Such a vibrant, fun, beautiful home. Love, love, love.

It's refreshing to see something with a completely different design aesthetic that exudes so much personality. I love this house tour - great rooms & great style. Nice to see something that looks s...

If you're moving in together for the first time - why not make things as simple as possible? Move into boyfriend's larger place with your menagerie. Agree if you don't like it after a specific peri...

If you really want to block light with blinds, you can get the kind with cloth or ribbons running down the front. Nice look & it blocks any holes. I have two-inch wooden blinds in my ...

Also like the colored ceiling in dining room. Great effect. Is it painted wallpaper?

There are two different ideas going on here - tracking spending vs. cutting spending. Tracking what you spend your money on can give you a picture of where your money is going & what ...

Agree with others that this is an invasion of privacy & extremely distasteful. I live in a somewhat similar situation - where strangers can - with a few steps onto my property - easily peer ...
