Yeah, that's a Threadless shirt, isn't it? Thank you for the wording of this post. Reasons to ride a bike if you can . I can't; too blind. Not enough balance.

I would paint the living room a color to accent the brick on the fireplace. I don't know what to do about the gold. If it were my kitchen, I'd paint the cabinets one color and the walls another col...

Aye. "We're a side sleeper"? Come on. That's just awkward writing.

For some reason, the slideshow link here starts four pictures from the end. A bit confusing.

Another place to get boxes: the dumpsters of electronics places, either retail stores or rental places.

I agree. The new slideshow format is annoying, and the slideshows are the main reason I come to AT. Plus, for some reason, it's taking all those long pictures forever to load, and I've got DSL. Bro...

Er, I mean Neon lights ARE different. Sheesh.

Those neon lights are ridiculous. Who wants their private space to be so exhibitionist? I want my apartment to look good so I can enjoy it, but I don't want to cover it in different-colored neon li...

Beautiful. You have your DVD player hooked up to the projector, huh? Any way to get the TV (just the free air channels) hooked up to the projector as well?

I've seen towel dispensers in one restroom in a building I used to work in. It looks like a regular mount-on-the-wall-plastic-public-restroom dispenser, but instead of paper, it's cloth attached in...

I think the key here is new furniture. Put everything that is in those two sets of plastic drawers into something solid and more permanent: a single chest of drawers to go next to the other one, a ...

Awww, man. The three-column thing? But that's like on every other mainstream design blog I browse. I'm fine with moving other blogs to other sites (as long as you keep the links to them on the main...

annalyssa: I sat and thought about your dilemma. It sounds lovely and exactly what my ideal living room might be, couch and all. Since you've got the green couch, why don't you offset ...

tracydanielle: Go with your gut. You like the black or darker wood? Go with it. So your living room is really dark-colored. So what? As long as there's plenty of light and accents of whatever color...

I thought of Roman shades myself. Or rollup shades. I also think that having a shade for each individual window wouldn't be busy. You're going for shape and texture in the room, not pattern, so a b...

Hooray! Something on AT in the state I live in!

To ahatton: I've seen lovely things happen with simple whole wheat grass in pots. Just buy wheat at a health food store and prepare a pot of any size with soil, then put a layer of wheat seeds alon...

Dayinla: Where do you find such a corkboard? Jessica: I live in Utah. I just took it to my local framing shop. The place is called Bev's. My grandma recommended it to me. ...

I've got a question of my own: Anyone know of cheap ways to protect the wall around a dart board? We've used styrofoam. It makes the dart holes be less deep than they would be with nothing around i...

It's okay, Modfan. I feel the same way. I look here for looks and get all my stuff at thrift stores, yard sales, and craigslist. We're almost-poor students, for goodness's sake. And we're artists. ...
