My stepdad made custom screens for our windows - he made a frame out of wood that fit in the open window and then stapled mosquito net taught all around it. Keeping Bugs Out with Windows Open? Good Questions |

One thing I noticed in Amsterdam (and the rest of Holland) is that lots of the windows were outlined in black AND white, so the windows (with their pretty lace and windowboxes, natch!) really popped against the brick - look http://annabelvita.com/2011/11/03/looking-pretty-trim/ Amsterdam Chic: The Beauty of Basic Black |

@ben27 thanks so much! I think that all makes sense. I'm trying to figure out a way to make the perfect console table with shelving to go behind our sofa - yours is very inspiring. Rebecca's Magical Platforms Small Cool Contest |

Hi Rebecca - I'm really interested in how your partner made those shelves - I've only seen guides using American plumbing supplies - is there any way you could let me know? Rebecca's Magical Platforms Small Cool Contest |

The only perk for me is the ability to choose where to live based on RIGHT NOW. Our current flat will not suit us in a year or two, but RIGHT NOW it's perfect. If we were buying, we'd have had to choose a place that would work long term. What Amazing Perks Do You Have as a Renter? Reader Survey |

Oh god, I lived in a student rental that had this stuff in place of tile in the bathroom. It was gross. Lots of bugs would get behind it and there was no way of getting them out! Cheap & Cool Renovation Resource: Corrugated Plastic |

I love this look! I noticed in holland that all the windows were doubled up in black and white - it made them really pop and i think that's the same thing at work here: http://annabelvita.com/looking-pretty-trim Try This: Double Up Your Frames For Extra Color |
