A thermostat needs air flow to function properly. This box does not allow air flow.

No shouting. Remember it's a bungalow not a McMansion.

Probably a garage sale. It looks worn.

leehou -- Why do you need to talk to someone in the dining room while in the living room? To me that seems strange that you'd even try. If you had guests, more than likely they will be in the same ...

Why would you recommend the jar when the warning says: WARNING: "Use of this product will expose you to lead and/or cadmium, chemicals known to the State of California to cause birth defects ...

Great work. If I didn't have so much hanging on the wall now I would consider the stripes at my own home! I just sent a couple of mid century chairs like these to get reupholstered. I can't wait...

Maybe one more row of the FLOR tiles would help. I don't like that someone sitting on the couch puts their feet on the floor and the carpet. It just seems a little undersized for the space.

I guess I'm missing the part that was "made over." Painting the walls and adding new wood floors is great but nothing inspirational.

I had the same problem for years until i decided to purchase rotating cd racks like these. http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/yhst-89943295...

I am not a fan of the TV in the space above the fireplace. I think it should be moved however it is hard to determine what the other side of the room looks like. I do not like sofas that are plac...
