Anyone know what that paint color is?? It's lovely!

Lovely floors. What a beautiful, rich color!

Ok, so they're not my neighbors, but my string quartet does this every week before our rehearsal! We have a cooking rotation, so no one feels like they're being put upon. It lets us catch up on the personal stuff AND the business stuff (we play a fair number of gigs), and since everyone is coming from work, it makes it so we all get a good meal before we have to spend the next two hours rehearsing. The only thing that isn't rotated (though I still get help with this since we are always at my house)? Dish duty....

I have a similar issue! I keep the instruments I use most often and feel are display worthy hung on the wall (I highly recommend String Swing wall mounts). The bigger stuff (ie: my cello) lives on a stand that sits on the floor so it's still easily accessible and on display.

WOW....I wish you were my landlord! Mine is not nearly so conscientious (sp?) about fixing/replacing things to make the home more liveable.

I bought a microfiber suede loveseat in college. It was inexpensive, and while it wasn't my favorite, it was what I could afford at the time. I didn't expect it to last long, but nearly six years later, it still looks great. My dog (even when he was a puppy) was not able to leave stains and all I have to do to clean the hair up is vacuum it. It has also survived several moves (including one cross-country). I would love to eventually get something more attractive (it DOES have that "cheap" sort of look to it), but I have to say that it has been a wonderfully practical couch, if not a terribly attractive one.
