if you want the job done nicely and need help choosing shower, fixtures etc, you should go with an interior designer who will in turn hire a good contractor (hopefully) to do the work. the designer...

i like it...the fact that the neighbors are annoyed, annoys me. there are plenty of ugly houses with ugly decor around. I would take this place being next door to me than many of the alternatives o...

a panel system could also work for your sun room, these can be mounted along the length of the wall and still allow plenty of light

I believe you can purchase custom rods up to 120" at smith and noble

why does this remind me of 80s chrome and black leather??

Have you looked in the clearance section of Room and Board, they have several beds...this one is only $599. Its not as modern as the one you posted but it still has clean lines and a simple frame

um, they've had to block off stairs in the NYC subway for this reason because there were tiny grates/holes in the risers of the stairs. I've seen guys standing at the railing, because it hasn't sol...

agreed. can't we 101 this entry a bit.

paint your walls...the taupe sofa with what look like taupe/ivory walls is blah. yellow would work (as will a ton of other colors, hopefully this won't turn into a crazy color post), must be the ri...

Unless you know where that beef came from or you are eating at a restaurant which only serves organic food, order it at least medium. Something nasty about rare burgers...especially if its from you...

What about putting a mirror on a "track" like a sliding door in front of the window. It would require moving one of the sconces and lowering the towel rack, this way, you can roll it to the side wh...

While you can't change the cabinetry nor the countertops, you can change the knobs/pulls. Along with color (like a celery/cucumber color or a light seafoam green) these could help to modernize it a...

one big gripe of my all-clad is the steamer insert.. because the holes are at the bottom and no along the sides, I feel the food nearer the bottom steams faster and unevenly. I find myself going ba...
