I've never met a cat owner who announces, "My home smells like cat butt and I'm proud of it!" Nope, every last one claims otherwise. Meanwhile, the funk is like the force, always with them (it's not just the house that can be malodorous...). Tips for Living in a Small Space with Pets (aka: Don't Be the \"Smelly House Friend\") |

Staging definitely comes down to the price point. Most properties could benefit from a deep clean plus storage, a dumpster, &/or selling/donating "stuff." Edit + delete = a better ROI than a stager for properties under $500K. That said, an hour with a professional "rearranger" would be a great service, if such a thing exists.

This isn't "popping up," it's a common & traditional practice that may or may not have to do with space limitations. Plenty of people share a room - or bed, for that matter - with their infant because they want to, not because they have to. Decor Tips for Sharing the Master Bedroom with Baby |

Most places I've stayed in Europe and Africa don't use shower curtains or any kind of partition. Sometimes the rooms stay dry, sometimes they don't. I remember wishing I'd brought a hook with me on my first trip through Europe, but I've packed one ever since. Before & After: Mandy's Handsome Bath Reno Canadian House & Home |

Yes, some NYC renters do renovations to properties in which they are tenants, not owners. The landlords will sometimes give a break on rent (like Maxwell's), buy materials or pay for labor. For the owners, they're getting a tenant who obviously cares for the property and an upgrade. The tenants are getting to personalize their space.

The photo of the mustard stovetop, tea kettle and cast iron pans made me think of my Grandma. I got all weepy thinking about how such a beautiful woman gave me so much love. I wish the same for both of you. Thanks for sharing! Matt & Andy's More Perfect (Eclectic-Modern) Union House Tour |

I went in search of a mattress a few months ago, full of dread. Really, it's worse than buying a car. After reading Maxwell's posts (and the comments), I really wanted one of those $15K horsehair/made-for-you/never-have-another-nightmare/better-than-you've ever-slept numbers. Back in the real world, this stomach sleeper headed to IKEA and Macy's, not wanting to "negotiate" with other mattress sellers. Lessons Learned: Reliving Maxwell's \"A Year in Bed\" |
