This is true, I have a slate blue bedroom and I fall asleep within 10 mins of getting into bed for the night.. I can sleep for a solid 8hrs on days when the alarm doesn't disturb

Ginger 'beer' that is consumed widely in the Caribbean is not actually 'beer'. It is this exactly.. You can find it in the international aisle of any market.

Try making the simple syrup with agave nectar or splenda, and just add to soda water.. I'd skip the yeast step in this instance.

I would just work with the ugly and paint uneven stripes or some garish designs using those colors. I think of bathrooms as little freaky boxes that should be a completely different experience from the rest of your apartment.

Good opportunity to just go wild on a smaller scale.

I feel like I should be wearing biker shorts and a jean jacket while doing the "Carlton" dance in there.

Salt--Another tour with way too many pics of wall hanging and tchotchkes. Takes away from the tour. I personally didnt like ANY of their wall hangings, so blah..
The tour did not show a complete home. Just 1 bedroom and a roof deck.. Something is a miss.
Sugar--Loved the exposed beams however, bedroom nightstanfs

Yup I agree . Too many pics of stuff, and not the 1,000 square feet of apartment that you occupy.

I love the fresh flowers everywhere. Such a nice touch. I like to keep them in my place as well even if just for my enjoyment.

Hmm. I leave the door open/cracked.. I have a weird window that goes to a out of use chimney that has a flock of birds living in it, so it says shut. I also leave the curtain halfway open and turn on the ceiling fan in the hallway.

Very cute, but sadly the rip-offs will soon begin. This looks so easy to make. The elbows and joiners and the little bit of pipe would cost around $25...

Well i would generally only reupholster a sofa that has a high value, or would be more expensive to replace. This sofa/ottaman seems pretty standard.
It will cost between $400 - $700 to get done. It will need new fabric, most like the springs will need to be restrung. 30+ year of old foam will need to be replaced, yards and yards of dacron + transporting cost.
