Inpsired by earlier AT posts on this topic, but too lazy/uncrafty to make something like this myself, I bought a great jewelry display thingie on Etsy. It has hooks for necklaces and a sort of mesh thing to stick earrings into: http://www.etsy.com/listing/77776918/three-legged-race-jewelry-holder-8-x-10 5 Unique & Useful Ways to Store Jewelry |

I got our sofa cushions refilled at Spicer's Upholstery in Alexandria. They did 3 cushions (the ones you sit on, not the kind that go behind your back) for around $250 or $300. It is a friendly, family-owned place. I'm really glad we did it, it's made our couch much more comfortable and attractive. Good luck! Ideas or Sources for Refilling Sofa's Back Cushions?

Speaking of multifunctional furniture, does anybody know where I can buy small cube-type things to use as coffee tables or end tables, where the cubes have storage inside but are not made of leather (or pleather)? Multifunctional Furniture Roundup |

This is all good advice. In DC, a good place to get contractor recommendations is checkbook.org. Unfortunately it's not free, but it has a lot more info than Yelp. (I haven't used Angie's List so I can't compare it to that.) How To Hire a Contractor |

Wow, SO impressed that you did all that wallpaper removal yourself. The finished product looks great. I love the wall color and am impressed with the boldness of the ceiling color. Before & After: Alice & Josh's Dining Room Renovation |

Is the patterned wall behind the desk wallpaper, or what? Great place! My cats totally need one of those little cabins. :) Meg & Brad's Student Sanctuary House Tour |

I second the warning to be wary of a too-light grey--we have a medium grey room (Benjamin Moore's Silver Fox) next to a light grey room (the color one or two lighter from Silver Fox on the same chip, I forget the name). The lighter one looks "dirty white" in a lot of lights, whereas the darker grey looks rich and interesting. Looking for the Perfect Gray Paint Good Questions |

I bought a non-Swiffer brand version of a Swiffer from Home Depot (can't remember the brand unfortunately), and it came with washable, reusable microfiber cloths with elastic at the corners to use for this purpose. Reusable Swiffer Sheet Tutorial |

I was relieved to see that most of these are not actually dorm rooms at all. I don't think there's anything wrong with dorm room decor consisting of Bob Marley posters stuck to the wall with that blue stuff.

Mark, I love your posts, but really hope you were using "colorway" ironically or something. Otherwise WHY WHY WHY wouldn't you just say "color"? Before & After: Metallic Stripes ColorTherapy | Apartment Therapy New York |
