that one pic does seem a little dark, but having looked at the rest of the pics - the room is actually much lighter and i find that the design overall is charming, not at all "nightmare inducing".

i had a method of cleaning like this when i was a kid. (my mum didn't presort, it was all up to me). i actually found a book in my elementary school library when i was in second or third grade call...

am i the only one that kind of loves those green plaid chairs? i'd prob want to take the casters off, but still...

mmm... poland spring is most definitely real. i grew up in small (neighboring) town in maine... as a kid it was definitely the best tasting water. ever. there was actually a small turn-off o...

lovely room. ChrisGal - an office doesn't necessarily have to mean "computer space". one person's "work" doesn't have to be the same as everyone else's "work". there's plenty of ...

i really like this... i'm hardly much of a gardener, but i like a little outdoor greenery. i'm hoping my next apartment will have a little stoop or balcony that i can use for this purpose. a lot of...

with a decent sized table and a crib or toddler bed mattress, you could totally do that for a real bed, even. i would have loved that as a kid (and would have thrown a sheet over it to make a fort!).

love the orange squares blanket - anyone know the source?

i've seen other pictures of this place on apartment therapy... one shot is close enough that you can see how the trofast frame was reinforced to accomodate the extra weight/usage. also - the...

not exactly a lot going on, but hardly sad - maybe a tad boring, but it is what it is - simple... as for saddest rooms, have you ever seen pretty in pink? remember ducky's room? that's sad.

i learned about these after greg @ daddytypes posted about their t-shirts. when i went to look at them at the old navy in downtown san francisco, they didn't have the shirts but they did have all o...

i also recently moved recently.

is it really so bad if the kids eat a couple of needles? they're not posionous are they? i say just do it. you might be surprised. decorate it with non-breakables - origami cranes? tissue paper flo...

cute room, but aside from the owls on the branch, i don't really get the "woodland" aspect. i think more "australia" between what i can see of the map and the sheepskin. but overall i don't feel th...

martha stewart had an article in her magazine years ago (and i think i've seen it reprinted in a couple of her books) where a small shelf/table was attached to a wall with a piano hinge and a brack...

btw... does anyone else feel rather inspired by this post? like it could almost be a contest - a challenge to choose one of the "traditional" baby bedding sets from a big-box store (or a hand-me-do...

another idea to give it a more modern feel, if that's what you're looking for - the sharon montrose photographs that were just posted today (http://www.ohdeedoh.com/ohdeedoh/artwork/sharon-montrose...

If you really want "pop" - I'd paint one wall the deep red I see in birds and alligator. If you want a big impact, but don't necessarily want such a strong red on the walls, I'd paint one wall a ri...

for me it greatly depends on the application. grape is best on pb & j sandwiches. strawberry is best on biscuits. raspeberry (with seeds!) is best on toast.
