Seriously, finding a pan to cook eggs in without losing half the egg IS THE HARDEST THING EVER.
I bought a mini egg pan thinking it would be nice to have one egg in the morning. It sucks

I will take recommendations

Jeez. I love it. Partially because I hate white furniture. If I got a free couch or an ikea slip cover I would let our almost 4 year old at it. Then again I would start doodling at the opposite corner also.

Very dangerous! My friend just lost the entire bottom floor of his house and probably all his possession in a fire started by a battery charger.

Bahaha I want that print. It is my favorite color so it is always "in" at my house. I finally found a quilt that incorporates it with pink and orange and is lovely.

My favorite retro style was when they were trying to be modern and sleek so these don't fight with what you want to do. Can you share some photos of what style you like? Vintage can mean anything.
Its all about the accessories. Rug, throws, pillows and lamps.
You could certainly paint the shelves or glue some patterned paper inside.
If the chair is white, in addition to a nice pillow, I would stamp some flowers on it with just a foam stamp and some craft paint. Or get a stencil and do a big design.

Put the TV on a stand where the ____ is between the living room and dinette. Basically put the couch where the living room is written and make that the foyer behind. That way people can walk behind the couch and still get to all the other areas. And the tv will be a visual barrier separating the living and dining area.

To do this cheaply- Ruffly girly pillowcases. A couple of yards of faux fur for the end of the bed. Restyle the bedside table to put the candles on top.
I also like the idea of a canopy + twinkle lights.

That kitchen is lovely. The cabinets look like wood, not orange. Are you changing the backsplash?
I would second the rug comment and suggest maybe painting the brick to get it to blend in more. And a lot more lighting.

Ohhh that high gloss wall is pretty. My last apartment probably had satin paint in the bathroom and I hated it!!! My hair would literally cling like crazy everywhere! I had to go in and dust the very top of the walls because moisture+dust+ clingy white wall= dirty.

It is quite girly, I don't know if there is a way around that. Yet to me the 5th photo of the dining room is the only one that is really TOO much.


Pink and Purple: Do or Don't?

Wow. My family proudly let me hang up all of the ornaments I made in school. I doubt they still do that, but how does it make your child feel to say aww that's nice you made me something but I am going to hide it!
I even broke some of the glass ornaments! I hate those perfectly designed trees. They are hideous and impersonal.
Do you have family photos hanging in your house? Or do they clash with your design style?

I don't like most shades of green but these are all fabulous. Love painting the ceiling idea, especially in a baby room, they spend a lot of time looking up there!

Is the other side of the door also purple? Because then it is awesome. Love the glittery stool. Very interesting chandelier.
I reallllly want to put white sticker dots over the screws on the square in the ceiling. Details I know, but it would drive me crazy.

Really? They are guests in YOUR house. Do you paint the room every time someone is coming over with a different favorite color than you?

Love the color, it is so dark it is almost neutral to let the art shine. I like the unframed look of the art and the fun pulls on an ikea looking dresser.
Only problem is the bed being against the wall. What if two people are sleeping over and one needs to get up in the middle of the night!
