I noticed the AA book right next to the bar, am I a bad person for laughing?

Like the other posters, I'd suggest a beautiful statement tile installation. Mosaic, glass, coloured penny tile....the options are endless. Would love to see what you settle on! Good luck.

P.S. I like the range hood.


How To Dress Up Cooktop Alcove? Good Questions

I might be the only one to say 'Leave it'. I think it's dated and would cost a small fortune to reupholster. I love a vintage find as much as the next gal, but this doesn't seem worth the effort and expense to me. Whatever floats your boat, though!


Take or Leave This Craigslist Find? Good Questions

1. say 'see ya!' to the palm trees, you can head south if you want to see palm trees again.
2. Toss the little blue mats and replace them with just one larger striped or geometric rug to cover the linoleum tiles.
3. Paint out the cabinets in a chocolate brown, it'd look great against the blue tiles-that's a classic combo.
4. If you could splurge on it, replacing the faux marble counter would be a good idea. I'd keep it light in colour though.

@LindseyMKM-I wonder if your request has slipped through somebody's cyber fingers. I requested an invite last month and was pinning away the next day. I think it's crazy that you're STILL waiting, maybe you could sign up for another free email addy and request another invite? You're kinda missing out, Pinterest is amazing.

Honestly! Grammar correction? Is this how you get your rocks off? That's obnoxious. It must be wonderful to be incapable of errors. I'm happy for you.

Daring indeed! Love the floors, love the open concept layout. He's got some nice tiles and artwork. Aside from a few elements, this place does not float my boat. Seriously? Did he wallpaper OVER his windows? That's caaaa-razy. Props to him for creativity and really making this space his very own.

I love the print above the mantle, why not take a cue from that cool blue in the centre? The browns, creams and pops of red in your space would look lovely against a robin's egg blue. If the robin's egg is a little TOO blue, maybe try a blue-grey shade?

I'm having a flipping panic attack just looking at the photos. No thanks, I'll take a big fat pass on this one.


Clearly Special: A Hotel Bedroom Under the Sea

Obviously, it's best to have both function and comfort eh? His couch is definately sexy but I'm with you. Comfort trumps style for me every time. I think you're not doing that beige bad boy any justice in this pic. It's not a big investment to buy some colourful, graphic cushions and a throw to make that comfy couch shine. Maybe your next apartment will have space in another room for your man's couch-that way, it doesn't have to be a goner.

skip 'em. The simplistic look you've got now really works for your space and allows in light while maintaining privacy.

Lovely space, but I'm wondering what else could be done with the TV? Seeing a TV plopped into the corner of a room, beside a fireplace, is my pet peeve. I'm trying to think of clever options for my own place.
