Beige, taupe, off-white, basically anything people describe as 'neutral' (cblls: Love the 'caucasian' label!) White walls can works, as long as it is a bold/pure white (i.e. no muddy...

A great neighborhood becomes an extension of your apartment. On the other hand, not matter how great an apartment is, it will quickly become a prison cell if it is in the wrong location.

Frankly, it is those people who paint their homes boring beighe or taupe for 'resale' that are being disrespectful. A house is meant for living and should be an expression of those who live there...

Great job! See it IS possible to have a clean, uncluttered kitchen that still has charm.

Why do people confise character with clutter? and substance with stuff? To me a cluttered home show a distinct LACK of character and substance. It is far too easy to replace real thought with ano...

Definitely save or sell then. I'd say they're worth at LEAST $250 each, and likely more, especially in a market like Chicago.

Looks marginally better.

If the bench top were solid teak or walnut, the 'price point' would be $4000, and you'd still be complaining...

Get a ceiling fan from modern fan company -- far better looking than these, and while they cost a bit more, you don't have to shell out for a separate light and fan, not to mention deal with the ad...

Girard has jumped the shark (Urban Outfitters? Really??) . Electra makes a lot of other sweet cruisers, check then out instead.

Would you really want to sit on a cactus? Really?

Wow, reason # 19,405 that I will NEVER live in a HOA, what a bunch of NIMBY drones.

If people are so concerned about protecting their books, storing them on the side is a bad idea altogether. If however, their main concern is with showing off how many books they own, or how 'au co...

At least it adds a punch of color to an otherwise bland block, and a much needed jolt of interest. I hope it suitably annoyed the (boringly beige) neighbors.

Clean it with glue/mastic remover and/or a grinder, seal it and and leave it alone. Don't touch the railing, except perhaps to 'oil the iron to refresh the metal. It is not 'dated,' rather a classi...

Most people have WAY to many knives anyways -- most of use only really need 2-3 high quality ones. Avoid the sets and save your $$ for a good quality chef's knife. Knives on displa...

Love it. Why can't more hotels be like this, instead of the overwrought decorations that are found even in so-called 'contemporary' hotels?

If you don't find MCM stuff comfortable, why do you have it? The whole ethos of the mid-century design is for follows function. If it isn't functional to you, get rid of it and replace it with t...

I agree that electric = clash, and unless you are REALLY talented, thrift store finds rarely work out and end up looking like hand-me downs or student-on-a-budget. Flowers/greenery ar...

While I like the downloading rug as a piece of modern art, this is about the worst conceived piece of furniture/art I have ever seen. I don't even think Tim Burton could appreciate this abomination!
