This is great. I wouldn't change a thing. We're renting, too, and embraced our pink and green tiles in the same way. I especially like both bedrooms. The monkey thing kind of freaks me out, but I couldn't stop look @ it. Alexis & Ian’s Designer Pad House Tour |

I hate a George Nelson for HM white laminate top coffee table with chrome legs. I have no children. The person I bought it from did and her kiddies fit chairs underneath it for coloring. It wipes clean from permanent markers with a magic eraser! In Search of the Perfect Family Coffee Table |

Life-long Chicagoan here. Yep! Chicago sucks. Its corrupt, has a terrible public school system, high crime (especially VIOLENT CRIME), high taxes, segregation, short summers, long winters, terrible traffic, etc. etc. etc. But most of all, TOO MANY TRANSPLANTS!.

I used to live on the first floor and my 3rd floor neighbors used to leave their stroller outside MY door--like they owned the hallway--without asking. Then, they would yell at me at every opportunity if my bike was so much as touching their portion of our storage area. Made me want to chuck their stroller into the street! Eventually, I told them they shouldn't feel entitled to leave their stroller in my space because they chose to procreate. Then, I began to rent a SFH instead.

I wonder how many babies died from, say, rocking horse accidents from 1985 to 2005. Not saying I'd use bumper pads, but I get annoyed by major hoopla over the darn things. No one freaks out over large stuffed animals. It'd be so easy for a baby to fall on one or crawl over to one and suffocate because they couldn't move themselves. Just sayin'.

The "before" is ok. I like the herringbone, but the amount of colors makes it way too busy. Before & After: Plain Dresser Gets a Fun Facelift |

Amen, brother or sister. This is my biggest problem with CL. I say "NO" frequently if people try to haggle when they show up. I say "take it or leave it. I have several back-ups" Do You Believe in Craigslist Karma? |

I don't print anything except postage labels for our business. But those are a huge ink suck. I honestly know no one who prints anymore. But that font is pretty cute :) Three Ways to Make Printer Ink Last Longer |
