LOVE NB and Gruene. I was there last year and fell in love. Great job!!

I also advise against MCMEs. They take years old paint off of walls very easily, if that's any indication of their abrasiveness. I have been able to get many scuffs off of my molded plastic chairs with Dawn on a wash cloth and a little elbow grease.

Love it. Love his toys--I have a few! And most of all, love Austin!!!!

Same thing happened to me. Best neighborhood in Chicago. Sunday afternoon at 3pm. Daylight. 55 degrees. Someone kicked in my back metal security door! I never lived it down and moved a few months later. I was never going to get over it and I still haven't in my new place. Post-traumatic stress disorder is ruling your thoughts. Perhaps talking to a therapist will help?

I know I'm not much help, but perhaps, in a few months if you don't feel better, you can just move into a similar apartment in a similar building?

While I appreciate the effort put in, I don't understand how one could *gut* their house and end up with something that looks so builder-grade. The furniture/accessories are nice/fine, but the finishes and fixtures are SOOO boring!

I loved that show the first season when Alex McLeod was on it. Then, when Paige took over, I about died. I couldn't stand her!!

As far as design is concerned, I think they were all terrible designers save for Genevieve and Laurie. Not that I would ever want Laurie's designs in my house, but I can appreciate that other people definitely would.

I LOVED Amy Wynn. I totally had a girl crush on her, too. She was so adorable!! I kind of had a girl crush on Alex, too, but then she disappeared into thin air and out came Paige from a cloud of marshmallows. Alex got a freaking emmy for being the host for chrissakes! I hope they didn't can her.

pretty. i love the paint colors and art work. the lockers are amazing, too. yellow is so under-used in babies' rooms.
great job!

You did an amazing job. You should be very proud!

This looks like the kitchen of a house my mom bought. She re-did hers on the cheap, too. It's amazing how much some white paint and new hardware on the cabinets can do.

Circa Ceramics is the best - I just noticed them on the list. I have a spoon rest from them and it's been the dishwasher a hundred times with no problems. Definitely recommend my hometown fave!

they look like the small plastic waste baskets from Ikea in the office dept.
