Please try McRoskey and Dux.

We had a Sleep Number Bed, but kept having issues with mold building up between the layers of foam and the air bladders, no matter how often we unzipped and aired out. Select Comfort sent us replacement foam and bladders, but not even that stopped the issue. When we started getting sick all the time (probably from breathing in spores), we replaced the Sleep Number with a Sultan Evje. It's been one of the best sleeping experiences we've ever had, but sadly Ikea discontinued it, and now that we have kids we would like to get a bigger bed.

On sale at my local Urban Outfitters today for $49. It's not perfectly sturdy, but looks great.

It reminds me of Monsters Inc. with all the doors. Very cute.

My suggestions:

* Change the trim to a warm white.

* Re-hang the art. There are plenty of instructions and ideas for layouts online.

* Find a smaller rug, or get Kid-Friendly Flor tiles in a neutral color.

* Bring in pillows and accessories in yellows, blues, whites, and grays.

Still looking for the Etsy artwork... Maybe the artist is listed in your "Purchases" history?

Sublime! That sofa is to die for!

This wouldn't happen to be one of those cute little cottages next to the park with the pond... would it? I drive past those almost everyday, and can't help but wonder and romanticize about their interiors.

Fantastic house, the layout reminds me of my mother-in-law's, which I love. Also, we have that exact peep hole on our front door!

I just realized, the edges aren't uneven.

It looks like the tiles shifted. The effect doesn't bother me, but the uneven edges would make me go bonkers!

I love the way you used the Woods wallpaper! I've been contemplating stretching it over frames myself. I'm definitely going to do it now, I love the effect.

Love this room! The bed looks oh so cozy, and like the perfect spot to curl up and read or take a snooze. Great job!

The after is very nice, but the before wasn't terrible. I guess I have a soft spot for all things grandma.

You have no idea how many layers of wallpaper or paint are there, and stripping could be dangerous and very time consuming. But if at all possible try to check a spot that will be hidden by furniture.

Two or less layers of wallpaper, you should be fine. Three or more and you could be asking for trouble if you have drywall. I have seen houses that paper on the drywall itself failed under the weight of paint and wallpaper and left a huge crumbling white mess!

The wallpaper may not be pretty, but if the place is only temporary I'm not sure I would risk it. Besides, painted over wallpaper is not pretty - it bubbles and peels, and the seams look terrible.

We have the BiUbe with goldfish and live plants. It has been the healthiest aquarium we've had despite it's small size. I change the water and the filter a little more often than the instructions say I can get away with, just because goldfish are really messy. Overall it's been a great tank, and it's fantastic to look at.
