We just put up a wall of octopods and boat paintings. I love it. The fact that it is super trendy was totally an accident. We just happened to have a bunch of octopus and boat paintings laying a...

Fresh fruits and veggies! Whatever doesn't require refrigeration. Some times of year the centerpiece is sparse, at other times it is abundant. Right now it is covered in tomatoes (and, admittedl...

Love them! Jealous!

I like white, but that is a lot of it! What I would do (this will probably not be popular): faux bois. Paint your painted wood cabinets to look like wood! Any color combo would be f...

What I would do: Make a skirt for your sink: A piece of fabric gathered and hemmed attached with adhesive velcro. You can hide cheap storage, cleaning supplies or any other thing you...

Useless.

I bought some small paintings at the thrift store for their gorgeous frames. I ended up keeping the paintings in the frames and propping them up in front of the books on one of my myriad bookcases.

I like it. Well, I don't like the Mondrian door, but I like the stripe AND the label.

My solution to the ceiling fan problem was to take a gaudy brass one and spray paint the whole thing white. It ended up looking very retro and cute. Plus the white matches the walls and ceilings ...

Don't try to start with a paint color! That is way too hard! Start with the shower curtain/towels etc. Find something you like that complements the tile and pull a wall color from the scheme tha...

My home is a veritable jungle. There is hardly room for people what with all the books and plants. I "rescue" them like other people rescue animals. . . .

So much to think about! We have cheap checkerboards lurking under the horrible carpet in the office. When we moved in, I took one look at it (large scale, very speckled, *not* on the diagonal) an...

Not having read the GN in question, I found I had a similar reaction to Katiekills. However, my thought was that what made it "over the top" *was* indicative of character. As a graphic novel it i...

Nothing new to contribute, but I've found that requiring a financial contribution works wonders.

I've been using this method for years. I love it! I just wanted to note that if you don't oil your corn before you put it in the bag, one paper bag will last for many, many uses. I keep my paper...

We were gifted heirloom china and silver on the condition that we not only actually use it, but put it in the dishwasher. I have to admit that we only break out the silver for company or when we r...

I love the green furniture too!! The blue and green are beautiful together, but need a little bit of something to make everything come together. I'd go with some grassy greenish-yellow and a few ...

I like the darker grays you have chosen and note that they seem to play well with the beige. Have you thought about painting the pass through wall as an accent? I think this might make the space ...

I love my counters empty! My counter space is extremely limited and my galley kitchen is open to the living room. Cluttered counters would look like a constant mess from the living room. I've be...

The mismatched doors would drive me crazy! I'd remove the bifold doors and replace them with a curtain. I'd pick a large bright print. Or if you need it to balance with the other door, replace i...
