It's TRUE! I failed to make the bed for the before shot - I wanted to sway your opinions! (I kid, it was the only picture I could find.) Of course the bed is from Ikea - chosen by my son, who...

I guessed it! That's a great quote -

I asked the same question recently, about one of our bedrooms which is paneled the same way...I painted. Actually, I primed first (and if my paneling was in better shape I would have had to s...

My kitchen sponge sits on a large flat rock, on the counter next to the sink - because I'm all zen like that.

Green plastic army men. Straight pins (matching the stainless appliances). Cloves. Legos.

I can lean toward anal-retentive clean freak and that backsplash would make me CRAZY. I'm sorry I have stainless appliances.

I'm not a bath person - and I'd have to scrub the tub to use it as it's in my kid's bathroom. So, it's partly that and partly the soaking in dirty water thing. I would not be happy in a hot tub, wo...
