jppedi's Profile

The best part of trifold mirrors is that you can angle them in order to see your profile and sometimes even the back of your head. Crucial for those complicated hair-dos!

This is a perfectly lovely home, but there is absolutely NOTHING pictured here that hints at Taipei, a wonderfully vibrant and colorful city. I'm not sure I see the point of "exciting" international submissions that look like they could be from Anywhere, USA.

I love reading everyone else's stories! I too desperately wanted one, even though I never was really into dolls. My Chinese immigrant parents were totally befuddled. Eventually I got one - the only left on the shelf. I was disappointed to find that it was a bald baby named Imogen Jane. I couldn't even pronounce that until an old lady standing nearby helped me out. Probably played with that thing for like a year, and then it got tossed aside.

But does anyone else remember the Garbage Pail Kids???

@happy birthday: Hard-sided bassinets are not an issue because it's hard to block off air circulation against a hard surface. Imagine holding a pillow over your face, vs holding a book.

What's with all the haters? The before was awful despite the quirky-cute floors, and the after is simply beautiful. Tubs are big gross monstrosities that are annoying to clean, and this is so much better. I love the tile in the shower - such a clean, unfussy and modern look, and carrying it all up to the ceiling makes the room feel bigger. I could do without the huge square toilet, though the 6'3"" homeowner probably appreciates it. This is a great remodel.

I used the Scandinavian Design Center window films for both my kitchen and bathroom. I was skeptical too, but was pleasantly surprised by the results. The bigger panels for the kitchen windows were a little more difficult to put up (trapped lots of pug hair, which for some reason seems to be constantly floating through the air in our apt), but the film worked great for the little window in our shower. I used the one with the geraniums and even though I hate all things cute, I am totally in love with how the window looks now.

Where is that 3-pronged floor lamp from? I love it!

I want to know more about the photo collage too! And a full tour would be great.

Cute! I don't have an iPad, but have noticed this with my iPhone. Way to make it artistic.

I miss this show so much. I LOVED the crazy outrageous rooms (especially those by Hildi and Doug!) - there isn't anything nearly as exciting on HGTV/TLC nowadays. Genevieve's design show is utterly boring compared to what she created on Trading Spaces.

Didn't care for Alex - much preferred the sunny Paige, despite my general disdain for all things perky. Paige was the glue that bound the show together.
