Love - Of course I am not of the school of "Leave the wood". If you don't like it, change it so you can keep it. If it's so important to keep the wood and you don't like it, give it away.

I guess we were on the same wave length this weekend. My 10 minutes turned into a well-spent hour. The living room was bothering me. Standing at the top of the steps down into the room I realized that everything was revolving around the TV we never watch. I broke the space up into two separate seating areas and it's like I doubled the space. Now all I need is a great area rug and some new curtains and I will feel like I added a whole new room to the house! Has anyone tried those Safavieh rugs off of Walmart.com? They are pretty and I'm on a serious budget, but I am skeptical.

In answer to minimizing the electronics clutter; try stacking them neatly (like you would books) and use zip ties to shorten the cord mess in the back (usually it's the cords that look so darn messy). I did this with the DVR and two Nintendo game consoles (that I refuse to give up) and it looks more intentionally organized.

I love them all but cats are oh so finicky and unless I rub one all over myself to put my scent on it, they would only use it for a short period of time. I would love to see one of these that sits higher; maybe if the bed also offered a view of the squirrel & bird action outside, they would be more likely to use it longer! On another note; love all of these snuggly kitties!!

I have been looking for a graffiti artist, but this has no heart! Great graffiti straight from the heart is aweswome......I would love graffiti art in my upstairs hallway.

Thank you for this post. It is very timely for me. I have been comparing my home to others, forgetting that after a long search, there was a reason I chose this one. I am starting off my year cleaning and organizing and getting this place to what I visualized when I found it. Thanks!!

She had a good run, but younger audiences want fresher more modern design styles than Martha offers.

I totally agree with changing out the lighting, mirror and accessories, I was shocked at how these few changes made my beige tiled bathroom look almost brand new! It is true that the quality of light does effect how you see a color as well. This is absolutely true.

Well that sucks for those of us who don't "Facebook". I don't want to put myself out there online just to win a contest.

I think the island is a "work station". This seems to be a cute little crafts/work room judging from the supplies I see cleverly distributed throughout the room.
