Before & After: Family Room Gets a Colorful Update Domestic Daddy

i love it. I am sick of the notion that you set up house, and then never change it again. I could take a little of these florals contrasted with some geometric art, and other modern pieces. then when I tire of florals i'll simply change it. Many fear wallpaper, but to me its a great accent that really isn't hard to change.

this post was completely pointless. The picture gave the most useful info.

You don't need a white wall or a "sturdy" handmade frame. to do it cheap all you need is a light colored top sheet and some clothes pins. fold the corners over tree branches or gutters and pin with clothes pins.
cause lets be honest, this experience isn't really about picture quality.

I think it is clear that people that describe couponing as "disgusting" have never had to make a decision about whether you will be able to feed your family or heat your home in the same month.

As a mother who has been laid off from 3 jobs in the last five years, I can sympathize with doing whatever to takes to get the food on the table.

and kudos to those who "only eat fresh food" you should feel blessed that you are capable of having that lifestyle.

those pics are ridiculous. I have never seen a dorm room with hardwood floors, and the walls of ever dorm i have ever been in were cinder block, so hanging anything up was a challenge.

When i lived in michigan i didn't know anyone who allowed shoes to be worn in the house. Snow and carpet never mix. I also never felt the need to provide slippers or "nice socks" for guests. The point is that since the shoes stay at the door the floors are clean enough to brave without extra precautions.

I would say if your having a large gathering lighten up on the no shoes business and concentrate on having a good time. no one like a hostess who badgers people to take their shoes off.

plus you would have to have enough room to accommodate all your guests shoes without people tripping over them to get in the door.

I am totally with slowdown on this one,

I quit getting fashion and home decor magazines and it has saved me a bundle, not just because of the cost of the mags, but all the crap they are designed to make you want to buy.

I find that my satisfaction level with my home is much more consistent when i am not urged to buy new crap every month.

plus my live in boyfriend is thrilled that there are no more stacks of mags lying around everywhere.

If you actually read the post the chest isn't actually made from the old army foot locker.

The mom was grossed out by the smell of it and went to home depot and built her own.

$135? that thing better jump off the wall and do some dishes for that price.

I love my bikes, but they hang off a $2 rubber covered hook i grabbed at the hardware store.

And you know what? they have never complained.

I la la la love this house, I love the way you used chain mail armor as art, and all the lovely quirky photos. The space is amazing!

I sympathize with the big tv, but i agree that when a home is as lovely as this, people won't notice.
