Is there somewhere else that people are posting? It seems like there was more conversation last year... Apartment Therapy Chicago | Spring Cure 2009: Discussion Board I Chicago |

I've been forcing myself to find the energy at night. Usually by the time my day is over, all I want to do is crash - but I'll never get this finished if I don't do it while I'm tired - so I force myself to start and usually get a second wind once I start. I'm about to go work on it now...hoping to knock 3 items off my list. That #$%^%% window is 90% done and I just want to do the last 10% and then never have to think about it again!

I'd hang some great art over the fireplace and consider painting the walls a color that pulls from the brick. Apartment Therapy New York | Good Questions: Suggestions for this Fireplace? |

In Chicago, there are two sets of rules - one for landlords who have fewer than 6 units and live on the premises, and a second set for landlords who have more than 6 units and/or live off-site. I am not aware of either of them having a clause that specifically requires painting - in fact, I'd be pretty surprised if that were the case. But you never know.

Finished priming and am halfway through the first coat of paint on the window...DH says he's going to do some outlets this afternoon. Progress is progress! Apartment Therapy Chicago | Spring Cure 2009: Discussion Board I Chicago |

OK, I admit it. I signed up and then haven't done anything at all for 3 weeks. I got sort of paralyzed because I'm trying to do the one room treatment but I kept getting distracted by all the cleaning/decluttering (which is so tempting because that needs to be done too) - but if I don't finish my family room, I'm going to have to shoot myself. So from now on, I'm going to focus on that and not get distracted by the "full" cure. Apartment Therapy Chicago | Spring Cure 2009: Discussion Board I Chicago |

I did paint brick. I know some of you would rather die than see brick painted (and some of my neighbors agree with you!) but I think my house looks a million times better now. Here's the before: Apartment Therapy DC | How To: Remove Paint from Brick#comments |

milk tea, thanks for the tips -- if you're still reading, I'm curious whether you just left the edges unfinished - I was thinking I'd cut two triangles for each flag and stitch them together - but simpler would be even better!

Any tips re. how you made the fabric penants? I'm about to try to make something very similar out of my daughters' baby clothes but I haven't sewed anything since 8th grade home ec class :) Apartment Therapy ohdeedoh | Nursery Tour: Penelope's Room |

I would paint the cabinets white, do something dark on the counters, check JCPenney for black chairs Apartment Therapy New York | NY Good Questions: How Should We Update Our Kitchen?#comments |

We did something similar and a good contractor was all we needed. That said, if you are doing a high-end remodel, an architect might be able to come up with something more elegant or cutting-edge. But if you're pretty sure you already have the plan, and just want someone to make sure it's viable and then execute on it, a good contractor is all you need and bringing anyone else in will just raise the price.

it is back sort of behind the playground - it's an incredible thing to stumble upon though, the last thing you'd expect to find there. Apartment Therapy Chicago | AT on . . .Neighborhood Parks |
