Some open shelves instead of cabinets on either side of the window would help lighten the room. And of course painting the rest of the cabinets a light color would be nice as well. Ideas for Going White and Bright in Galley Kitchen? Good Questions |

I actually do know all of my neighbors, at least on my block. We sit on each other's porches, watch each other's kids, go to parties and yes I have personally borrowed a cup of sugar! It's kind of wonderful! Do You Know Your Neighbors? |

Our room was our daughter's and we switched so I love that is painted like a magical forest complete with glowing stars and fairies when the lights are turned off : ) I don't have the heart to paint over it. Mostly because it took me a month to paint! What Do You Love About Your Bedroom? |

Found one! Bed From Janelle Monae's Tightrope Video? Good Questions |

It's an old no-frills bed probably from the 20's or 30's. I have a double that is very similar that I bought 15 years ago at a thrift store. They tend to rust and fitting supports for it are a challenge because the size is slightly different but it shouldn't be too hard to fit something like it. But they weigh a TON! So bring help.

You're obviously not alone on this! I can't count the number of times I yell out "$2800! What are you thinking!" or "Dear god someone had that in their house!". But I have to say the misspellings and frightening grammar are my pet peeves. I really can't stand the nasty posts people put up though, I really don't understand who has so much extra time in their life that they can start little wars over the items for sale. I think the pets section is the worst! I have never seen so many self righteous asses in my life. But still I go back everyday : ) Do You Suffer from Craigslist Elitist Syndrome? |

As a fellow Buffalonian, especially on a super snowy day like today, I would keep it on the lighter side. Winter is long! Plus we have the best thrift stores here.
