Ditto the request for the source of those wall shelves- I had a similar one from ikea years ago- and they're really great all-around shelves for anything and everything.

What is this???

Close-ups of a PB&J, a remote control collection, and a toilet bowl/dirty bathroom tile? THREE photos of the inside of the refrigerator??

My 76 year old grandma put up every curtain rod in her entire home, I should let her know that she's "pretty handy around the house".

Yeah, I should have clarified that I was operating on the assumption that the heater was fixed, if she CAN move it I'd probably do something like this: http://imgur.com/nFv6h

Dear lord! I could cut the condescension with a knife!

It's as if this project could be the first time in history that a child survived to adulthood with the looming deathrap that is a window seat in their bedroom! Not to mention the curtains- didn't this woman know that the moment you find out you're pregnant you have to rip all the curtains out of your house?? And geez- who puts a LID on a toy storage box? It's like giving your toddler a guillotine... too bad no one has invented any sort of safety latch that could be affixed to doors and windows to keep children safe.

I also think it's also safe to say that (despite one poster's preternatural sense of interior design) a toddler isn't going to critique the decor for not being tailored enough ;)

Sarcasm aside, this is a super cute project, love the dreamy paper lamps. The only suggestion I'd make would be to play around with trim on the other edges of the box to help it blend in to the the other woodwork better.

I agree with option #3- close off the kitchen bar and put a wall across that end of the lounge. A bedroom REALLY needs a second means of egress in case of fire; and you can tell your brother that the stipulation of getting his own room is that he has to keep the floor clean enough for people to get out to the balcony!

Those Sylvania bulbs look different than the ones they used to make- but they've previously made very subtle bulbs which cast an incredibly gorgeous light- particularly for the bedroom!

I've always thought this type of implant was a cool idea (this isn't the first magnetic subdermal I've seen- though the one I've read about was in a fingertip, and allowed the owner to sense power fields when fixing computers or other electronic devices) but I agree with Seanirl, the pressure on the skin layer seems like a great way to help the magnet unsheath itself.

Your fish's fins aren't supposed to droop like that, PLEASE get a proper tank for your fish, with at least a plant and an air stone. Even a 2 gallon tank will make a Betta healthier than sitting in a wine glass :( They make stylish, compact tanks now and days: http://goo.gl/1b9LO

I *tried* banning my dog from the furniture when I first adopted him- I grew up in a family where the people usually sat on the floor while the dogs sprawled on the couches, and I was determined to have a "proper" house when I moved out on my own- considering that my dog was a newf/chow mix, I knew keeping up with pet hair was going to be formidable task. My resolve lasted about 4 months, until the first chilly fall evening; in the 7 years since, any time it falls below 50, the pup keeps me warm while lounging around. The only rule I've managed to stick to is that hes not allowed in the bed- my allergies and love of clean sheets prevailed on that one. He has his own bed at the foot of ours, but still pokes his face under the blankets to wake me up if i dont have breakfast ready by 6 sharp!

I'm using one of these while staying with relatives this summer/fall: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/60122471/#/20120884
Holds just enough stuff and collapses pretty small.
