I found a vintage curtain panel in a really great print... unfortunately, it was only the ONE panel. I loved the pattern so much, I turned it into 3 throw pillows!
I had one of these. It held up fairly well while indoors, with the exception of table legs poking holes in it a little bit. But I'd advise against putting it outside. It started to shed all over th...
I don't know if I'll ever dye anything in the washing machine again... seems like a really good idea, and I got decent results, but not quite perfect enough! Followed all the directions exactly, bu...
We don't personally have an alarm system, but my apartment building is very secure! Cameras in the garage and lobby, alarm system, and access only via a fob. Our apartment door just has a deadbolt,...
I'm just glad you're done with all those "best of" posts!! I mean, most of us have been reading this site all year - that was totally unnecessary! Booooooooring. I stopped visiting your site in Dec...
What about the neighbor's out-of-control KIDS? I guess that could be under "person he lives with"? Anyway, they ride bikes and play soccer in the central courtyard of our building - screaming, horn...
I've been without a land line for the past 5 years and saw no need for one at any point during that time. The only (rare) complication was when I was trying to set up my cable tv service and it kep...
They forgot Odell Lake! That's the other game I remember playing in elementary school. You were a fish and had to avoid being eaten. I'm not really sure what I learned from that, though?
Bad windows. My first apartment ever had really old, single-pane windows and I REALLY paid for it that winter!! I signed the lease in the spring, so heating bills were the last thing on my mind.
I used to live in an apartment with TONS of wood paneling and a brick fireplace (in the middle of the city... go figure), so it was always known as "the log cabin." None of my other houses/apartmen...
If it was up to me, I would have turned the heat on days ago!! But my apartment building has central heat (so we just pay for electricity to run the blowers) and it's still set on air-conditioning!...
P.S. I previously lived on a very noisy street next to a bar, with trucks backing up at 6am every day (beeping noises) and drunks yelling at 3am and it drove me crazy!! I had to sleep with earplugs...
I've lived directly next to a train (like you could jump out my window and land on it) for the past year, and honestly, it's not that bad at all! I used to laugh at people who lived by trains and w...
A sheepskin rug will always give me a weirdly sentimental feeling... when I was a baby, my parents lined my stroller with one. So it just reminds me of that! I'm not sure how I feel about it for ho...
I live in Pennsylvania now, where no alcohol is allowed to be sold in supermarkets (beer distributors and liquor stores only!) and it's a huge pain. I really miss being able to do all my shopping i...

Using a grill (of any kind) on a balcony or rooftop is illegal in most cities. But I think most people do it anyway...

I looove the look of these, but hopefully they're well-insulated! You have neighbors on every single side! Doesn't seem too practical privacy-wise.

Who is the painting in the first image by? The golden one with the farmer with his arm around a woman? I love it.

Oh wow, that tile looks like a nightmare to clean!
Sorry, nothing I like about this one! There's no way I could sleep in a room like that...
