Until Microsoft removes the requirement to have a Gold membership to use services such as Netflix you will always be paying a premium to use it as a home media hub.

Until this requirement is removed we won't be buying an Xbox, and instead will continue using our PS3 (or maybe PS4) for a universal home media hub.

We did this, and were glad of it. One problem we ran into was where the tub was chipped underneath the door. We also found out that one wall was rotted when it pulled off an entire tile section.

A recommendation would be to visit Bertie's Closet on Etsy:

$40.00 will get you a very cute/nice looking Macbook sleeve: http://www.etsy.com/listing/80036900/macbook-pro-sleeve-13-inch-laptop-cover?ref=pr_shop

Do you have a blog with pictures of the entry way afterwards?

I may be crazy, but I haven't found a light I like nearly as much as the GE Reveal bulb. So far we've been saving the environment through dimmer switches instead.

I'd add hallways to that list. We have this one, albeit short, hallway that has exactly 0 lighting.

We re-carpeted our stairs due to a nervous pregnant wife. We went with a very low pile berber carpet. It definitely offers a better grip than our non carpeted stairs.

Personally I would be fine with it. We have a 3 story home (its a very odd skinny layout) with the attic located on the 3rd story above our office and kids room. I fear the water heater breaking. Would much rather if there was an issue, it occur in our yard.

I'd def consider a tankless for this reason alone when we replace ours.

Houses like this make me long for a smaller neat and tidy abode. Well done!

$150,000 ish for home purchase and renovation = wow.

Yikes, I think the dresser cost more than our entire nursery which included a large credenza (craiglist and restored), a wall unit (trashed from foreclosed home and cleaned up), crib and changing table from target, and poang chair (ikea).
