Wow - such thoughtful and helpful comments. I knew the Apartment Therapy community would have much better advice than I did!

Your place is truly lovely! So much to draw inspiration from :) I'd love to know where you found/bought your globe? It's incredibly cool.

I'm sorry, I have to disagree, there are not all close ups. Can you clarify which rooms you did not see a view of? This is a small space and I captured the rooms as best as I could (including having to use a wide-angle lens), but what makes this space special IS what's inside it - not the shape of the rooms.

Bev, Nancy Drew's certainly for kids, but she's a hoot whether you're 10 or 100 :)
And what wonderful recommendations! I can't wait to check out these books!

C'mon y'all, if *having* to glance at a picture of the Biebs is a *problem*...well, I'd call that a pretty 1st World *problem*. 2013 = it's OK to have a giggle!

Wow, y'all must have attended some pretty hip kindergartens if your teachers had you crafting simple yet chic home decor. I'm actually excited to make some of these for my holiday table...and I'm an adult :)

Emmi, this is how Jubiltree defines their definition as a green tree: "Unlike artificial trees, which are generally manufactured in China using polyvinyl chloride, Jubiltree Wooden Trees are made in the USA of solid maple, walnut, and cherry.

And our trees preserve natural resources because instead of using an entire tree for a single holiday, you'll use your Jubiltree Wooden Tree for many Christmases to come." If you have other suggestions of eco-friendly tree options, please share them as well :)

@Ruralandruelful: Yes, I'll admit that I'm afflicted with this thing called "curiosity". It causes me to research all kinds of "funny" topics.
@KN14606: I've read that black tea is known to be great for cleaning wood and hardwood floors, but I haven't tried it so I can't verify.
And yep, vinegar is still #1, I just thought it was cool to know there are other non-toxic DIY options out there that work well. Cheers.

@RJZII: I rarely see comments taken down. I didn't see the original comment that was removed, but I doubt it had anything to do with disagreeing and everything to do with tone. It's completely cool to disagree, as long as you keep it classy.


Before & After: The Red Piano Inside Out

Hey all, just wanted to jump in to say that I wrote the piece and was also shocked by the rude comments; they have been removed. I also wanted to say, and this is kind of awkward, that I didn't actually make the above comment attributed to me "Juliabren". It was a friend of mine who was babysitting my kiddos. They were on my computer, saw the post, and wanted to jump in with their perspective. Unfortunately, they were logged in as me. Awkward, indeed. I appreciate their intent, but wanted to clarify that I, as the author of this piece, am all for a colorful discussion regarding art. I spent quite a few years working at art museums and fully appreciate healthy debate surrounding works of art. I just wanted to clarify, as my intent was to share something with all of you, and never to spark a thread of negative feelings. On with the debate ;)

Some of these posts remind me an encounter I once had with a grocery clerk when I was buying a flat of flowers for our garden. She said, "Oh, I HATE flowers! I can't even touch them. They're so icky. They just sit there and DIE!"
Which, is of course, quite true. But as with the gorgeous art work made of upcycled bottles, why not just enjoy this wonderful creation for as long as it lasts? Beauty doesn't have to be enduring, beauty just IS!
