I'm with Kelly T- 9 by Design was more fun because we saw so much more of their lives. I hope they loosen up a bit after this first show...

We do a lot of work in our house and kitty thinks that any drop cloth left on the floor is an invitation to pee, for some reason. Scrubbing the floors with natural bleach alternative has worked very well when the enzymes aren't doing the job. As a landlord, I would never dream of renting a house before I resolved that issue! You should ABSOLUTELY negotiate lower rent.

Lonely Planet- all the way. Got me around the world for 20 months, I depended on their books daily... and recommendations of locals and other travelers.

The page flipping noise was driving me CRAZY until I figured out how to turn it off... (Look under Settings)
I'm still looking for a Domino replacement. Not a big fan of the online magazine format.
Living, Etc. is such a big investment for a magazine, I wish we could just bring Domino back...

First one. I have a blueish-gray kitchen, too! We have darker gray cabinets and an orange accent wall. Looks very modern.

Craxy- for beautiful hand-beaded jewelry.

I have a few potted plants on mine, but it is mostly used for my cat. She loves to watch the neighborhood from above and I can leave the window open without worrying about her going anywhere.

I think you should choose two shades of grey that lean towards blue for the walls and woodwork. That would look great with your furniture and it'd allow for continuity between rooms.
The red, blue and yellow are too primary colors for me.
I'd also try to arrange the pictures differently- you could make a nice gallery of frames above that couch and it would fill in the space nicely.
I like the other room, but resist the temptation to hang pictures directly in the center of the box that is made by the moulding... Perhaps try a cluster of pictures or nothing at all. The painted moulding is already a nice wall design.

At any major hardware store you can get contact paper-like film that can be adhered to your window. I think that someone makes it with designs in it, too. But you can also make designs in it pretty easily yourself.
The idea is that you can still get light in your room, but your window is no longer transparent.

It looks like the soil you have in the pot could be the kind they use in hanging planters that dries out very quickly (seems to have little pieces of styrofoam in it). Try switching to something more organic that will hold the water a bit more.
Succulents really should do well in the sun and without a lot of water....
