Once again, gendered biased research to show that women better fix up and take care of their stuff because they are the ones who spread more germs.

I wonder who funded this "research," it couldn't have possibly been one of the companies that sell antibacterial products could it have? No, because that never happens.

Common sense like washing your hands after using the bathroom or coming home is one thing, loading up on antibacterial sprays is another. Although I will admit, it drives me crazy when my partner puts down our market bags on the kitchen table, when I know those have been on the ground, on the metro, etc. Keep that on the floor, thanks.

@Hessilou: that is funny and great!

My deal is about to end soon. For 575$ I live in Montreal in a 4.5, which is a bedroom, a separate kitchen, a dining and living room, with two balconies.

It's in a row house by the Canal, and even though it is falling apart I love it's early 20th century charm. The floors are sinking and everything is on a slant, but I have a huge bright kitchen with 10 foot ceilings across the flat. A long hallway connects all the rooms, and casts long shadows.

Alas, it was sold last week and the new owner wants to gut the place so I will have to move. I know nothing like this will ever come my way.

Putting up a print (even in a frame) above the toilet seems so close to the shower thought. I would be afraid it would curdle with humidity. That is why I have no prints in mine.

How do you deal with all the steam and heat coming from your pots right below your cabinet?

I also have a stove without a cover/fan and I can't stand it, but I definitely wouldn't have anything above it.

I would love the color of the paint you used.

I am living in a rental with the same wood panels and I have been struggling over a year with what color to paint it. I want it white, but my partner says no, and I hate the ugly canary yellow that's on it now.

I'd have to say, I was hoping for something a bit more specific than I can read about on about.com... c'mon Apartment Therapy, this is so weaksauce.

Give us posts about shooting architecture, shooting food, shooting our homes, that's what we are here for, not for the cliche "there are no secrets."

Doesn't even seem like a real before/after. I concur with the previous commenters - if you're going to do a before/after, the whole point is to show us transformations.

@Madame Suggia Exactly what I couldn't stop thinking either. Incredibly lovely nevertheless, very much a style I'd love to have if I'm ever able to pay off my unsurmountable student loans.
