Ouch! You picked an apartment that doesn't reflect your sense of style - but that is no excuse to destroy what you don't understand. Please don't ruin this fireplace. If you insist on it's demise, then please carefully dismantle it and send it to me!

Move the matching armchair towards the door about 6 or 8 inches so that it doesn't feel like you're pretending to have a sectional sofa. Add a rug, get those extra pillows up off of the floor by stuffing them in a basket or some closet somewhere (same goes for the blanket on the chair), hang BIG ART, swap the little globe lamp for something taller, re-cover the throw pillows on the couch, flowers of course, and suddenly: wow, what a nice looking living room! You've already got fabulous bones there.

I stay drunk on Hot Toddy: 1 ounce of scotch, 1/2 ounce of spiced rum, 1/2 ounce of triple sec (or grand marnier - yum!), 1/2 ounce of lemon juice, a hefty dollop of honey, hot water to nearly fill the mug, and a camomile tea bag left to steep in the mixture for about five minutes - and then heartily wrung-out into the tea. Stir, and sip it down to the last drop.

We always make the bed together as a couple for this very reason! I see this as another great occasion for bonding with my special guy.

Definitely work with the blue, and also paint the ceiling to match. Go for something dark and moody. For example: http://www.colorcharts.org/ccorg/resources/results.aspx?find=T144-G7C4-9NRW

Pork ribs. No, really; I'm serious. Marinate the ribs for a couple of hours or even a full 24 hours in: half a pot of brewed coffee, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, a few cloves of crushed garlic, and a dash of: cinnamon, nutmeg, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Then put the ribs in a roasting pan with a lid (or topped with aluminum foil), pour the marinade back over top of the ribs, and roast them in a 300F oven for 3 hours, turning the ribs over in the marinade about halfway through. Oh so very yum.
