I like much about the room.... the openness, the accent colors in the different pieces, and the architecture. While I understand having the furniture to the side to create a hallway, I would perso...

Cherrypie71, buyer beware is extremely important with any home purchase and any history know about a house is valuable. That said, I grew up in a home that was once occupied by an old recluse who ...

It is on Unclutterer as a unitasker, not a compliment or recommendation from Unclutterer.

There have been some pretty grand statements made based on the comments of a self-acknowledged minimalist. I had a neighbor in which the husband thought the wife "saved" too much... current magazi...

Matt. M I don't turn on the lights at three in the morning, want to stay as asleep as possible, so that one has gotten me before. It's not fun, even if it's also not life threatening, so I d...

@That70sHeidi.. Just so I understand you, this is a place to spout your feelings... but only if they do not in anyway hint toward you know what. (wanted to make sure not to say that di...

Like others... I too am a sucker for windows and those are glorious windows! I agree that architectural details can make a b-i-g difference but I think the owners need credit also. I would never ...

In the end I guess we just are who we are. Cheers back at you.

Everything looks a little too brand new to me and would personally like a few more older pieces. This is most likely why I loved the cross stitched piece, it seemed to add a little bit of history....

Oh wait... that was the whole point to begin with wasn't it?

jym, I'm sorry you feel so defensive when someone criticizes you.

The look is very cool. The only problem is I could not sleep in a bedroom suspended over my baby's crib... even if I knew it was perfectly safe. I would spend too much time worrying and no time s...

Madsarah & JYW If you bothered to read my follow-up after my first comment you would have seen that I do appreciate the constructive criticism, understanding why someone thinks it does...

B.B. I agree that the balance comes with spending wisely and within your means. I struggle though with the idea that we should spend to keep the economy going, especially if it means continuing to...
