A clever friend used a full length mirror in her bathroom but hung it horizontally to stretch almost the full wall (your bathroom may require 2 to get this effect) and it gives the allusion of a lo...

Guess I'm just a caveman.

Although I like it as is, my first idea was to paint in the exact same color as the wall - give it some humor. Or, not completely paint it (pretty tricky since it is so elaborate) but use the flat ...

Maybe just take it as a given you will have to use an in-window a/c but install at the top of the window which somehow just reads less cluttered. Choose curtains or pull down shades that can cover ...

I like the suggestion to paint the bottom ones white to go with the stove and fridge. Then personally for the top, I'd go deep red, but any rich color would work. Get some new cabinet pulls and pat...

Nature's Miracle all the way. My cat would try to "cover up" old stains - scratching at the surrounding area - but if I used this stuff on them even her fine feline nose couldn't smell the old stai...

hot-rod flames up the wall ;)

It's hard to guess how much space you actually have for a table, but in a similarly sized apt that is very narrow, we've used a small (29") round table with a pedestal base that have the feet flush...

These are super awesome and I went to the website to check them out more and discovered that the winning gift certificate will cover two stairs!

This is soooo going to date me, but when I first got interested in interior design and furniture (as a kid), I thought the Milan-based group Memphis was so rad (have to use the proper decade's term...

I put some fake plants in narrow and thin windowsill planters outside our alleyway-view windows. Great if you don't have a green thumb or a deep wallet. True gardeners will be offended...

Beyond curtains/coverings, you could put up this removable semi-transparent window cover: http://www.improvementscatalog.com/...

you could make fabric panels to put over the slatted areas (stretched like you would a painting) and attach to the doors, or buy some of that aluminum perforated sheeting they sell for radiator cov...

PBS Frontline did a very informative show on Walmart - link below. Yes, I too have a very tight budget, but getting things super cheap (you know the internal thought: "how do they even make ...

I'm leaning toward something that matches the wood floor in the dining room to pull the two rooms together. Could range from a sienna/orange fabric to a leather that fits. Though considering you ha...

Instead of painting the whole loft bed, it might be interesting and easier to paint or even paper just the underside between the cross beams. Would be really easy if you can remove that piece of th...

What a great space - nicely decorated while being realistic and liveable. Definitely one of the best so far. The only thing I would personally do to it is build a little wall extension where the co...

WD-40 can work wonders for removing sticker gunk.

My cat (rip) was an avid flower eater, I think she liked the smell actually. She never once bothered my little rubber tree but always tried to get at the spider plant (which apparently is one of th...
