I guess I’m a bit of a prude, but I’m hung up on the fact that a discussion on the ‘ethics’ of shopping (and paying for) items from a big box store is being moderated by a w...
'Borrowing' something with not intention of returning it isn't borrowing, it's stealing. Things like shampoo are consumable, and are provided with the intent that you use them or keep them. I am ...
I think a bright coral would look great with the couch and lamp colors.

Luxury in a home to me- in Chicago- was finding an apartment with a garage, a patio, huge south facing windows and an in unit washer and dryer. Granted there are some trade-offs; busy streets belo...
