Personally, I live with my mom, who is a self professed packrat. But she's willing to work with me on getting our home to a cleaner, happier place, so I'm excited she agreed to the Cure.

Our family outbox is a corner on our closed in front porch. We were already using it for such, only we weren't calling it that. The first thing to go is a bunch of clothes I'm no longer wearing.

It's not incredibly bad. You only have to remember never to shift your furniture.

When I was twelve, I had bunkbeds, and made the mistake of changing which side faced the wall. I fell off the first night, thinking I going to lean against a wall.

That 221B phone case is killing me. I mean, I seriously had a fall.

As a student, I use my school colors (maroon and white) for school events, and my favorite color (blue) for personal events, inside of GCal

I happen to think that the older furniture used in schools are some of the best designed pieces I've come into contact with. There are chairs, desks and bookshelves in some schools that I've attended that were installed in the 1950's, in better condition than the cheap computer desks adjacent that were falling apart in 5 years.

This makes me mad. I liked it before.

I would have painted the ceiling and crown molding white, and let the kitchen be.

This home is beautiful. The owner doesn't try to be too modern or have lots of open space, so you get so much density without the space being crazy. I love it.
