Remove that mess, ASAP. My guess would be your landlord does not like it either, but did not want to spend the time/money to have it removed prior to you moving in. Good luck!! How To Revamp Old, Broken Built-Ins? Good Questions |

I love the dishrack! The fact that this detail is not immediately apparent speaks volumes as to the ingenuity of the design. I grew up in a fabulously customized MCM home (sigh), I truly hope your family loves its MCM roots :) Toby & Samy's Mid-Century Makeover House Tour |

Your house is lovely, and appears to be in great shape! One major issue that pops immediately is (sorry!) the furniture itself. We live in a beautiful home built in 1932, very similar in scale to what you have, and as soon as we got rid of the overly large stuffed sofas and chairs we had no trouble finding inspiration for color scheme and accessories. I understand the budget constraints as well, maybe go with some frugal-friendly vintage pieces that are more to scale for an older home? It may now sound soooo cliche, but Craigslist is a great resource for this! Good luck! Design Help for My 1920's House? Good Questions |

Lovely!! I was recently in Portland, and I found that while the Pacific NW may be renowned for being dreary and rainy, I experienced the breathtaking crisp sunlight, such as what can be seen in your garden and streaming through your windows. Penelope and Nathan's Full–Hearted Eclectic Green Tour |

Hmmm, I find your use of grey absolutely stunning, and really surprised that some viewers seemed to have missed the "pops" of color. AND that is one bitchin' pantry you've got there, way to go! :) Amanda & Lincoln's Eclectic Modern Home House Tour |

Ahem, Nebraska does not "suck", thank you very much "bluepuppybites". Either come to terms with your choice to live where you live, or you can always go somewhere else. I grew up, moved away, and came back to live in Nebraska and find great thrift and antique stores in every town I have been to. Plus, "most" of the people who live here are friendly, creative, and down to earth. Do You Have Travel Shopping Destinations? |

Agreed, white. With all the busy-ness of the furniture, white will give your space fresh simplicity and not compete with the colors and textures. You will probably be able to find a "warm white" that will compliment the furniture nicely! Paint Colors with This Living Room Set? Good Questions |
