I don't think a nursery lacking a window is mean, but I do think it is unsafe. In most states, there needs to be some possible exterior egress in a bedroom. This means an exterior doo...

Out of curiosity, what is wrong with it? And how long have you had it? I'm considering some Oeuf pieces, but will spend elsewhere if long term quality isn't good.

Very cool looking. But how does a kid get to the books on the top shelf?

I'd remove the decals no matter what refinishing route you take. You probably won't get a good result trying to work around them. Take really good photos of them first, and print new decals/stick...

Mixes like this make me sad. If you had to add butter, egg and vanilla, the only things you didn't add were sugar/brown sugar, salt, baking soda, flour and chocolate chips. Really, ...

The decorative metal on Parsons is much thicker, but the main side beams appear to be about the same, and the steel slats used to hold up the mattress are the same as Parsons. I'm st...

The potted plant looks good with the cabinets and tile. How about a terra cotta orange on the kitchen walls, and some of the dining room (the rest could tie into the blues and whites in the rest o...

I have a Parsons, and it is SUPER well made, yet easy to move. I had to give my last R&B catalog to a moving crew member who had to have the bed after moving it. I can't speak for She...

There is predesigned prefab (the various kits and such that are often featured on sites like ApartmentTherapy). There is also custom designed, prefab. The design is dictated by you an...

Scarred by sharing a bathroom with one sibling? Seriously? Try a family of seven (2 adults, 5 kids - 3 girls, 2 boys) and one bathroom. You learn many things, including but not limit...

Try http://www.vintagetub.com/asp/bath_accessories.asp they have soap dishes and tub caddies designed for ...

Home Depot also sells Benjamin Moore Swiss Coffee in premixed cans in several finishes.

Totally bare and easy to clean. What I don't totally do not get is people that keep things on their kitchen counters (crocks of utensils, stand mixers, etc). People say it looks cozy....

Talk to the landlord first.

White trim. White trim. White trim. And the picture rail is trim too.

I also couldn't manage solid surface counters on my budget at my last house, and instead went with very large tiles. The tiles were quite large (maybe 18 inches square). We had full tiles at the ...

Kudos to you for really thinking through whether your lifestyle meshes with having an animal. Every time I walk by my local animal shelter, I with that more people carefully thought through the co...

I don't get 'vignette on top of the recyclables bin' thing either, but to each his own. According to Brimfield's website: Locating a Dealer after the show: We...

Oh, and what is the square footage of the area heated by this unit? And I second the request for a floorplan, if possible.
