I just got mine, and I love it so far.

I'm coming a little late to the party...this is my first smart phone! I was intending to buy the iphone but the Samsung really impressed me and I like the slightly larger size.

To save battery power, I installed the Juice Extender app so that your phone isn't constantly updating while sleeping. I think there are other apps too, to help extend the life of your battery.

I especially like the predictive text feature. It's like "drawing" your words! You drag your finger from letter to letter to spell a word, rather than than tapping each letter. Super quick.

Bunk beds are great. My sister and I had bunk beds growing up. The older one always gets the top (or gets to pick). When we did get our own rooms, the bunk beds became two twin beds. They lasted forever!
It's pretty hard to fall out of bed with the new style of railings. Ours had a piece of wood that rested on the edge. I did fall out once, but only once.
Bunk beds are like having a tree house in your room. So fun! And you can make blanket forts. Great for sleepovers. I loved it when my mom would have to climb the ladder to kiss me goodnight.
I'm getting nostalgic now!


Are Bunkbeds Worth It?

I agree. Don't.
Even if you did have a small stack of wood in the house, you'd never stack it in a white cubby, like all of the ones in the pictures. It would look messy in no time.

Love the 7up sign as a sliding door, and love that there is so much natural light in the house.
Great tour!

I saw this in House & Home magazine as well, but the pictures here are much more "real life". Gorgeous style! I like that he has a place to tuck the office clutter under his dining table/ office desk, and the fact that in his beautiful home, he actually has clutter too!

Nicely done. I'd love to see how the red or gray concrete stain looks on brick. Great idea for an exterior treatment too, if you have brick and don't want to paint it.

What a gorgeous apartment with tons of personality! A perfect balance of old and new. Love the wood baseboards and window casements throughout the house, along with some of the rooms having painted molding. A perfect example of being able to do both without it looking disjointed. Kudos!

This must be just a goofy, tongue-in-cheek post. (?) It looks like an April Fool's Day gag.

Some nice towels and accessories, and you're good to go! (pun intended!)

Great job.
