How did they let you paint the walls? I did paint our UofC grad housing kitchen, but the walls... would have loved to do that! Kelly and Michael's Light and Bright Abode House Tour |

Well done! We're also in UofC housing (Chicago Arms building- moving out in a month though (:); I recognize the floor, kitchen...oh, what a challenge to make it work, but you did it! Kelly and Michael's Light and Bright Abode House Tour |

free coffee with your IKEA card = lifesaver. So are free Monday breakfasts- the restaurant is where I'll drop my husband with book when we hit IKEA for stuff (: IKEA Meltdowns: Do They Happen To You? |

I also like IVAR the best; mine are painted white and look sooo good! (: Also, the flexibility is amazing; in one corner of my apartment I build over a radiator with the IVAR system- no Billy can do that! Wall Shelving: Resources, Tips & Tricks Weekend Shoppers Guide |

I find books and bookcases full of them are the most challenging design element in a home; they provide a lot of visual clutter and colors that hardly match any decor colors you have. It doesn't really help I live in a tiny place; we have 5.5 full bookcases in a 550sqft apartment. We arrange by size to get the most books in a bookcase, so in our current place no color arranging. Honestly, I think color arranging could work, really depending on amount of books a color. But living in a paint swatch...I don't know... Ideally I'd have a library in my home to keep the rest of the spaces serene and light. Or, putting them in a hallway....well I'll keep dreaming (: In Defense of: Organizing Books by Color |

I also prefer the window side, whatever side that may be. Although if I ever were to be a mom, we would have to swab sides, since there is no way the crib can be on window side and I'll probably be the one up all night (: Could You Be Sleeping on the Wrong Side of the Bed? Daily Mail |

Interesting post-- My husband (student) and I (freelancer) try to take it by the semester; when he has a busy semester, I do more cores and when I teach or have a lot of jobs coming in, he does more cores. Right now I do most of it, I actually enjoy it. Deep down I'm such a homemaker and use 'my turn' to do some additional redecorating/thorough cleaning. (: Home Ec.: What is Your Housework Worth? |

Living in different countries makes you learn so much! As a European I also grew up with an electric kettle, but switched to a stove top one as soon as I got married- so much better! They last forever and you can use it everywhere around the globe (no specific power outlet). Also, they usually look way better. I have an Italian design one and a Dansk one- no electric kettle can tip that! What I like about the States is build in closet space- so smart and green! Instead of purchasing huge closets that will you'll have to slep all over the place when you move and pray they fit in your new place- built in ones are such a green solution and so easy.. They should build them in European homes as well (as they did before 1960ies). Cultural Exchange: Lessons to Learn from Australian Homes |

The broom method is the best. We tried to be nice to our loud tv neighbors, but they will not come to the door and talk (instead they talk to each other that the guy has to quiet down--probably not aware we hear every single word). So, the 2nd time we banged the door, third time use the broom. Seems to help. 7 Tips for Keeping the Peace (and Quiet) With Noisy Neighbors |

Kinda pointless- this germ obsession is causing more trouble that protection. That's why kids these day's have so many allergies and folks not getting immune to 'normal' germs; all because of over-sanitizing.
