I've been down this road and you need to just stop now. Trying to redecorate around something you hate is a huge time & money suck. You'll be left with placeholder stuff you don't really love in a ...

I have that bamboo bathmat and it's not the greatest. It's held together by a plastic grid/webbing that's much more noticeable than I'd like. Plus, that plastic quickly took on an unpleasant dingy ...

Yeah, I remember too. Bobby Berk equals annoying spammer to me.

The episode with the food hoarder scarred me for life. When the cleanup guy is using a shovel to scoop up the rotting pumpkin off her living room floor and she stops him to pick seeds out of that d...

Yeah, the refigerator makes your bread go stale faster. I bake all of our bread (the 5-minute a day deal, so incredibly easy!). So for sandwich loaves, as soon as it's cool it gets sli...

It's Double Indemnity.

This movie made me angry. Kate Winslet leaves her dog in the care of some non-petsitter stranger as part of the house swap, which was irksome enough. But then Cameron Diaz decides she wants to leav...

There are a number of places that sell this same colored burlap, although not every place that carries it carries every color, and prices vary wildly. Search by the specific color name you want to ...

Definitely change the faucet, it's cheap and easy. Switching out that $10 faceted plastic-knobbed piece of crap for a $30 faucet will improve your quality of life like you can't believe. Same thing...

For me, it's not professional vs. amateur that bugs, it's that they've already won a previous AT contest. Shouldn't it be in the AT rules that once you win or place, you're done with all future con...

Schools don't use chalkboards anymore? What do they use instead?

I love that IKEA rug that stylefyles linked to, either color would be great in your room.

It looks like it's smiling! In the same vein as decorative paper/fabric on the glass doors and mirror, you could try a vinyl decal or a patterned privacy film. Or cut your own design ...

I can't believe that Jason has lasted this long. Everything he's done in every single challenge has been just awful. Really really awful. And functionable?! The first time he said it I was hoping h...

That dog is awesome! Hilarious photo.

I used to work at IKEA in the design dept long ago. We had 5 showroom designers ? plus the manager who also focused on showroom. I believe they had guidelines for the rooms: a room in X style using...

Overstock has some decent options too. And I'd recommend Lowes for hardware. Their curtain rings especially are so much cheaper than pretty much anywhere else.

I don't get it?? The video is not the same apt -- sloped wood walls, carpet, round turret room.

If you're adding orange chairs, then the yellow needs to go. And blue and orange is a much better combo than blue and yellow (which always looks like an IKEA to me). A light warm grey on the walls ...

I third the Gallery Glass paint. I used it on the front door window of my last rental and it looked really awesome. The "lead" strips and the paint both have dimension so it looks real. And you can...
