Thank you! I was wondering at everyone complaining about how "hot" a duvet is, and how they use a sheet + blanket in the summer. I was so confused as to why they just didn't leave the duvet-filling in a closet and use the cover by itself!!!

Disclaimer: that is what I do. I have a chest at the bottom of the bed where the duvet goes during hot months, and in the winter it goes inside the duvet cover.

For me, the presence of pets means that a top sheet under the duvet cover would not reduce the # of duvet washings... tho the sheet protects the duvet from me, the kitty hair is all over the duvet. :)

As someone who grew up in a haunted house, I can say for certain that spirits of some kind are definitely real. Yet, I have known numerous places where someone committed suicide wherein there have never been any supernatural feelings or encounters by anyone.

So, I agree with many of the other comments here: go with your gut. If the house feels happy, then go for it! I think any troubled previous occupants would appreciate seeing someone bring joy into the house!

Changing the wall art, covering the phone port, brightening with a mirror, adding a convenient key hook, and decluttering...a few little things really improved the corner.

Some people can only afford cube shelving or it has to fill a spot while we wait to find that perfect (and affordable) matching table.

I'm confused by the suggestions to move the shelf elsewhere... if it's really that ugly, won't it just uglify the new spot as well?

My all purpose product is Dove beauty bars (note that Dove is a detergent, not a regular soap). I use it to clean my skin via a loofah, shave, and wash my hair. I have very fine, very oily hair. Dove does a great job of cleaning it while still leaving enough oils to control the fly-away strands (no conditioner needed!). It probably isn't a good fit for everyone, but it has been a god send to me!

Re lip balm, that is one item I'll never judge or debate with people about... because severely chapped lips really hurt!!!! Maybe it is like training your hair to clean itself and eventually your lips will learn to hydrate themselves. However, greasy hair for a few weeks doesn't hurt. Lip balm is cheap and minor indulgence to avoid major discomfort. I really don't like pain. :-D
