five colors I think. I have a yellow one from the fifties. They were advertised for their energy efficiency because they'...
Having had a black and white vinyl tile floor in a kitchen, I wouldn't recommend it. It only looked for about 20 minutes after cleaning, what didn't show on the black, did on the white and vise ver...
Something to consider: your climate. Darker colors absorb heat, lighter colors reflect it. The orientation of your house affects the color also. The color you pick will look different on the north ...
The only person we can change is ourselves. Though you can tell your wife how her behavior makes you feel, you can't change her behavior only she can do that. You, on the other hand, do have the po...
I fight the ant problem every spring. I pour water in the tray I use for the dog's food and water dishes. And, I'm using popcorn salt across their entry point under the kitchen door. This seems to...

Nailing from the back side will hide the brads. I have at least this many spices and am clumsy so I don't think this rack would work for me. I'd also be worried about light exposure since I mostly ...
There is no need to transfer lipstick a jar. Just use a lip brush to get and apply the product after it can no longer be applied directly from the tube.
Personally, I live somewhere between the perfect clean aesthetic and everyday reality. I appreciate "rumpled" the way I can appreciate skillful watercolor paintings or fashionable bedhead hair styl...
I have to agree with some of the posts I've read re: practicality but I love the results. I particularly covet your bathroom. Very tasty, though at my age, probably not a viable option. Enjoy and t...

I wish I'd seen this seven years ago when I got rid of all the mini-blinds in the little house I bought.
This design will require constant upkeep. Oak trees drop things year-round.

I wish art lovers like the Vogels weren't so rare. Most artists make tremendous sacrifices to be creative.

I would have appreciated seeing more of his living space. Closeups of books may tell me about the him but not his apartment.
