Great but the long curtains on the high window are just plain silly.

Paint the vanity wood white. Bring in plants. Lots of plants. Paint the door a bright color. Add towels. Your are pretty much done.

Cool without being precious? AA book on bar. E A T letters in dining room. Buddhas. Reclaimed wood furniture. "Hilarious" fake birds. Cardboard taxidermy. "one four three six."

"Only boring people are bored" is a tired, trite aphorism that encourages children to believe that there is something wrong with or lacking in them if they admit to boredom. Not only should parents who use shame as a technique to rid children of behavior that annoys them be ashamed, adults who claim not to have been bored "since 8 or something" are not being truthful to themselves. And why should they since they have been taught that admitting boredom is an admission of being boring.

While this jar idea may seem hokey, I suspect it is also effective. Certainly more so than using intimidation to avoid irritation. And while the cleaning trick is also effective, it links cleaning to punishment - never a good idea. The mixing of a few chores with treats or activities makes the efficacy of the "cure" dependent on surprise and chance.

I'd get bulbs which have are silvered half way which will direct the light back up to the ceiling and be less harsh.

Bedside tables.

ugly. plastic. poorly thought out. looks like the hgtc design shows have finally become the inspiration instead of the other way around.

Um. Wallpaper is never a backsplash. Ever.

Keep experimenting. The parts are greater than the sum here.

Dear Pi: Decor is a "problem" for everyone. First world or not. Look around.
