Yeah, maybe time to move out of Tokyo. Seriously, how do you enjoy living in a city when this is what you can afford?

Not worth it.

Interesting idea, but can you even see it from the sofa?

That's just kind of lazy, though, CarmenJo. A good designer finds a solution that is not only practical but integrated, beautiful, and makes the entire design better.

It shouldn't be nuisance, it should be an opportunity to carry the design further.

Wow. If I didn't have a man who tamps down my girly side, this is exactly what my apartment would look like. Love, love the colors.

Turning up the exposure compensation helps, too. ;)

Looks great! Love the tile.

So, some think he needs to be treated more like an adult, and others think he should be talked to more like a child. Interesting.

I like her focus on not letting the phone control his social life and how he treats people. Way too many teens treat their phones like it's their main method of communicating, instead of, you know, their mouths being their main method of communicating.

Another tip I would give my kid - try not to walk around with your headphones in all the time. You'll miss SO much.

If I'm being honest, the porn rule is kind of setting him up for failure. I think we're kidding ourselves if we think our 13 year olds are going to live up to it. I think a better lesson would be "porn is fantasy, not reality. Don't expect real girls/women to look or act like that, and don't expect to be able to treat them like that."

This post is why I refuse to have an office! I know that I'm just going to drag my laptop out to the couch to watch something on Netflix with my husband while I work. Why fight it? Instead of a desk, I got a chill mat and a Kramfors sofa (the arms are nice and wide and make a cozy spot for my computer).

If we ever have a house with a real dedicated dining area, I want a huge table. There are only three of us, but I like to work on projects at our table, and I'd love to not have to move anything when dinner is ready. I imagine it functioning as a central drop/eat/craft/homework space. And yes, I know myself, so I will pass on a house where I wouldn't be able to see the TV from my comfy craft chair.

Okay, since my comment is gone and I'm guessing someone reported it as spam, I'll say it again:

Look into e-cigarettes. Your neighbor problem will be solved, they're better for your health, and you'll save thousands of dollars.

This website does not sell anything, by the way, it is a forum for sharing information.

Another shout out for Peep Show and That Mitchell and Webb Look. And don't miss The IT Crowd and Spaced while you're at it.

Mobiles over a crib do actually have a function. The first three, which face the interesting sides toward parents, are useless. Why does this continue to be such a difficult concept for designers?
