Why not just say "price?" Why "price point?" This means nothing to me.

This stuff is everywhere. Don't worry about it, but also don't do anything like drill a hole in it.

OMG this is such a bad idea in so many ways. First of all, no plant would do well in the dark under a sink. Second, why would you need to "purify the air" in a bathroom, which has, we would hope, some sort of exhaust vent? Third, really, this species with its sharp pointy ends? Fourth, good comment about danger to pets.

All well and good, but we prefer to eat lunch over our keyboards and just toss them when the mice start gnawing at them.

Really cute house and I love the color in the kitchen!

Hey, Apartment Therapy--do these folks a favor: the photos could have been curated a little better. Could have very well done without 1 (could we just start with 2?), 8 (can already see this in 7),17 (really? Twisted shower curtain liner?), and 33 (just some old pots and bricks).

Put a nice top on it and then add an accent thing-y, a sculpture, cool tall light, big vase with dried weeds, etc.

First and foremost: this is not your problem, it is the painter's problem. Was this a professional company? Then go straight to the management! They should pay for the repair. If you get no satisfaction, report them to the BBB. Then, get a matching Pantone marker and do it yourself. Good luck!!

Austin Community College (in Austin, of course) used to have a terrific upholstery class. I took it (actually had to take two sessions!) and reupholstered my grandmother's club chair completely from top to bottom. Total, including the class fee and a leftover bolt of lovely cotton velvet they had for $5/yard, I did the whole thing for a third of the going professional costs. It was great fun and I developed a great appreciation for good upholsterers.

This is possibly the most perfect house I could imagine for myself. Colors, black accents, incorporation of antiques, etc. Have uploaded most of the images to copy, the highest form of flattery! Oh, and then I see it's outside my old home town--of course!!
