I have a very similar vanity mirror situation and with lots of shiny brass trim and fixtures. This must have really been the shit back in the 90s! I just had to replace the faucet and was stumped as to what to do with the brassy mirror trim and light fixture. It was too big a job for me to take on a total reno at this time. I ended up painting the trim and stupid Hollywood dressing room light fixture silver for now. It's actually much better and less obvious than the brass was. My sink and vanity are separate from the rest of the bathroom so, for now, I just shut the door on that part of the brass-tastic bathroom.

Oh, I like this idea. I might have to try it..

This is so nice and I wish I could have one! It would be quite an improvement over the long cord running from the computer to the tinny little speakers in the living room.

@Portlandrules--I agree with you too.

The best part of this tour for me is seeing a home with baseboard heaters. I am always struggling with placing furniture in my condo because of those stupid things. This is a great example for me of just going for it and not worrying about the placement.

Finally , an place with bikes that look like they are actually used for biking and not just as hip decor! Dirt on the walls and all!

Oh, you are so lucky to have a dedicate parking place! I felt like my whole life was about parking for the few months I lived in SF. I can remember moving my car every few days and occasionally parking practically a mile away from my home!

I love what this guy is doing!

Hey, I re-purposed a shelving unit like that white one you have. Mine was the larger one, but it fit perfectly in the dead space side area of my closet. Now there are items on shelves, instead of stacked on top of each other. Much easier to access. Just a suggestion.

I use three Indian scarves from the 60s in my bedroom to hide my desk. I love them. I didn't know what to do with them for awhile (too bright and metallic to wear, really) until I realized they would look great hanging from the ceiling. I even decoupaged the cute 1960s box lid from the box they came in. And now I enjoy them instead of them languishing in a drawer or closet unseen.
