Hers. I don't like the red, I don't like the leather and I don't like the style. It's "your" place (meaning yours and your boyfriend), not the MIL so I'd choose what looks best in there. Also, if...

Love these stairs! What an exciting design! For me, it's like seeing a gorgeous pair of 5 inch high heels-who cares if you can walk in them, they are just beautiful. Ditto for the stairs. They ar...

I think the problem is that while this area might be functional, everything is a totally different style. It doesn't look or feel good. A few different ideas: 1) Get a th...

I'd keep the brick. I don't think it looks bad but I do agree the house could use some sprucing up. I always believe that you should live in a house one year before doing major renovation.

Go to a custom lamp shop in your area and bring in your lamp. Then you can try on different shades on your lamp and they can make a shade that will be perfect for your lamp. They can also make reco...

The column looks out of place, mainly because it's different in style from the rest of the place. I hope I can describe this solution well enough. So here goes: On the en...

I just love the last photo. The paint color is divine too! I'd love to know what that color is!

I'd place the sofa on the short wall with a round coffee table in front of it and two pictures above it. (I am not having you use the breakfast bar for eating. Directly across from the sofa, I'd ha...

O.K. Here's a few ideas... Let's start with the colors. Currently, I like everything you have in the room so we'll keep them. Your colors for the room are aqua, white, brown and orang...

One of the biggest problems is a lack of storage and as a result, the room looks cluttered. You mentioned a new mirror-is this a larger medicine cabinet with storage or just a mirror? Since you a...

Oh, I just LOVE the first kitchen! Very glam indeed. This kitchen reminds me of a beautiful penthouse that appeared years ago in a magazine; the man, an attorney, had the penthouse done in a very d...

These are so cute! I think I like my cat lying next to me though. There is something about him curling up on my bed or on my furniture. I have a very small cat (under 10 pound Munchkin breed) so ...

Oh, I just lost my comment!!!!!!!!!! O.K. here's what I'd do. I'd keep the wall. If you are not sure, live with it for a year before you do anything. Removing a wall will cost you, p...

I just love this kitchen! The navy blue looks so fresh with the white. I think the mirror, the chair and pillow and the prints on the wall all make it look a little less like a kitchen. The color l...

I absolutely love it! They did a great job. Thank you for listing the items; I am not a fan of MCM however I am a fan of good design, regardless of the style. And this place looks gre...

As a general rule, I don't lilke things sitting out regardless of whether or not they are in a container or not; just seems like it would get dusty. I feel the same way when I see dishes on open s...

I forgot two things: Paint the baskets black and remove the stuff from the top of the bookcases.

Forgot two things: 1) Paint the baskets black to help unify the room. 2) Remove all of the papers/files from the tops of all of the bookcases and shelves in the room.

My comment was just lost! O.K. let's unify the room with color. If you are committed to the wall and sofa color, then we'll proceed from there. Keeping it simple, your colors are gree...
