I'm so inspired by this. Wonderful job.

I believe that all of those comments violated the commenting guidelines. They were simply not on topic. Criticism of AT can be directed at the editors. This is all highlighted in the comment policy below.

Wonderful! Might I suggest a good scrub of the bottom of your pans with some bar keeper's friend? Since you are displaying them and all.

Great!

I love to display flowers next to my bed, especially if they are a gift from someone special. Just something very lovely to wake up to.

While I think these are thoughtful gifts, I think that generally kids don't appreciate 'design' gifts that you see at a lot of indie gift shops. They would rather play with mass produced crap, frankly. Disappointing, but true.

I would love to hire a bartender for a party! I hosted a pretty large party early in the summer for about 30 people. It wasn't in my budget to actually hire a bartender, so I made a list of three cocktails that were relatively easy to serve up and matched the theme of the Bon Voyage party. One was the aviation, I recall. Anyway, I tried to premix ingredients as much as I could. With a list of only three simple cocktails, I was able to keep up with the demand and party goers could help themselves to beer and wine. It was a more casual outdoor party, though. I had co-hosts and help too.

If it's not in your budget, I advise to make a menu of three cocktails and stick to it.

This house is charmingly lived-in. Not staged lived-in, but I like that it's a little bit messy. My house certainly is. Cute!

The communal dorm kitchen was a disaster. People constantly left angry notes telling the women of our dorm to clean up after themselves like grown women to hexes put upon some the bitch who decided to slice into a freshly baked birthday cake. I myself left an angry note cursing the lady who stole my hummus and pita bread!

Ooooooh. I like the space above the cabinets for cute storage. Red and green are very pretty together.

Cabinet Hardware: Pick out some cool hardware that you will incorporate into your future remodeling. It sounds like your interested in eventually changing the cabinets, so this is a great option.

Stencil your backsplase. Pegboard backsplash.

These speakers are nice, but I don't mind quality vintage speakers (coming from a person who hates electronics).
