Our bed has the double-sags too. :-( We bought a really fancy expensive king-size bed, and now it has 2 troughs in it on the sides where we sleep (cats down the middle). So we have a less-comfy s...

Friends redecorating for friends can be a lot of drama! I just helped a friend renovate and stage her place for sale. And by "helped", I mean I worked my butt off for a week and she complained ab...

A few years ago, I got a custom tv-cabinet piece made by Brook Design. It was gorgeous! We upgraded our t.v. and I almost cried seeing the cabinet go.

I bet your friends LOVE the 2 long sofas! What a great spot for hanging out. Change coffee table? With a rectangular table, it's always 'serving' one couch, but not the other. A lar...

I love the idea of black doors... I've been thinking about doing the same in my place!

I'd love to see the rest of the room, as that would change things! If it's across from a window, I'd want to get as much mirror in there as you can afford. Then change what's on the shelf seasona...

I second the apostrophe comment. In the small town I grew up, these name signs are common, and probably 20% contain this grammatical error! It is my official #2 pet peeve... right after people re...

I think it's the lamp that might be over. I say this with compassion, as I actually have the exact same brown gourd lamp. I love it, but it was a trend and now it's past its prime. M...

My fave is the black chairs at the end. They are gorgeous!! In fact, I love all the hits of black, they really bring the colours to life.

I think Diana has a wonderful collection of art! I would paint over the two-tone green walls with a solid warm-ish neutral. With all the exciting colour of the art and furniture, even a creamy wh...

I see you have excellent taste in board games! Is that Ticket to Ride, Alhambra, and Blokus? ;-) I LOVE all of your warm colours and patterns. The textures in the bedroom and so w...

I've been reading the site for almost a year and I'm doing the Cure for the first time now! I read the first section of the book and did my Repair list tonight. It's longer than I expected. ...

Vancouver people -- you can get Low-VOC and Zero-VOC AFM Safecoat paints from CBR Products:

A note about priming -- Telmen says he primed first before the dark coat. This is a very crucial step if you're going to use masking tape! Use the base colour of the wall, that way the paint that...
