What can I say, I'm in Geneva, Switzerland ... one of the most expensive cities in the world (_particularly_ because of the rents) and the second-best in terms of salaries. Unfortunately I'm paid by a foreign organization so I don't get to the second part ;)
Still more attractive than most of european cities, less clean than you'd expect and a bit quieter than you'd like; not too much though!

As usually ... thank you! A few ordered tips can bring the motivation one has been looking for.

There are two words that describe how I feel about this article:
Thank you.

(It'll take some preparation though -- actually I realized while reading that big part of my cleaning problems is not storing the "tools" in the most optimal way.)

Eeeeck, I hate when this happens... You can't call this a renovation if the only thing kept is the outer walls! Just call it a great space, but before/after makes it all so meaningless.

Ehm... all these are advises for how to make others' mailboxes lighter (and half of them are dorkily annoying -- asking for a permission before sending an attachment? what? I'd try to get rid of such a person in my life asap), not for how to make our mailboxes lighter as the title implied... However, the badge is cool.

All this before-after posts make me realize a very important rule for interior photography:
If you like it, use good light and tidy up. If you don't, use bad light and b-class objects.

As a cyberpunk lover, I really hate seeing "leet speak" in the same sentence as "princess as a password". What is the world coming to?

PS: Then again, Bruce Sterling said once that if it is on Wired's cover today, it'll be on teenage girls' t-shirts in fifteen years.

I think you are exaggerating. Especially with the "use your cell phone instead of security alarm panels in the entryway" part. Oh, yes, and with the part about a lovely old couple not watching tv on their porch (have you never seen people sitting on their balconies on warm summer nights enjoying their meal in front of a tv before? even being a purist should have some limits)

I was going to say the same as the first comment, I thought these rugs are kind of all-over-the-world folk-modern pieces. Here in Greece their name also means "the tatter ones" :)
That being said, I really like the specific blue hues in the pics.

Whatever you do, make sure it's still 80ish - you won't find a floor plan like this anymore ;)

The first pic might be nice but I can't help thinking "open-air closet = NO closet"... Simply too much dust.

First, your advice is really great, original and practical!

Second, where has Design Seeds been all these years?!

I can proudly say that the best decorating idea I've ever had was painting one of the living room walls in purple :) (The rest is light yellow. Yes, it looks terrific.)
