DO NOT paint the walls black in this bathroom. It will make it look too creepy.

chang the light fixture, this will make a ton of difference in the look of the room.

Purchase a sink with a vanity because, i don't like seeing the underneath pipes of a sink (I did that in my rental).

Scrub all surfaces with bleach cleaner. It will make a world of difference.

White cotton or subtle print shower curtain, white towels and mat.

This is the same problem they had during history in old medieval castles in Europe, very cold stone castles.
They used those huge thick tapestries on the walls as insulation.

I would hang tapestries, rugs or woolen blankets, or those quilted movers blankets over the concrete during the winter.

Books by color is only appropriate if you use your books for decorating, and never need them for reference.
Otherwise it's a nightmare.

I agree with Curtis,
You don't need to do anything but paint the wall with the correct paint to enhance the innate decorative beauty of the wall.
That is enough.

Idea rip-off from the sculptor Johnny Swing.
He's been using coins for over a decade.

What's up with that.
Now we know what to buy the Obama's if we visit the White House, a very large casual rectangle table cloth for pizza day!

Absolutely the Perfect choice!
The color is appropriate for the period the chairs were made.

Macy's has an endless choice.
Something classic with no patterns on it would be my choice.

You rarely use the china so get something that makes you happy to use with your everyday dishes.

Just make sure the fixture you choose has a plate large enough to cover the hole in your ceiling.
Take this one down and measure the hole.

changing this is such a no brainier that anything will look better.
Little money, go to Home Depot and choosing any thing would look better and more appropriate to hang over your table.

I too happend to read both articles in the Times. Both seem like women you would want to know.

I was moved by Dixie and her new husbands story.
A New York City love story if ever there was one, and how perfect that they're keeping their separate apartments for the time being, that is recipe for a very long happy marriage to live under different roofs M-F.

Best to both of them on their adventures.

Are all three radiators working?

It seems like a lot of heat for such a little room.

Mr Dangerous,
I agree with you.
If April was not sitting in the room no one would be kind.

It's the girl we all think is cute and smartly dressed. NOT her taste in home decor!

I agree with your philosophy about furniture.
You made some suburb beautiful choices in furniture.

buy very well and what you adore, because classic good furniture endures, and will being you joy for many decades.

It 's nice you found a rental with such beautiful woodwork and high ceilings. It seems you have to live within in the confines of the owners odd kitchen layout.

Your choice in furnishings has won my heart!

Unless you want to redo the whole room stop calling it a "Modern Beach House" .

It's nice room.
The only real change needed is a new coffee table. Something a lighter with a glass top.

Come on!
This has to be a joke.
This is my mother-in-laws furniture in Flatbush Brooklyn!
All that is missing to complete the look is plastic on the furniture and a plastic runner on the carpet.

What's the problem?
Is this the actual room?
What is a "more brightly colored room"?

Paint the walls a Putty color if you want something else besides stark white walls.
