Thanks Susie! I ended up taking the loft/crate down/out, and couldn't be happier. I left the TV and the machine for now, and it feels fine at the moment, but we'll see - I'm still open to getting ...
Kyle, that's actually pretty cool. It makes me wish I'd told more people about it (I'm Jessica's 'Mostly Neutrals'). I told my parents but I wouldn't even let them vote. Not that they could have...
I ripped out the sad vinyl flooring one day without much of a plan. I ended up just painting the subfloor, which looks alright, until I can save up enough for some marmoleum or cork. I happen to ...
@luftskibet - thanks :) As for the slobbering dog and water all over the floor, I guess the whole thing would be moot if I just designated clean "indoor shoes" and dirty "outdoor shoes."
margrietta - I have no such closets or out of the way places available, and I use a litter tracking mat as well, but it's ineffective. I sweep constantly, but frankly, it gets tiresome and I'd jus...
Why shoes in the house? Cat litter. As soon as I find a way to keep cat litter in the box without vacuuming three times a day, I'll be happy to ditch the shoes at the door. Also, my dog cannot dr...
A general and not-at-all hypothetical question: is it worth sacrificing functionality in a room in favor of peace of mind?
I'm thinking of dismantling the intricate loft bed/storage ...
I can't believe I never thought to just fold it over to take the ribs out. All these years I've been slicing on both sides and cutting it out from the top.
Mail and dog accoutrements. Vintage wire displays with hooks from ebay, etsy, or flea markets are great for hanging keys, leashes, and bags, like this one:
I used to keep wire baskets of fresh fruit out, but it took up too much valuable space. I bought hanging baskets at a flea market instead to free up counter space, and they seem to stay fresher lo...
Oh, my. This is stunning. I love how carefully curated everything is without looking fake or staged, and how the colors all create a very calming, harmonious palette.
I think dolls are pretty creepy new or old. I used to work in a toy store and because I'm a girl they made me work in the doll department because "nobody wants to buy trains from a girl."
Thank you :) @talldrink - oops, perhaps I should have phrased it better! My grandmother's house was one of my inspirations for using color. It mixes solids, patterns, bright colors, neutrals, and...

I want one too.
I've used a lot of zero-VOC wall paints, but does anyone know of an environmentally responsible paint that's suitable for floors?

Replace the showerhead! and upgrade doorknobs and switchplate covers. Rental doorknobs are often cheap, and they're pretty easy to replace.
Wow, two people, two cats, in 280 square feet?! Simply amazing, beautiful and ... I love your ceiling and kitchen.

Wow, these are amazing. That old school loft is pretty much my favorite house tour ever.
