I do have another question though! Just a few days ago, there was a post on great home design books to collect. But for the life of me I CANNOT find that post! I have hunted and just seem to be missing it. Can anyone provide a link?

Thank you for all of your bathroom comments, they are helped a lot to steer me in the right direction!

What is funny is I bought glass accessories (no picture on website) from Target a while ago, but as much as I loved them - they looked strange in my bathroom. We rent and the pedestal sink is pure white... and so are the walls... and so is the tub. Everything basically (except the floor). So the greenish color of the glass really didn't flow well. I figured I should go back and buy this type http://www.target.com/Cero-Spa-Lotion-Pump/dp/B000XGHCEI/ref=in_de_detail-buybox-with-variations/602-8488170-7924609.

Maybe I will rethink the white and try to find a glass toothbrush holder and glass soap pump. I like my towels so I will keep those (gold, yellow, orange, brown) and I like my shower curtain (http://www.target.com/White-Waffle-Weave-Fabric-Shower-Curtain/dp/B00023E5QA/qid=1218738891/ref=br_1_4/602-8488170-7924609?ie=UTF8&node=16305861&frombrowse=1&rh=&page=1)

But I will definitely think about adding a soft color on at least one wall.. and I want to add white shelves with wicker baskets to hold/store/hide things. Also I have been dying to get a pretty piece of white coral (even fake) on a shelf with a glass jar of sponges - to add to that spa feel!

Looking for ideas on bathroom accessories. My colors of my bathroom are: orange, yellow, gold, and brown (only colors are in the towels). The bathroom itself is white and so is the shower curtain. Should I stick with white accessories (toothbrush holder, garbage can, and soap pump) or should I go with silver? I want my bathroom to be tranquil and spa-like, because it is a pretty small city bathroom.

thank you for your input!

I was very surprised when I found this info out a few months back. I know that it is bad to directly have the cat swallow or apply the oils topically - but it is also bad to breathe them in (i.e. Glade Candles with essential oils, etc).

Good work AP!! I have been trying to spread the word on this for sometime now!

UGH. Being a college student, a few wrinkles are acceptable. But now that I got an internship at a hospital, I will have to iron weekly! This iron would be ammmazing!

We are moving into a 100 year old apartment and it has an old circular combination safe recessed into the bedroom wall! Makes me day dream of what could be hiding in there,... we don't know the combo so we can't open it!

The worst mess I have made in my home? Hmmm

Being a young stupid teenager and applying makeup on my parents carpeting...it left a ton of stains, and I had to use Resolve and a vacuum over and over.

hey... kristinaXI... can you tell me what color gray you have in your apartment? I came across the post, and love the color... but didn't think you would be checking that post again!

Thanks a bunch!!

Oh.. and the picture of this couch looks a little distorted online. It is really not as green/bright yellow as it seems to appear. It is more of a muted gold/beige color. It is a chenille fabric. I would LOVE a gray couch! Any suggestions on slipcovers (normally I hate how saggy and frumpy they look) but I am willing to try all my options!

thanks again!

Apartment Therapy Chicago | CHI Good Questions: Paint Color Suggestions?
7/9/08 4:37 PM

Thank you for all your comments! Many of those paint samples have already been discarded, as we have had a week or so to really look at them. We still were leaning toward green, but gray sounds so tempting to me! Or navy blue. My first choice would be to replace the sofa ASAP, but it is just not in the budget. Its not the best looking couch, but I am sure it is better than most college students (*sigh*). Keep the suggestions coming, we really appreciate all your help!
