You really need more closed storage. I'm guessing that your roomate doesn't want to part with most of the cds/DVDs/books etc that are there--which is fine. What you need is something with doors t...

I've done Thanksgiving a few times and find that making a menu and shopping list help a lot. For a table setting one year I used some acorn squash, leaves and candles--it came out really nice.
What a great HOME. It's colorful without being overbearing and thoughtfully designed. I'm loving your closet set up--great option for those of use who could use more space.
A lot of what makes this home attractive can be done at all different price points. Neutral upholstery, mix of materials (wood, glass, metal), interesting accents, books that reflect the homeowner...
I don't mind the house tours--I'm kind of nosy. Not in the go through your medicine cabinet kind of way, though. I'm an interior designer so I guess people do it to get my approval or something.

Absolutely stunning. Honestly, one of the very best tours I've ever seen and the one that probably reflects my personal style the best. The red shelf!
All I see when I look at the first picture is a row of washing machines--like at a laundromat.
