Fun, whimsical - I like it.

Cool and innovative! I think it's great for Chinatown since there's little greenery in that neighborhood. To those who posted that Boston is cold and gray, chilly and dull have clearl...

What a fantastic idea!!

I've seen some nice vintage pieces at Downstairs at Felton Antiques in Waltham.

My mother stores cookies, bread, chips, and such in her oven. I don't use my oven as a bread box, but absolutely store as many pots, pans, assorted bakeware and oversized utensils as I can possibly...

If it's not priced, I tend to assume that the seller wants more than I'm willing to pay. Usually, I won't even bother asking what the price is... I just move on.

to lotusmoss: I use Mrs. Meyers as well, lavender scent. It seems to clean as well as Dawn, Joy and other such brands that I used to use. Regarding bubble count: I think there are slightly less bub...

It doesn't have to be Ikea or high-end designer furniture. There are other options. In Massachusetts you can buy overstock pieces at a big discounts at Building 19. The store doesn't look slick, th...

Cheap and not well-made, but stylish in a college-dorm / MCM sort of way. I think Ikea is great for people on a tight budget of if you need a quick home decor fix for your home. However, when you s...

Fun, urban bathroom. Nice job! That tall vertical cabinet fits nicely in the nook next to the shower -- where did you get it?

I've been curious about Mrs. Meyer's detergent -- thanks for the review. Scented detergent tickles my nose, so looking forward to a fragrance-free option in the near future. In addition, tho...

I agree... just buy one. I resisted buying a window unit A/C for far too long. After one too many hot & humid sleepless summer nights, I finally broke down. Not sure why I waited so long! If you do...

Lovely. I like that you've kept the adornments on the wall at the head of your bed to a minimum -- lends a balance to the collection of objects in other parts of the room. Very serene space.

Very unique! Wow! You've got a good eye for mixing and matching vintage pieces from different eras.

Did the 'shelf' over the bed come with the bed frame. Interesting. I like that you oped out of using drapes for your gorgeous windows. Soothing rich colors, great space!

Unique home with interesting elements: love the Ghost Chair and the reflective floor living room. Are those glass panels in the folding screens? Shower area looks chic -- would like to see more of ...

Wow! This is the first time I had seen chairs suspended from walls, so that was pleasantly shocking. Tub resting on wood blocks is that your idea or is that something that's commonly done? Great en...

I really like that large painting hanging on the wall in the bedroom -- who's the artist? Bright, modern, sunny apartment!

Love the toned-down / weathered look that you've achieved. That hanging scale in the kitchen with the plant is a unique touch. Personally, I wouldn't add the splashes of bold color -- looks fantast...
