seriously, 20 mins? it will take me longer just to put away the junk on the table - and what you call a "surface clean" is like spring cleaning for me!

i may keep watching for motivation, but if the first vid is any example, it's really for places that are pretty neat already...

chavelle, when a 50 yo single mom is too tired to clean after putting in a full day's work outside the home, she is NOT lazy, she's exhausted... please give yourself a break, and try to get your 11 yo to help around the house... good luck!

same old distressed stuff that i don't get... "if it's shabby, it isn't chic!" brocade does it better

ok eddy - i guess that explains the ugly desk and chair - nothing attractive about it at all

clearly tony and hillary's pod is the showstopper - but why, oh why ruin the streamlined, modern look of the apartment by topping the pod with curtains?! surely there are other options, e.g. sliding doors, one-way mirrors, honeycomb blinds, etc. that would better fit the overall design of the pod and the decor of the home...

maybe that was a debbie downerism.. oh well, can't unpost...

sorry, i don't get the tackle box bit - you can't see them in the photos

i can't believe such a simple idea as having the rod higer up makes such a difference! i HAVE to try that...

to those talking about litter boxes in small apartments, mine looks like a large planter with a nice silk fern on top... with the opening turned away from the room, one would never know it's a litter box (you could do your own thing with the top if you don't like silk plants - i have a black thumb so it works for me) google hidden litter or hiddnlitter(?)

fiddi - aboriginal art is absolutely right for traditional... think of the victorians - in that era, wealthy men would go on hunts and safaris all over the world, and brought back their artifacts to display.. they incorporated the art into rooms decorated with leather club chairs and persian rugs, etc... i have several afro/carribbean/indian statues that are displayed in my girly co-op!

will you please come over and build me things? this place is un**ingbelievable! you've made this wonderful family home in a 550sf studio, and i'm very jealous.
