Citiquiet makes sound proof windows. I had a phone estimate done once for these windows, and surprisingly, they weren't too costly, considering what I'd get in the end—a quiet sanctuary to sleep in.


Soundproof Your Sleep: Tiered Solutions to Stop Street Noise Renters Solutions

I really like (!) this recipe, but after reading a couple of comments/questions about the shelf-life of the lemon juice, I think I'll tweak it by just adding lemon essential oil instead. But I do love this recipe. I've ordered a collection of essential oils the other day, and I can't wait for them to arrive so that I can start making cleaning solutions. Thank you!

10 Cleaning Tools Every Home Should Have

I completely agree with JMeena. I liked the warmth of the "before". To me, this "after" looks very cold and lacking soul. The kitchen before the remodel was warm and cozy. When I look at the after shot, it totally makes my eyes hurt; it's way too stark FOR ME! I hope the owners are happy, but I certainly do miss some of the elements of the old kitchen. New applicances and cabinets would've left the room with a bit of heart left. Too sterile, too brash, and too stark is what the "after" kitchen looks like in my opinion.


The World's Ugliest Condo: The Big Reveal Renovation Before & After

I absolutely agree with A.Hidden.Bird. Thanks for reading my mind! If while sleeping in separate beds your sex life dwindles, it's only because YOU wanted it to. Just because you find your life partner doesn't mean that you're compatible in all areas of life/lifestyle. I used to share the same bed with a guy whose body temperature was more like that of a boiling tea kettle. I need a cooler atmosphere in order to fall asleep soundly, whereas, he would practically build a bonfire in his bedroom, even if it was only a little chilly outside. I couldn't take it. And let's not talk about my waking up to hands roaming all over me and even dry h*mping. I would unfortunately have to practically scold him for that and then he'd be mad at me for a few days afterwards because his feelings were hurt. It's better to recognize and fix a problem in whatever way that works instead of allowing it to cause strife because you don't want to buck against what's considered "normal". Remember, normalcy is only relative anyway, so do you, and having a wonderful time at your 30th wedding anniversary dinner!
