I'd love a convertible room. A murphy bed that folds up onto the wall by day, and an office (closet) with closet doors that close off when work is done. If your bedroom is one of the ...

Great! I like emergency accommodations that are there for when you need them, but don't encourage extended family to think of your home as a free B&B!!

In my city (Vancouver, Canada), I find there's not a huge price difference for renting in different areas. So no, it's not worth it. I lived for a year in an area that was quiet, but ...

I like to have something for the eyes to rest on at each side of the room. Preferably something with good detail for the eyes to ponder. BAD = a plain silver frame on top of the firep...

I wish I had a house.

Because the door is inset in that porch, it will darken the way the colour looks from the sidewalk, so I'd compensate by going lighter, like bright yellow. CUTE HOUSE!!

Gorgeous!

That bedroom one is scary! Totally good work on the art of course, because it does elicit a response!

I have that exact table! I bought it off Craigslist. I paired it with some dark wood and brown padded seat "leather" chairs from Pier One that are quite comfortable. It doesn't LOOK very fancy t...

Maybe it should be hung somewhere uncomfortable, so I don't watch too much. :-P

Emergency cigarettes! "In case of emergency break glass."

Great job!

I have a similar space in my rental bathroom, and I put a curtain in front of it and use it for storage of TALL items. Specifically, all the cheap horizontal blinds that came with the place.

Camouflage! Take a photo of the fireplace and then print it out in colour at different scales and plaster it all over the rest of the wall as a trompe l'oiel. KIDDING!

Warm, personal, and lovely!

I understand there is some really good sound deadening drywall stuff available. It makes me sad that landlords are too cheap to install it. It's a shame that building code can't be changed to mak...

In friends' and family's homes: BAD LIGHTING. Because it's not just them suffering, but me too, when I'm over there.

I am intrigued by the collection of coloured pottery in the kitchen! Do they collect them, or did one of the homeowners make the pots?

Partways through every move, I turn to my partner and suggest simply burning the old place down next time. I'm no pyro of course, but making that joke cheers me up.

With lots of that nice white trim in place, you could go almost anywhere with colour and it will look great! I think the room would really come together with more or larger art on th...
