The best thing about a decent second hand couch is after you have it professionally steam cleaned and delivered it is still cheaper than a new couch. Then when movers, kids and pets reck the couch you are less emotionally invested and can let life's accidents happen with grace.

Jiggling the toilet lever after flushing to keep the water from running. Wearing slippers to keep feet warm all the time. Being cautious about the number of electronic devises being used at once to keep from throwing the breaker switch. Walking into a dark room without turning the light switch on. Then reaching for a pull chord in the middle of the room or turning a lamp on.


Old House Habits Die Hard

I live in the captial city of Canada. I pay $871.00 for rent in a very small one bedroom apartment. It is an addition on the back end of an old home on the ground floor. When I moved in the stove top and oven didnt work, the fridge had mold growing in it, the cupboard were covered with a mustard coloured sludge, the ceiling leaked in rain storms, none of the windows opened, the communual laundry machine was blocked with water, the dryer didnt work and the neighbors dog peed on the carpet outside my door daily. They raise my rent every year. Everytime I get the itch to move I browse apartments on the internet where apartments like mine rent for $1200-$1400 a month. Things in my price range are usually basement apartments in bad locations. Then I get motivated and take the couple hundred dollars it would cost to move and put it into my apartment. Slowly but surely this place is turning into a great apartment. Good luck in your move!

Frankly though I think the amber crystals match your wood furniture.

There is a place in Ottawa Ontario Canada that carries a lot of Chandeliers. They have a bin of old discarded crystals that range in price. I would suggest contacting them to see if they have a lead on what you are looking for.

Hello,
In my many years as a tennant I have experienced many situations with inconsiderate neighbors ranging from noise to granbage and pet waste. The landlord or managment company may be able to move you to a similar unit or insulate her floor. In some cases there is not much you can do about noise and the stability of the apartment you have chosen to live in. If your landlord has no solution then I would do my best to accept the imperfections of the individual you live below or move. The stress of being unhappy in your home and with the people who surround you will do you more damage then a few hundred dollars on a moving company.
Good luck

I actually just came back from the Dominican Republic where my traveling partner got into a drunk scuffle with the resort security landing him in jail. Without my iPhone we would have never gotten back home. Be sure to travel with your iphone and ditch bad company!

I'm sure that these rocks are neat-o but the beauty of ice cubes is you don't have to have them shipped across the world to enjoy them. Which I feel makes them more environmentally friendly than Swedish rocks in my Canadian drink.

LOL!
I had to register an account because I was so bothered by people's negative comments.
Seems like the negative comments have sprung from artistic interior impotence...
This space truly is a gem I wouldn't change a thing.
Bravo!
