A longer curtian rod will uncover the small windows, but still allow them to be covered at night.

If you want privacy during the day too, window film the two windows and two doors. If you are covering the entire window, I'm a fan of cutting the film two inches smaller than the window and centering it, so that there is a 1 inch strip of clean/un-filmed window all the way around. It looks nice AND so you can see out a bit, who is at the door, etc.

It sounds like you have some fun and memorable dinner parties with a great group of friends!

Everyday on the way to work, I drive past an apartment that has wine and other bottles lined up in every window. It doens't look too charming from the street, it looks like a a lot of fraternity guys live there.

I agree with the above. Ditch the bottles and keep the lables, or a group photo w/ the bottle, or the dated corks.

I agree with greenstacie! Navy or some type of dark blue and glossy white trim.

It reminds me of The Scream by Edvard Munch. So fantastic!

I really, really, really want to like Cottage Living (and their Idea House), but my hopeful expectations rarely lives up to the reality.

First, THANK YOU for doing somethign to improve the current slideshow method. I have been having a lot of trouble with it.

Comments: it would be great if it would all fit on one screen w/out any scrolling.
The "show thumbnails" feature (on my computer anyway) shows all the thumbnails for 5-ish seconds and then they all disappear again. Something is amiss.

I heard this on NPR on Friday, my co-worker and I were driving to a meeting and ended up talking about THe Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler for the entire drive.

How long do you think someone could live undetected in your house?

Best advice I ever received about garage sales:

Don't have them.

Just like the folks above said, the goal is to get rid of stuff. Money is icing on the cake.

You can make more money, in less time, with less hassle, by donating all to Goodwill and taking the tax deduction. Plus you don't have to post or remove signs, pay a permit fee, advertise, con friends into helping, or give up a beautiful weekend.

Years ago, I read an article about Carrie's apartment (most likely on a HBO/Sex &.. website); I remember that the "apartment" is painted with two layers: a sort of sage green and a lavender. All so the paint doesn’t look so flat.

I rented this movie last week, not great.
But haven't returned it b/c I keep watching the scenes that include the apartment. GREAT!!
The only thing I didn't like about the apartment was the bedside lamp that she bought as per instructed from the grave.

I like them all, but the one belonging to two people (I forgot their names) the best.

I've hung a full length mirror on the wall above my stairs. The stairwell is a bit dark, so it brightens it up.
And, it was one of the few places in the house that we could hang a big mirror, so now you can "multi task" and check out your day's outfit as you are heading down to breakfast.
