I use Photoshop Elements and have very good luck just using the "Remove Color Cast" tool. Although, sometimes you have to select different points in the image to get the result you want. But, since I don't know what I'm doing, it works well for me.

To save dark areas in the image, I make a duplicate layer (using a mask) and then "screen" the layers. This can be a lifesaver at times.

Great post and a wonderful technique everyone should know. I use the same technique to make crust out of breakfast cereal. My kids love the crazy colours of a Fruit Loop crust.

I agree - go for it. The other post is right on the mark...find a colour you like and then choose the next lighter shade. Yes, do 2 test patches - one by the window and one on the other side of the room. I would be most inclined to look at the off-white section of the fan deck for a colour.

I can just imagine how disruptive it would be to have the person in the middle have to get up from the table. I'll keep my chair, thanks.

They all look pretty but if you really work from home, they are a little impractical.

If I lived here, I would move the office to where the dining table is. Since there is bar seating at the kitchen, I would eat there and keep the bedroom a sanctuary without any office stuff. That's just me and my feelings.

Is that 3rd photo an example of how NOT to do it? I feel it looks out of place.

Otherwise, great tips. Even if your closet has doors, switching to all wooden hangers looks so nice!

I'm a big fan of the light-alarm. I have the Moonbean alarm clock and find I don't hit Snooze when I wake up to a light instead of a noisy alarm.

Planning a dinner party is fun yet challenging. I never invite people over who have food "issues". It may sound mean, but that's how I roll.

I wonder if they had to get a building permit for this. Our city loves to slap fines on people who do creative things for their children.

Our Easter is pretty typical...glazed ham, biscuits, salad, etc. I'm responsible for an asparagus boursin cheese tart and a fruit tart for dessert. There will be Cadbury Creme Eggs and a chocolate bunny, I'm sure of it.

I had people just give us gift card or certificates for stores were would actually use...Amazon, Crate&Barrel, REI. We are older and already have everything we could need so we kept it simple. Our guests appreciated the convenience and we get to buy fun stuff like books, music and dvds. Plus, the Amazon gift certificate doesn't expire so we use that as a little emergency fund...like when the circular saw broke and we needed another.

I think if you do a quick search for 1980's foods or menus, you will get lots of ideas. Or even find a cookbook that was popular in the 80's like Silver Pallet.

How about some track lighting on a dimmer to add some interest and highlight your art?

Great tips. Although, I do differ on my approach to the oil. I've been making granola for years with no oil at all. No one seems to miss it. Here's my recipe...
