There is a definite distance in which the bottom of your light fixture hangs in relation to the top rim of your tub. I'll have to check in with my electrician for the actual 'code', but from ...

Definitely not the central focus of my living space. I made a conscious effort to move it off the side, where it won't always seen. As in your case, it also doubles as our...

I think the questions is: why not? Bringing the light source closer to your face is a fantastic idea. Less dark circles under your eyes (which harsh, overhead lighting can usually be blamed for) an...

I think it's about time you gave us Canadian's our own AT! Igloos are sort of like apartments, non?

I think you'd benefit from hiring a contractor frame over the wall o' stones and use fire rated drywall to give you a nice new wall which you can do, pretty much, anything to. They could even rough...

Reminds me of my previous apartment, where I took inspiration from an Hermes box. Great job! I fourth P(t.o.o.)'s suggestion to move the art to the newly orange wall. Perhaps a few mo...

Cosmetically speaking, those type of vanity lights work best when placed not only on top, but around the perimeter of the entire mirror. In any case, I can hardly wait to see the end ...

Why not try shutters? If it fits the style of the home, I say shutters are quite foolproof. http://www.shutterscan...

I am frothing at the mouth from that utterly delicious pink octopus chandelier. Color me green, with envy.

PS: Jenny in DC, it seems that you've already mentioned the tv situation, so it's NOT just me. Haha I'd agree that a sideboard/unit of some sort placed underneath would do the trick an...

1. Rug. Just wondering: is it just me or is that television mounted higher than what would be considered 'comfortable viewing'?

I hate to beat a dead horse, but I do agree with several of the comments posted regarding the 'staged', or not 'lived-in' living room look. It's a beautiful space, no doubt! But ...

I've got a sick hack for this contest. I have it all planned out, now to the hardware store I go for some lumber! Good luck everybody! (You'll all need it! Mwahahaha) ...

I'm with Lisa, get both sets if budget allows. Perhaps on the white sheets, if your feeling a little adventurous but not enough to go pattern and color crazy, try bedding with bold pip...

No one has yet to fully address your lighting query, so here goes. Definitely do recessed lighting, halogens if at all possible. (Let's try and avoid the yellow glow of those 80'...

I pronounce it eye-kee-ya, though after having learned Japanese, I'm compelled to say ee-kay-ah. This all came about when we had a Japanese exchange student stay with us, and she laugh...

Loves the Seldorf Architect's platform daybed.

Seems unanimous.

"i dont really get the stacks of pillows next to the fireplace though..." Goodnightdean, Perhaps when one runs out of logs?.. Haha Talk about a good way...

For someone who is a self proclaimed 'adventurous and outgoing' type, you seem quite bound by this color scheme of blue and brown, non? I can't think of anything outside of what's alre...
