I saw that Urban sofa at the store...I can tell you it looks A LOT smaller in person and while not the worst sofa ever it's not exactly great.

You could paint it white (which always gives it a certain look). To me though the real problem is the countertops/floor which you're replacing and the cabinets. I honestly think painting the cabi...

I have almost bought this a few times but here are my problems: 1. What does it look like after a few washes? 2. West Elm is HORRIBLE about ambiguous color. They put lables of...

Yeah I'm thinking I really need to start moving in that direction. I was actually VERY close to selling my kind of bland WEst Elm couch for the Urban Outfitters fainting sofa I've almost bought f...

Her box? 6500 dollars?! Sometimes Domino really frustrates me when it contradicts itself.

I agree with so many of your comments. I have been horrified enough that 80s fashion has been in for like 4 f*ing years now and now we have to deal with it in interior design too! UGH!

I just bought a cow hide... I think the reason we all reacted to the Tiger hide was because of the problems there have been with tiger conservation. I mean I know that she had had it...

I always suggest this but a muted teal blue would look awesome in here. It would give it a pop, and in my opinion it would make some of the more traditional items in the room feel a bit more ironi...

I love that you seemed to mix expensive with eclectic. Like in the bathroom you have these very chic, expensive, modern basin sings but then you mix it with these eclectic interesting knick knacks...

WOW. I am so shocked. Urban has great design and great prices but this makes me so nervous. I have been going back and fourth on buying one of their fainting sofa's and really want to see a pict...

Okay... I have seen that floor cushion from West Elm about 5 million times and every time I see it (or a carpet like it) I get even more angry. How the heck do you seriously expect someone to have...

I think this looks absolutely AWESOME but I have had the MOST difficult time with floating shelves haha. Mine look absolutely horrible. I can hardly put anything on them, they sag, and they are j...

OH MY GOD WHERE DID YOU GET THAT COUCH!? ITS MY DREAM COUCH!!!

I mean beyond the fact that we all hate that there is a tiger on the wall that room is just plain tacky. There is no way around it. Without the tiger even if it were fake the room is really reall...

Yum the blue room reminds me of Carrie Bradshaw's "new" apartment in the Sex and the City movie.

I think with Shabby Chic the MOST important thing is not too go into the cutesy cutesy zone. I went into this Shabby Chic store in Chicago and as cute as a lot of the items were their main decorat...

I have been looking for a mirror like this EVERYWHERE. The only ones I have found are white...and 600 dollars. Can anyone tell me where I can get a similar one to the black one shown here?

As beautiful as this carpet is the reason its probably marked down is because it would look like a rag in about a week. Can you imagine? A furry white carpet! EEEk the dust alone would make it g...

I agree that this looks really cruel but I can understand the point. I think you are all kind of misunderstanding the idea in thinking that it is some kind of transportation for the r...

To be perfectly honest all of the tricks are great but it really comes down to your personal preference. When I first moved to Chicago I had to pick my apartment in a weekend. My apar...
