I love bare windows because I love light, so I keep my blinds open during the day. I don't care if people can see me sitting at my dining room table! Privacy is only necessary in the bedroom or ...
I loved the bathroom-in-the-kitchen apartments -- haven't seen one since living in the East Village in the 80's!
But at least kitchens have fans, and are set up for moisture. This look...
I notice that everyone who shops at Ikea alone says they don't mind it -- and that all the couples say they quarrel.

I'm amused by this: while I'm happy to buy Midwinter or Mikasa Duplex sets online, I can find metal serving trays at the local Value Village.
The fun part is the hunt.

Unfortunately, you do have to kill them. Cats are the best solution -- even if they don't mouse very well, the smell of a predator keeps the mice at ...

I think my big ol' lazy boy would use this as a place to sleep.
I just spent the summer away from my fuzzums (yes, revolting, I know) and while I miss him and I'll be delighted to get him back this weekend, I'm actually enjoying NOT having cat hair and kitty ra...
The windows. My god, I want the windows...
I have a similar space in Canada -- a two level apartment on the upper floor and attic of an old house -- but the windows are minute by compa...
Yep: there's always a pass-through that takes you directly from the entry to the cashiers, the exit and the 'as-is' section, without having to go in the out door. Then you can shop backwards from t...
Make a box. I did the same thing you did - threw out the cardboard crate my paintings were shipped in.
Wrap it, so it won't scratch. Then bubble wrap it. Then put it in a box that's a...
I really like this presentation. The problem, usually, is finding good spaces to hang art, not finding art to hang!
I agree with Susmita: student art is good. Cheap little thrifts are...
Renting or sharing a dog is problematic. But other versions of this can be very good. Most shelters have dog-walking programs: the dogs get a fun outing, people interaction and socialization (with ...
I'm MASSIVELY frustrated: I still can't order one, and I don't get them delivered because I live in a town without one.
The Ikea.ca website says "Visit back on Aug 1 2008 to order!"
