EmilyTherese's Profile

I've done this twice: Once in NYC I moved one block west after my building's management company dropped the ball on a gas leak that led to carbon monoxide poisoning. Found the new place on craigslist and moved the whole place on a wheeled dolly over the course of that week. It was a relatively stress-free move.

More recently I moved two buildings over about 9 months into my one-year lease, because my landlord had an apartment three times the size of mine become available for only $40/month more. I couldn't pass it up, and though it was awful moving such a short distance (read: small trips) in snowy December, It has definitely been worth it.

Though it is cute, I agree with @Hazel8 ... if you're making lunch for children, why on earth would you deliberately use misspellings? Poor spelling isn't something one should be reinforcing for children, particularly not on purpose. Two more letters for the Back2School wouldn't have been a burden. Between purposeful misspelling, encouraging eating crayons, and discouraging doing homework, this kids got an uphill battle for the future. Yikes.

Eh. Very nice job, but I prefer the before.

I can't see painting this wood piece because it wasn't in rough shape to begin with. Refinishing it in could have been gorgeous, maybe with contrasting stain for a two-tone look on the details...

I picked up a cherimoya on a whim once and absolutely fell in love.

I was intrigued by these after seeing them for sale at Michaels, but did find that watching something (even mechanical) struggle to escape made me sad.

ChristineRogers- Considering how many animals are in shelters and euthanized every day, it seems unrealistic to consider keeping pets a selfish thing to do. Opening your home to an animal in need and giving it a better life is a generous thing to do, if anything.

LOVE it!

Get an ozone generator.

I actually like it- it has a sort of quirky, vintage vibe. Though I don't like the kitchen cabinets at all, it IS cohesive and that surprises me with such daring choices. I generally oppose wallpaper (and dislike florals) but this apartment looks like the set of an Anthropologie catalog shoot, which I would expect to be better received than the previous comments indicate.
