Hi, Casey here. Thanks so much for sharing my project! The wrapping did indeed take a while to do, but I spread it out over a week or so, wrapping here and there in the evenings while I watched tv. I just used a clip to keep it from unraveling when I needed a break. @LSUgrad: I don't have any cats, so I'm not sure how the twine would hold up if it was chewed. :) DIY Idea: Colorful String Cord Covers Flag this comment	4/4/13 3:29 PM
Beautiful room! I especially love the headboard, the lamps, and the art above the bed. Well done! Lauren's Favorite Place Bedroom My Bedroom Retreat Contest Flag this comment	3/13/13 6:17 PM
Beautiful space! I love that mirror and, of course, the wallpaper. Sarah's Perfect Place Bedroom My Bedroom Retreat Contest Flag this comment	3/7/13 3:33 PM
Wow, that kitchen/dining area is an exact replica of the one I had in a 1930's spanish style apartment in downtown San Jose. Except mine was 'renovated' with faux wood-grain laminate countertops. Yeesh. This one is much nicer. :) Renovation Resource: 9 Sources for Antique & Reproduction Hardware Flag this comment	2/20/13 4:58 PM
I work full time and additionally run my handmade businesses out of my little one bedroom place. Things have gotten a bit chaotic in there with the holiday orders! I just passed my holiday shipping deadline and am so looking forward to getting everything back into place and spiffed up again. I'm also trying to live more like a minimalist, so I need to do a serious purge. I can't wait to get started! Join Us & Get Organized in 2013: The January Cure! Flag this comment	12/19/12 1:24 PM
San Jose, CA Currently paying $1750/mo for a 2 br/1 ba duplex with a small yard and 1 car garage. Low end for a 2 br: $1600 High: $1800 That said, I'm signing a leas for a 1 br/1 ba apartment in Los Gatos tomorrow for $1250/mo. It's difficult to find a decent 1 br in a nice area of Silicon Valley for less than $1200. Not so hard if you don't mind cockroaches. :) What's the Highest & Lowest Rent You'd Pay in Your City?

I put the tree up whenever I get a chance, but never take it down before January 7th. Yes, the 12 days of Christmas start on Christmas, not before! O Tannenbaum: When Do You Put Up Your Tree? Flag this comment	12/8/11 4:19 PM
I just painted my bedroom something similar to #2. I'm really liking it! It makes the room look so much larger, too. A Touch of Color: Pale Bedroom Walls Flag this comment	8/24/11 7:09 PM
Those are so pretty! I especially like the ones with blues and greens. They would look great with a single structural plant, like a specimen cactus or a snake plant. Handmade Ceramic Pots by Esther Pottery Flag this comment	8/18/11 5:58 PM
My boyfriend and I have been in our "new" place for 5 months now. That means 5 months of living with our terrible reddish-brown bedroom walls. I painted my office first. Since we didn't "live" in there it was easier to get that project done. Just a couple of days ago I broke out the primer and started painting the brown. I only got about 1/4th of the walls primed, but I figured it's just enough motivation to force me to finish the job. I feel better in there already! The reward will be looking in there and never seeing that brown again. When Home Projects Take Over Your Life Flag this comment	8/17/11 4:41 PM
The only things I have ever found in my apartments are a Playboy (college girls edition) and a horrible ceramic music box with roses and bible verses on it. I had no use for either! I wish I found those cool hangers instead. It Came With The Place: Inherited Treasures Flag this comment	7/19/11 3:16 PM
The first airstream is so lovely. That would be a nice way to camp! My parents had an airstream-esque trailer when I was growing up, which they sadly sold. I would have loved to get my hands on it as an adult. I also love teardrops of all kinds. I’m planning on getting one to pull with my MINI Cooper. :) 10 Homes on the Move Flag this comment	7/8/11 12:19 PM
A I've seen American chairs like this on Antiques Road Show! The finish looks like its original from its dark color and brighter worn spots where the person would sit and touch the wood. It would also be much more valuable if it had the original woven seat. Can You Tell Which Chair Costs More Than a New Car? Design Quiz Flag this comment	6/30/11 3:18 PM

Wow, what a cool idea! That would be an inexpensive way to bring in some graphic color to the house warming party that I’m planning! Thanks for the tip! Foolproof Vase for Small Spring Blooms Family Chic Flag this comment	4/21/11 11:57 AM
I tried this same paint technique on a wood step-stool from Ikea, also with green and white paint! I only added the herringbone design to the treads, though, keeping the rest of the piece white for contrast. It came out great!

That’s such a great idea! I love that they didn’t paint the piece – the bright colors add so much interest. I might have to try something like this for my new studio space. Before & After: From Cabinet Doors to Hot Honeycomb Arrow & Apple Flag this comment	4/6/11 6:09 PM
I like the patterned curtains, too. I think the design has such a small, consistent repeat that it doesn't compete with the rug at all. Go for it! Window Panels To Match My CB2 Rug? Good Questions Flag this comment	3/16/11 11:42 AM
Wow! That before was a disaster! I love how light and airy it looks now - not at all dark or cramped. Great job! I want one! Before & After: Airstream Trailer Renovation by Hofmann Architecture Professional Project Flag this comment	2/8/11 12:57 PM
