I have a friend who's obsessed with the 1970s and his kitchen is orange and glossy black - it looks really good. I would say a black splashback would work really well. What Should I Do with These Crazy Orange Counters? Good Questions Flag this comment	5/16/12 5:46 PM
I really like the light fitting in the bedroom. Is it vintage? Christopher's Queen Anne Flat House Call Flag this comment	5/16/12 2:35 AM
Thanks again guys, keep the ideas coming! I'm so embarrassed though that everyone thinks the clutter is mine and especially that filthy rug! I wish I'd said in my original email that the photos were of the previous occupant's stuff! A workmate suggested just putting new tiles on top of the old ones, before ripping it all out next year. I could get enough plain white tiles for about £15 (I'm in the UK) so it wouldn't cost much at all. Has anyone ever tried tiling over existing tiles?

Wow, so excited to see my question posted! Thanks for all the replies. I should have said that this isn't our stuff in the photos, it belongs to the previous occupant, I stole the photos from the estate agent's listing. There is no way I could live with all that horrible clutter! The thing that someone thought was a dishwasher - that's actually an under the counter fridge and we will probably have to live with that until we renovate because there's nowhere to put our big fridge freezer. There's no dishwasher (no big deal, we've never had one). Above the stove is an extractor fan (hidden by a small cabinet front) so we can't put anything underneath it as it'll block it. Oh and the vinyl tiles on the floor are in really bad condition and are beyond cleaning - they are very ripped and have been laid on top of other tiles (also ripped). The house was (I think) built in the 1980s so it's not a period home. Thanks again for all your ideas :) Short Term Updates for Kitchen Being Reno-ed Next Year?

I bought my husband a Sodastream for his birthday last year, and it turned out to be one of his favourite presents ever! I use it a lot just for making fizzy water. Wish we had one like this, that told you how much CO2 was left - although I'm not sure I could deal with one that was any bigger than our current model.

Danish pastry dough (when I make it I double up and freeze half). Peas. Prawns. Gnocchi, bagged up iinto enough for me and my husband for one meal. Breadcrumbs. Berries. Whatever meat I've managed to buy on special offer and then frozen to use later. Also the bowl of my ice cream maker, which has to be frozen for 24 hours before use. I try to keep it in there permanently so it's always ready. We use our freezer a lot, and I want to buy another smallish one to keep in the garage so I can start doing more batch cooking.

I used to bake professionally so I've made lots of muffins in my time! I do a similar thing with a slight difference - I preheat the oven to about 220ºC (about 430ºF), put the muffins in and IMMEDIATELY turn the oven down to 200ºC (about 390ºF). Muffins in a normal-sized tin take 20 minutes in my oven, and always turn out perfectly with a beautifully domed top.

I'm in the UK and am always jealous when I hear about US magazines that I can't afford! I subscribe to Jamie Oliver which I love, the recipes and photography are gorgeous. I also subscribe to Olive, and end up buying BBC Good Food and Delicious almost every month. Out of them all, Jamie is my favourite. Can You Recommend Some New Food Magazines?

We bought a bread machine last September when we moved to a house with a kitchen big enough to store it. We haven't bought any bread since, and it's so simple that even my culinary-challenged husband can use it and produce lovely bread. I'm trying to wean myself off it and do it by hand instead, but I think we'll always keep it so my husband can make bread when I can't be bothered/haven't got time.

I did this recently and was amazed at how much I saved. It also made me realise how many DVDs and art supplies and stuff I'd bought previously and never watched or used. I think I'm going to have another non-spending week next week. As an aside, I absolutely love those dishes in the fridge in the photo :) Apartment Therapy Los Angeles \| Try It Out: Survivor Week!

This is the first one I've liked so much I've actually voted! (I know, that's terrible, I'm lazy.) I love the layout and that very nice floor. Apartment Therapy New York \| Small Cool 2009: Sarah's Jackson Heights Studio Tiny Division #54 Flag this comment	4/17/09 12:41 PM
Oh, now this takes me back. In the UK we had something similar called Fashion Wheel: http://tinyurl.com/c7tslk But Fashion Plates looks even cooler. Framing the drawings is a great idea. Wonder if I can get one on ebay! Apartment Therapy ohdeedoh \| Fashion Plates Flag this comment	4/16/09 5:14 PM
That sleeping loft looks so cosy and comfy. Must be lovely to be able to move house whenever you are bored of your surroundings! Apartment Therapy San Francisco \| Small Cool 2009: Jay's Tumbleweed House Teeny-tiny Division #13 Flag this comment	4/13/09 10:10 AM
