I wish someone would do this for me, so that I could get my own chores done. And I'm the adult in the house.

Last week I ordered a black and white chevron rug because the price was GREAT and I thought it looked pretty cool. Then I found out the next day that chevron was out. :P Then I went to Target and chevron was everywhere. So I guess that explains why it's suddenly uncool.

I'm doing this! I'm moving into an apartment this fall that I haven't so much as seen a picture of the interior. (I've seen the outside, and it's fine, the neighborhood is fine.) All I know is that it has two bedrooms.

I'm nervous, but really, it's all I can afford and it's in a good safe location, so it will have to work. *fingers crossed*

I'm Gen Y, and everyone I know gardens. Of course, we live in a rural area where everyone has a yard, so that makes it simple. I'm getting ready to live in an apartment, so no garden for me next year. :(

I agree with those who replace the shower head and toilet seat. I ALWAYS do this, and usually leave the upgrades behind. It isn't very expensive, and I love having a fresh, clean new shower head and toilet seat every four or five years. (It's also when I replace my bed pillows and broom.)

I don't like granite, either. I rent, and my countertops are laminate, and they look like butcher block. Not ideal, but I actually don't hate them. I would far prefer real butcher block.

I'm trying to find a rental right now, and it is IMPOSSIBLE to find one in my price range, and if I could find one with granite countertops I wouldn't complain even one little bit. I WOULD complain about tile, because I think they would be a massive pain in the butt. (I would complain, but I'd still jump on it because of the impossible task of finding ANYWHERE I can afford, but I'd still complain.)

I like the pie crust that comes in a roll, and you simply unroll and put in your own pie plate. It looks more like homemade, and it is tasty.

Just FYI, I've seen similar knobs to what Anthropologie sells at Pier 1. I have no idea what the quality is on the knobs from either store, but just thought I'd throw it out there for people on a budget. :)

I definitely would keep that lino! What a cool fun color.

I'd probably skip the wallpaper though. I do think it would be a bit of a pattern overload.

And yeah, add a rug near his bed. :)

"The thing that bothers me is that in the photo, the labels clearly do not match the specimens!"

Yes! I just couldn't figure out why the thing in the middle was labeled grasshopper (and then I noticed the other two) and it totally distracted me from anything else.
