I agree the tiles are not so bad, they are a little busy but such a neutral color I think they would look fine with different cabinets. My first thought was white paint for the cabinets - that will...

There isn't much point in saying something was done "on a budget" with no explanation. Nearly everyone has "a budget" - whether it is $5000 or $25,000. I know some people are leery of sharing costs...

Exactly what I was thinking, TT09!

The first photo is very cute :) And yes, it is perfect for Unhappy Hipsters. This may be the first modern, minimalist house tour that I have really liked. Usually I feel like this styl...

#2 - crunchy crust!!

Ooh, terrariums is a great idea, fenrisdelapena!

If I put tools in a shoebox they would magically morph into a tangled mess the second time I opened the box. Even if there were only 3 tools.

I love the little details. The place seems a lot bigger than 800sqft - hard to believe it's only 65sqft bigger than our place! I gotta say though, that carpet would drive me crazy, no ...

I have used steel wool with great success on stuck scrambled egg... didn't realize I was stripping the seasoning. That's probably why the egg stuck to begin with! I don't have any kosh...

I have a "bills" account too, katzamboni, and I love it for the same reasons!

I'm guessing the only reason WD40 wasn't mentioned is that Vaseline, soap and candles are a more common household item?? Or am I missing something?

Way to see potential where I would have just seen an unfinished floor! It's gorgeous. brubeck3 - her blog says she has 3 coats of sealer on top of the paint.

Give them to an art class!

You guys above are awesome. I spent the first 5 years after buying our condo living with all its problems because I tried a few things half-assed, they came out half-assed and it discouraged me fro...

Good point, d4kk1tt3n. Personally I tend to feel the same way as you, Emma - it feels criminal to leave a bit on the plate or throw it away, even though it is such a small amount. My f...

Yep, you need an organizer. Or it will go back to looking like the first photo in a few weeks.

Apf, same here, and I agree that it makes for better design in the end although yes it can be frustrating at the time!

Malinna, sometimes I buy things with the idea "let's see what my boyfriend thinks of this", then I take it home and ask him whether or not he likes it, and WHY. Some stuff ends up getting returned ...

lol, that's a great quote. I enjoy organizing, but the quote helps me understand my boyfriend's point of view a little better, I think!

Ooh, heather77, great ideas. Soapstone and pale green would make those cabinets look GREAT. DachaDesign, upgrading the hardware will definitely make a big difference! Please send a pho...
