I was looking at the Benjamin Moore site and these are the range of colors I was thinking: Juniper, Tropical Turquoise, Jade Garden, or Ming Jade. Of course, with computer monitors, I'm sure colors...

Why oh why does my husband dislike pumpkin? I'd make the rolls, but then I'll have to eat them all!

I just did a very dark brown in my small, 8x9 foot dining room, and it DEFINITELY made it feel bigger. Amazing really - and so funny how many people claimed it would make it feel smaller. I don't t...

With that beautiful red screen, I would go with a green. Something vibrant and rich - even if the overall value is technically dark, the brilliance of the color pop will make it feel brighter - esp...

I like color and I like it when each room has its own personality. Looking at the photos, I thought maybe you should pick a color that matches the carpet of the stairs (assuming it is staying.) It ...

If you're thinking of having something built, this drop-leaf table is ingenious for a small space. From a 10-inch footprint, it can open up to 9-feet (and many variations in between) for those time...

In about a year you're going to want to be baby proofing, so it seems like getting doors for the books would be a good idea for the long term. Though, I wonder if you'd want to replace the glass wi...

Doing what we can, when we can. Sometimes it's a "want" (paint a room) and sometimes it's a "need" (tackle gutters because basement is flooding.) We moved in March and are not as far along as I tho...

I'm fine with adding actual seat cushions to hard chairs, but sitting on a throw pillow is never comfortable.

I bet the Pandora website could be pretty useful for this...

And what to do with the 8-10 clocks the day after...? I'm not a big fan of seasonal decorations even when they are clever. Unless they are edible, they just seem so wasteful. (Yes, me: bah-humbug!)

loosen, not loosed...

White wine helps remove red wine from a carpet - a good reason to have both on hand at parties! And back to the sweat mis-reading, I discovered that soaking a t-shirt with pit stains ...

@luna brings up a valid idea I think - is the built in closet able to have the doors removed and used for space? If so, I too would consider putting just the bed in that room (again probably have t...

I would think that painting it with several coats of an OIL-based polyurethane would seal everything in and keep paint from flaking off in the future. I would consider getting new wheels though - w...

Stainless steel countertops suck. There's just no way around it. You're constantly wiping them down, and then wiping them down again to try to make your cleaning streaks go away. For t...

The problem with so many green technologies is they cost more upfront than they will save the purchaser - even over the long haul - so it is hard for most people to be able to afford them. This yea...

I would put the bed up near the front door (head on the outside wall) and create a "room" for it with curtains or ikea panels - with access along the wall against the kitchen. I would remove the do...

A habit learned from life in a big city - the first thing I do when I come home is go to the kitchen sink and wash my hands.

Putting art in a bathroom can destroy works on paper or canvas because of the frequent, drastic changes in heat and humidity. So if you're inclined to put art, don't put up originals or anything ex...
