okay-- I thought it was just my pregnant brain, but I feel better now seeing other comments. I was so excited to make these and I followed the recipe to a tee-- the dough was like cake batter-- no way I was going to be able to out it on the counter and pat it out to cut. So I poured it into the pan as it was-- it baked like a cake, but it was dense like bread pudding-- it was quite terrible. And the measurements for the glaze are way off too-- I followed the recipe for that without thinking, and it was so watery! What a waste of ingredients. Most of it ended up in the garbage :(

Black and white photos would li=ook great in there. There are plenty of "old school" b & w phtotos that aren't super feminine, such as old modeling photo shoots (Richard Avedon phots come to mind...)

I just bought a light green one (identical!) from Meijer (in Michigan) last week on clearance for $11.99! It was in their garden section near the planters, etc....

I'd like to give it three stars, but the buttons arent' working...
This is GREAT! I want one for myself! My apartment has no overhead hardwire fixtures so I have been stuck buying the cords and bulbs from Ikea and hooking them to the ceiling. Something like this would have been perfect!

As a (cost conscious) interior designer I have the following suggestions:
Paint the trim white
Lower your art work- the sofa will seem less lonely...
Find accessories that tie the blue and yellow together

They're similar suggestions to others already made- why? because they're good ideas! And they're simple solutions that won't cost you a ton of time or money.

The commercial furniture manufacturer called ICF Source does a molded laminate chair-- a lot of laminate companies have custom capabilities, so you could do a cutomer's own laminate on this chair (the Luna armchair):

There is also a company called Stylex that also makes a chair of bent ply- ironically, also called the Luna. There has been some talk from the manufacturer that there is a capability to put fabrics/ custom logos, etc. underneath a clear melamine layer on these chairs. I am sure if you called their customer service, they could see what can be done for you...

I hope this helps!

There are sofas and loveseats from a company called Moroso that look a lot like this-- it is contract furniture so it is quite costly and a designer would have to buy it for you, but will last forever...

There was a posting recently of some creative ways to obscure shower windows with contact paper and other creative materials. You should look at that and see if you can find any inspiration.

Apartment Therapy New York | Good Questions: Alternatives for This Frosted Glass?

I'd be interested to see what it would look like if you really tried to incorprate it into the overall decor. For example- select only 3 or 4 colored markers that coordinate with the room.... That way it may not look so much like the babysitter fell asleep....
