I can see why people complain about lowering the level of light. Look at the difference in your two pictures. With Drapes is certainly dark, even with them in the "open" mode. I guess I'd have gone for sheers to the ceiling, no puddling on the floor and from wall to wall (covering that strip of wall in the middle). Some privacy, less light blockage, and a much more modern look. I have to say I dislike your choice of hardware. It's so WalMart-like. Apartment Therapy on Covering Your Windows Renovation Diary |

I'm sorry it was done because we would have loved it as is in the US, but I can understand it was bland for it's origin. Obviously a lot of work on this piece, and the end result is interesting. Before & After: An Art Deco Makeover Akicsihaz |

People praising $300+ per serving flatware always make me wonder how many sets were "gifted" for the review? Chambly Silver Baguette |

Of course parents can raise children in inner city apartments. It's not like they're being abusive. That said, let's not pretend it's the same as having your own private fenced in backyard where you can play without having to walk blocks, or take a subway, or plan for every weather contingency be carrying extra clothes.

Certainly a big improvement over a shopping cart and a piece of cardboard on the sidewalk. Unfortunately the homeless probably couldn't afford one. Tiny Trailer Home Pulled by Bike Design News 04.12.13 |

I get the open shelving in the kitchen, but the next renter may hate you for taking our the bedroom closet. Personally I have no desire to sleep next to my clothes on shelves. Maxwell & Ursula's Light Rental Reno: Inspiration - #3 Renovation Diary |

While I love the look, they've replaced a fireplace insert which was heat efficient with an open wood burning space that is not, and which will become filthy the first time it's used. Soot and white walls are not a good mix. There's a reason why most fireplaces have some sort of stone or marble surround. Before & After: Corner Fireplace Update A Schematic Life |

Move. In fact you should have moved after the first year. Look, there's lots of well meaning advice we can give you, but the fact is, this isn't going to change.

I've heard over and over again, how durable bamboo is. I don't get it? My corporation did industrial strength bamboo flooring in the elevator vestibules and within 6 days there were high heel divits everywhere! Blew my mind. Maybe bamboo doesn't scratch easily, but it sure dents if anyone wears heels. Bamboo, Cork, or Wood Flooring for (Future) Dog Owners? Good Questions |

Totally skeevy. This is the first product I've seen that actually makes you feel filthy using soap. Maybe they stay clean in private homes, but in public places they make you feel like you need to use sanitizer after washing. Ewwwww. Provendi Rotating Soap Fixture |
