When just painting one room I had good results using an artist's brush. I used a 15mm flat like this one:

Do this detail work first, then slap away!

First rule of design: just because you CAN doesn't mean you SHOULD.

My friend's mom has a story: She sold the family home where she'd been born and where the tree had been planted, retired to a smaller place in the same town, and the person who bought the old house cut down the tree to accommodate an addition. She said it felt odd to outlive one's tree.

This is WAY TO BIG to be a one-family home!

Most people who can't eat wheat also have trouble with oats. Even "gluten-free" oats.

Also check that the knife can lie on the edge of the plate the way people place it when they're not using it. We got Torun flatware which is beautiful but the knife won't stay put until you learn how to set it down. It's silly to have to explain this at a dinner party.

Luckily (???) our set got lost in one of our many moves.

I had a non-working (found out the hard way) fireplace in my first studio apartment. I installed a venetian blind "door" and hid the sewing machine and vacuum in there. I'm sure a nicer closure could be imagined by someone with a little more money to spare than I had back in the day!

Never hurts to add pink shiny fabrics to your little girl's indoor fort, or castle, or whatever it is. I bought a bunch on ebay.

Respect!
It looks like you kept the fridge. You can get a nicer one when this one breaks.

ACK! Don't use rubber cement which will stain the pages over time, and can cause nerve damage to boot!
