Too dark! I agree, it's sucking the light out of the room. How about a nice sunflower or marigold color? Caramel? something warm and rich. As above... just.don't.touch...

My boyfriend leaves the pantry door open. All the time... as if that is the position it is supposed to be in!! I had a roommate who just left piles everywhere. I leave piles too - bu...

I don't understand... doesn't the dye transfer to the floor? Whenever I have dyed clothing, it bled in every wash... I can't imagine a garden hose would rinse it out well enough. I li...

That sideboard/ buffet is STUNNING! Someone - go get it!!

Boo and hiss on the Chicago rule. Poor, poor, pitiful me. I've been trying to save up for a sofa for three years now. But with 14 months of unemployment... and now the job I finally ...

I can't find back the commenter who said... "if people are smoking outside - close your windows." Okay - so what I am supposed to do, sit by my windows to watch for people who might li...

Love it. Anyone know who makes/sells the rolling corkboard - blackboard? CC

Oh... as for the hours people keep... I'm thinking about my area... where the majority of us don't have air conditioning (Denver - no humidity) and so we HAVE to sleep with the windows open ...

I agree wholeheartedly with "take it inside after 10:00pm." Personally, for my own gatherings - I take inside after dark. You just don't know what sort of hours ALL your neighbors keep.

Paint the house a warm grey. Take the shutters off. Shutters that are not proportioned to the window they would 'cover' are ridiculous! Build a nice brick or flagstone walkway...

Nice plan. I've thought of it myself but none of my friends share my style.

I'm on the board of my HOA for a 22 unit building. One of the unit owners discovered bed bugs - informed the board - and brought in an exterminator. We notified all of the neighbors i...

I don't have advice for color selection... but I do think dark cabs on the bottom, lighter on top would provide visual interest. Rather, I am here to convince you to take the miniblind...

I had a group of co-workers over for game night - a couple of people had moved here (Denver) from L.A. where smaller apts are the norm. In the Denver market, my place is teeny tiny - where in L.A...

Audrey, So glad your hubby is back! That does make for an interesting/unusual adjustment period!! Please thank him for his service! CC

I guessed Anderson Cooper the second I read the question!!

I've lived in a number of buildings with that old, original glass... and have always loved the light play on the walls and floor. My current place, an apartment building built in 1949 ...

Wow. /\ bunch of fuddy duddies. You're like the guy I dated in my 20s who hated hammocks. What sort of freak hates cuddling in a hammock?! Looks great to me. for sleep or whatever.

I like it. It would be a nice way to display kids artwork from school without having everything plastered on the fridge.

I call it my 'Monica Closet' - after a friend who mistook me for a meticulous neatfreak stumbled upon my crazy packed closet (the only closet in the entire apartment) and earnestly told me t...
