Sorry, just read your comment and realized you're a renter. You could look into temporary wallpaper options (tempaperdesigns.com and Sherwin Williams).
I like hellowest's advice the best. I say put a very bold wallpaper on the wall behind the couch. This will get people to look at the wall rather than the couch. I think the color is just fine, it'...
1. I second "how to make your own grow lights."
2. I also second "how to change out a light fixture." Specifically, I'd like to know how to replace a regular ceiling fixture with a cha...
I used to have a roach problem in my old apartment. I sprinkled Borax around the baseboards, and it worked great. It's not quite harmless to humans (you shouldn't eat it), but it won't hurt you or ...
I put shredded paper in my compost pile all the time, and I do use the compost for growing vegetables. I don't have a yard (just a sidewalk), so I don't collect a lot of dry materials like leaves f...
I also watch it while cleaning. I'm trying to rid myself of clutter, and I find that I have an emotional attachment to a lot of "stuff" that really has no place in my life. This show helps me get s...
I bought a mini tree in a pot at Trader Joe's three or four years ago. I bring it inside every year for the Christmas season, then take it back outside, where it is happiest, in January. It's grown...
My rules are:
(1) No buying on credit.
(2) Wait and see if the love lasts.
In the meantime, keep saving and do lots of research to see if you can get the sam...
I agree with the suggestion to pick the upholstery fabric first. It's much cheaper to re-paint than to re-upholster. For the price you'll pay, you want to pick a fabric that will last, i.e., not a ...
This is brilliant! It's so simple and obvious that I'm embarrassed not to have thought of it myself. It may be the solution I choose for my kitchen, which was the subject of a "good questions" post...
These are so elegant! I've been thinking about not black, but a dark grey for my walls. After this post, I've been thinking maybe I'll paint the woodwork instead. It needs repainting more than the ...

Borax worked great to rid my kitchen of roaches! (That and doing dishes more regularly.)

It would be nice to use a full/queen comforter on my full-sized bed, instead of the twin one I'm using now!
