I think new cabinet hardware would definitely help a lot to update those cabinets. And remove the railing on top of the cabinets, or perhaps get some thin wood/flat trim (painted whatever you deci...

I don't like them. I kind of almost like the one in the forth picture, but I think it's more the new medallian that I like.

This weekend I'd like to read while sitting in the extra chair in our living room. I like the chair, but never sit in it because it doesn't face the tv. While my husband is away for the weekend, ...

At the moment, our "guest room" is a futon mattress and/or an airmattress (guests have the choice - I think air mattress on top of futon mattress is the best) set up in the office in the middle of ...

I think that's a wonderful idea! Not only will it be one less thing they have to deal with, but a clean environment is very important when your immune system is lowered. The one thing...

btoddster - I agree, it would be awesome in that setting! But not anywhere else.

I've been wanting to improve our newlywed apartment and have been focusing on decorating a bit more. But now due to finding that we have a mouse friend (due to a box of potato buds - note, never o...

I recently twisted some clear rope lights (which I bought for my first dorm, oh, about 6 years ago) along the pole at the bottom of our metal headboard. The glow they give it very nice. The bed t...

I thought the first one was familiar, but I couldn't place it. I've never even seen the other movies.

I'm not big on words or letters to decorate, but yesterday I found a black wooden cut out saying "Relax". It was cheap, and I've really been having a hard time relaxing and being calm lately. I p...

I'm thinking of painting and accent wall in my living room, and am thinking about looking for something kind of in the middle of grasshopper and pear green.

I didn't notice the window before, but I agree curtains would be great. Nothing softens rental vertical blinds better than curtains over the top. I've done that several times in my apartments.

I like it. A little more Ikea than most people would probably like, but I think it comes off quite well. I love the accent wall, it makes me reconsider doing one behind my own couch. ...

I think you had some issues with the slipcover idea...

I like the blue, but I LOVE the wall art! Is that something you made or bought? (I also have the same tv stand. I love when I see it in cool looking apartments, it makes me feel bett...

I saw this a while ago on another site, and quite a few people mentioned that those chair bases aren't intended for outdoor use and will probably rust through. Still, a very cool idea ...

Wow, I would not think I'd enjoy a "faux fireplace", but I love it!

I find it interesting that people are comparing Ikea to Gap... I remember in middle school how a Gap sweatshirt was one of the ultimate status symbols for a while.

Awww, poor captain slow... (Never seen Toy Stories, but love Top Gear)

From a technical standpoint, it would be hard to bring your own linens if you were on vacation in Europe. Especially since they charge to even check a bag these days.
