One time in college, I move a chair into my friends room to watch a movie and left it there. A few days later, I am watching 5 of them take turns trying to get the chair out of the room and they were all cursing because they could not get it out. They started to yell at me and I was sitting with my then girlfriend now wife and I finally said that I would bet them $20 that not only can I get it out the door, but I would not even touch the door frame. They laughed at me and said that each of them would give me $20 if I could do it without touching the door frame. I picked it up and did a crazy turn and rotate through the doorway followed by a flip and it worked. I turned around and they were all sitting there with mouths wide open. All I could say was "reach for your wallets!" My wife was rolling on the floor laughing. Sometimes all it takes is a little thinking. And a really light chair.

My dad wanted a few new knives and asked me to pick some out. I got him a couple of the Shun Classics and they are some of the best knives I have ever used. It is the amount of detail that goes into the handle. You can barely see the shaping in it, but when you feel it, you can feel the small changes in contour to fit your hand. Very nice Knife, and I have entered so that maybe I can get one for myself. Im jealous of my dad.

Could we vote on a new term to describe everything created now so that we stop getting confused. How about millenimodern... or how about Newfangled... or how about something completly new like fundtasticalign or smust. Just trying to bring a little humor to the argument.... sorry.

As much as you want to believe that the cabinets are original... they are not. Wood was finished with a finish that was not UV protecting so it has actually yellowed over time. If they are solid wood and not a veneer, try taking one and sanding the finish of and trying something in a satin finish. New finishes have UV protectants that do not yellow over time. My home had mahogany wood paneling throughout the whole house and it was all yellowed. I sanded it all down and refinished it, and now it is a rich reddish brown and a million time better. Everyone that sees it says they have never seen wood paneling look so great in a home. I bet your cabinets have a much richer color to them than you think. Remember that contrast was a great design element in that era when planning colors for the room.

I have a record player and my son who is two loves to listen to Ted Nugent and hendrix. We keep it in an old credenza with a hidden key locking mechanism. I modded the credenza with a vent and fan to keep all of the components cool when the cabinet is locked so he cant get in there and start messing with the tone arm. I am hoping that for my birthday, my wife is going to buy me a tube preamp kit that I can put together. We listen to a lot of Jazz and Blues on our record player.

who cares about the floor. your going to remove it right?

The problem is that your mirror is not too heavy. The problem is that right now you have a very dark wood and no accent pieces other than your bed spread and pillows. I think that a simple and cheap change would be to paint the walls of the room a color very SIMILAR, but not the same as the bedspread. you must leave the ceiling white. It will tone down the impact of the wood and it will also tie the room together a little more.
I think that if you wanted to replace the mirror, buy two mirrors that are the same and hang them portrait style on each side of the bed or do the same thing with some artwork. And do not forget to paint that wall.

I would agree with the Mat. I think that two Mats would be perfect. A bottom Mat that matches the teal with the Top Mat being a really thick white. Use Rag Mat, that is great. Very clean cuts and no lines in the beveled edge. I think that the bottom mat should be teal like the poster text, but only have a small amount showing. It will Make the text POP! You could also do a thick white bottom Mat, Teal middle Mat with a small reveal on them both, and a really thick Black Mat on top. You can also put spacers between the mats to create a little depth. It is true about Mats being used to separate the art from the glass. A lot of art needs to breath especially digital prints. Believe it or not, they can constantly be emitting small amounts of gasses, and after a few months, if the glass is against the art, then the gasses condense on the glass and if the art is touching the glass, it can act as a solvent and actually remove the art, from the paper.... But who cares if i will be tossed in a few years. That would be incredible irresponsible though. You paid good money for it so keep it.

It may be a little louder than a plastic shovel, but metal shovels work so much better than plastic. I use one that is about thirty tears old in chicago, and it cuts a real nice swath out of the snow, and you also get all of those pesky slush and icy spots under the snow. I will always pick metal.

I definitly agree that there should be some kind of grow lights or something to help with Vitamin E. Anything that helps plants grow indoor will be great for her. Not Low VOC, but NO VOC would be best. Everything used should have as little out gassing as possible. I know that she is probably not into skateboarding, but I love the idea that the floors and walls meld into each other with transitions. I love the idea of them and I would love to fill my whole house with them because I think that it removes the ideas of walls as being boundaries. A moon bounce would definitly be a bonus along with an inflatable velcro wall. I would love one of those water pistol shooting galleries like they have at carnivals where you shoot the ducks going by or it inflates a water balloon.
I know that these ideas might be kind of random, but the most important thing is that the room stays modular so that she can rearrange things. The worst thing to do to a child is to limit there creativity. A cool playhouse or slide or play area is only cool for five minutes if the child cannot move it around and make it what "they want". Oh yeah... do not forget the obligatory year supply of Oreos stashed in a secret hiding spot.
