Love thrift/antique stores! Most recently, I found all of my dishes at several stores in Monroe, LA's, Antique Alley (http://tri-stateantiques.com/blueheaven.html). I've picked up libr...

I'd definitely check out the neighbors before painting. There are a number of beige exteriors with red doors and shutters combinations in my neighborhood that makes me feel like no one else does, t...

I'm pretty sure that many of the posters who have said that you shouldn't throw out/give away children's toys have never been parents and have no idea how much stuff these small people accumulate, ...

Hunter, Great space! I'm a little jealous that I bought my house (in Baton Rouge as well) before you and it doesn't look nearly as good. I also spotted your office in this month'...

I'd love to see a buttery-yellow or a light gray on the walls. Replace the light fixture with some light and airy. A new stair runner in a great pop of color or take inspiration from that recent po...

Mine live in my guest room dresser.

From a hotel surplus store in Atlanta, I picked up an old in room bar that used to be in a Ritz. For $99, I got a gorgeous Drexel Heritage piece with a white marble top, along with a really, really...

Awesome place. An unassuming exterior that leads to beauty. Was the wood dining room wall already there or did you add it?

I used Behr's Light French Gray in my living room and love it. It veers very light blue in bright light and is a lovely light gray at night. Both tones look good with my teal and orange accessories...

Quinnley, also try Glidden's Dolphin Grey. I just painted my bedroom with it and love the purple undertones. They show up well in daylight, but at night the walls are definitely grey. They also hav...

Cleaning the bathroom is always the last (and usually ignored) thing on my cleaning list. I just hate to do it. After years, I finally (mostly) trained myself to fold my laundry as soo...

I tried using painter's tape to add some interest to a plain white dresser and the paint bled under the tape... Any ideas for stopping this?

Locked! I too replaced my back door lock with an electronic lock. It gives me the freedom of not needing keys if I go for a run or out for the night and don't want to carry a bag. I can also give f...

Ask if there will be any down time for the rental before your lease begins. If the place will be empty, ask if you can have access early to begin moving things in before you're actually living ther...

I've seen these in gift shops and boutiques for years -- but they do look neat. My favorite spoon rest, though, is my white ceramic butterfly that my mom made in college.

I'm somewhere between simple and historic -- love retro (or retro-looking) appliances and cabinets, but love the calming aspect of a clean-lined kitchen with pops of color.

Best part of Epiphany is the start of Mardi Gras season -- which can only mean bright purple, green and gold decorations (the white trash girl inside me loves it) and king cake! Gotta love living i...

Cool! So very un-Hollywood. I love it.

Gorgeous! You did a great job! AT, thanks for featuring a house that isn't completely modern or mid-century modern!

Wow -- that bathroom! I love that they kept the red counter. It's just the right amount of "woah."
