B-more represent, woo! (Hampden here, hon.) Looks great, Stephanie!

I would go with curtains hung right below the ceiling as well. Go with something light, possibly even a bit sheer, that ends just above the floor.

You might also consider larger groupings of art, or just larger art, as the walls are currently dwarfing your pictures.

FLOORS.

You could do whatever you wanted in that space, and it would look amazing because of those floors.

I love this.

A bag of Charlie's Soap and a couple of dryer balls are all I need to do laundry: get the best quality soap you can find, and you won't need to use stuff like fabric softener and bleach, which are bad for fabrics anyway.

Big blue Ikea bags are my favourite for transporting clothes, because you can fit a lot in them, and they have flat bottoms, so you can stack the folded clean ones and carry them back without everything getting messed up.

I have to say, though, don't use multiple machines at once unless you KNOW it's a time when no one else uses them. There are few things more irritating about a communal laundry room than coming down to find someone has filled all the washers or dryers at once. You may save time, but you run the risk of pissing off your neighbors, causing them to dump your wet or clean clothes on the floor.

Also, no one likes people who leave their clothes for extended periods of time, or for that matter, having their clothes dumped out/handled by a stranger. Bring a timer to sync with your machine so you can come back in a timely manner, particularly if there is a high demand for the machines.

And yeah, these are the things I learned from the college laundry room. I'm happy to have machines in unit now. XD

Lovely exterior, bland interior. I understand that renting sets limitations on paint and wallpaper, but there should be more colour introduced. Even if those colours are serene blues and greens.

Tacky and ugly.

This is a nice space, with good things...but I don't know. It lacks some cohesion, and while I appreciate the definite absence of the COHESION OVERLOAD sometimes present in the house tours featured on AT, I think it could use something to bring it all together a bit better.

I like that there is stuff in the house. Sounds weird, but sometimes houses look a little too spare and unnatural for a living space.

Wow. I can't imagine feeling guilty about having even one small recycling bin, or about visiting my family once a year in France. She seems to view anything other than "perfect" as terrible and shameful (and yet rationalises away other things like having two motor vehicles: get a bike with a big basket and stop carrying 20 jars with you to the store.) . You should treat your environment, fellow man and creatures with care and respect. But no one is perfect and respectful all the time, not even Mother Nature. Even she says "f*ck it" sometimes, and throws a hurricane, or earthquake, or tsunami, or volcanic eruption our way. ;)

I don't understand how her family tolerates this kind of controlling nonsense. We are alive: wouldn't it be a good use of life to do your best to take care of your surroundings, but still, you know, live?

You forgot vanilla extract. Although you would have wanted to start that about 6 months ago.

I like goats....but god that pink is hideous. I'd rather have it in almost any other colour.
