panties on a wire?

I think it is a school library 'study corral'. Paint it, use it for a year, then kick it to the curb.

IKEA has extra long curtains.

I am confused by this whole 'don't paint your bricks' thing. Does that mean that all those houses with painted brick exteriors are going to start falling down? Every 100 year old house on Capitol H...

No, I was serious. You should lobby to be a judge next year. Represent!

great place! love it, love it, love it, but... can we make a pact that after say, June 1st, we all delete or peel off or paint over our wall silhouette stencils? for me? thanks!

I think this is why they asked professionals in the industry to be the final judges. Maybe you could lobby to be a judge next year, Moira?

Poor quality photographs. From what I can see, it looks okay. Except for the bedding. Simplify?

I spy a weird box under the bed. It is screaming at me to suggest an alternate storage system... ANY alternate storage system.

On second look, that rolled up thing under the couch would drive me bananas! What is it? The room divider feels a little too 'west virgengineered' for me and looks like it would topple over with on...

that window looks fantastic. It would look even better with a little air around it. Move those tables! Consolidate the little sprinkles of little thingies.

I was recently in Amsterdam and the most prevalent form of street level window shading was frosted glass... or film. Imagine hordes of tourists walking by DIRECTLY outside your living room every da...

A 2nd floor apartment on a busy road? Oy. Can you move somewhere else? How about buying a fan for white noise and some of this (or better) adhesive film for the bottom half of the wind...
