I just moved into an apartment with all hardwood floors. I have to keep up with small mountains of dog hair, my own hair that seems to shed nearly as badly as my dog's, plus assorted crafty/sewing...

If that's the room it's going in, I think it looks fabulous as is. However, if you really don't dig the gold my first suggestion would be white because I think it would bring out the awesome detai...

I'd have to say that the Giraffe is actually my favorite--it's adorable, classy, and a little bit quirky (and I love giraffes).

The top 5 probably vary from person to person, but for me they were: 1) Pet friendly 2) Location 3) Natural light/Windows 4) Overal Layout (will my furniture work her...

I LOVE the WiiFit! I didn't think it was going to be nearly this fun! My only complaint--that evil little computer SPIES on you! It was asking me if I thought my roommate had lost/gained weight ...

Ok... are these really any worse than the leg lamp from A Christmas Story? A lot of art is based on the female form, yes, some of it crosses the line into sexist, or crude... but personally I don...

Gorgeous! But.... $12,500???? I think I'll just wait until I know someone hacking down a tree.

Eh... I think it has the potential to be interesting.

I paid $200 for my fabulous vintage (no one seemed to know just how old it was, so I'm going with "vintage" over "antique") sofa. Yes, it should be reupholstered when I'm no longer a starving coll...

I believe the shower curtain is from Anthropologie... not positive though. I have a dish towel with the same pattern--love it!

My mom always placed garlic around the perimeter of the house. Don't know if it really work that well or if we were just lucky, but we never had a serious problem with ants.

Totally hot! Very quirky, but that's probably why I like them.

It helps to take the artwork you're thinking of and lay it out on the floor to find a good composition. Taping paper the right size up on the wall is a good idea too, but using the actual art can ...

I actually quite like the table... the lamp I find a little creepy, but if the table was affordable I'd totally have it my home.

If you try printing it just be careful when scaling something up that much--it might get pretty pixalated. If you paint it you could probably find some vinyl letters so everything stays even (and ...

Big closets are nice (especially when they can double as a dressing room) but are hardly necessary. My new apartment has 2 tiny little closets, but an amazing kitchen and overall fantastic layout ...

I'll be moving in a few weeks. I've been staying with a friend in MN and now I have to haul all my stuff from WI to MN which is a bit of a nightmare when you can't afford to spend a ton on moving ...

Is it odd that my first thought after reading this was "Wow... a cardboard(?) moose head! That is awesome!" So perhaps I have rather...quirky... tastes...

My parents have a similar rug (only cheap, older, and getting kind of...unattractive) and my dog just adores it! Now I'll be moving to an apartment with hardwood floors and would totally put in th...

Peanut butter. People always think I"m crazy when I mention it, but it does work (but best just for the residue, after you've tried to peel off most of the label), just let it sit for a while.
