I've never understood what makes murphy beds so expensive. Is it the hardware?

I put a coat rack in a corner of my bedroom, and it helps to catch those odd things like my purse, jacket, jeans, etc. that would otherwise get tossed on (in my case) the bench waiting for the next use. It's still clutter, but it feels better to me this way.

If you plan on staying there for a while, the electric radient heating systems for under rugs or carpeting really help, but they're not cheap.

If I receive something that I don't like, or that I already have one of, I put a sticky note on it indicating who gave it to me and when. Just one rule: gift must be from/to two people who do not know each other.

Even as compact as these are, I think they'd tend to be cold since there's no curtain or glass to help keep in the nice warm air created from the water.

Love those glass tunnels. Still wondering... how do they handle the litter boxes?

I'm with you Patrick, I've never liked the name either . How about First Friday (of holiday season)?

I love it when I go to people's houses and tell me what project they are working on, what they just finished, or what they have planned. I don't view it as a dissatisfaction with their home, but rather an interest and involvement with their home. That's the kind of people I enjoy.

That's what I did, hung a frame around it, within a grouping. Most people don't even notice, and when they do, they always smile.

When I was a kid, it was my job to defrost the freezer on an occasional Sat morning. We had an old kirby cannister vacuum that you could switch the hose around and it would turn into a blower. I remember standing there holding that thing and watching the ice turn into water, I could make the melting ice into sculpture. lol Nice memory, actually.

I think the "trick" is to stop the debate with yourself. It has to become non-negotiable. A daily task that is as non-negotiable as brushing your teeth in the morning is. And takes about the same amount of time.

That's the kind of store I'd like to own - an old time hardware store. My uncle had one, I could spend hours there as a child looking at the bins of pipe fittings.

I've been researching Skimstone - it's non toxic. It might work on your stairs to just cover it all up. What I've read says it wears extremely well

Any one have experience with it? I'm considering putting it on drywall for in a bathroom instead of tile.

As long as both agree and feelings aren't hurt and it makes things better... you bet!

I have this image of a too-hot for bare feet surface. How warm is it really?

It's helps me to define myself as "I am an organized person" - this doesn't mean perfect, just means it's something I strive for daily. I find if I slip into labeling myself as unorganized, then I'm more likely to practice that.

What's to the left of the sink - I was thinking a mirror on that back wall, but curious as to what it might reflect from the other side of the room?

Also, if there happens to be electrical within reach, a towel warmer would be wonderful on that shower wall.
