That is my favourite Banksy piece. Love that you used it in your daughter's room. Where is that framed piece from? Great job!

I use vinegar and baking soda in the toilet.

Nothing like a toilet post to show some readers' true colours. Insensitive and un-Eco friendly!

You'd be surprised at how many people don't clean their toilets because they do not how to properly do so.

Great post, Laure!


How To Clean Your Toilet

I'm with a lot of people about a) the angle of the couch (needs to face fireplace and moved back) and b) selling it to get a smaller one. Then wall mounting on top of the fireplace with a cover (does anyone make mirror ones?) or getting a credenza and putting it adjacent to the wall the tv is cornered in facing a purchased love seat perhaps?

I agree with most of the comments that the new space seems cold. I would've liked to see some of the old furniture make it into the new room. That would be a transformation. The new space is very pretty though. And neglecting the fireplace was a big mistake. Maybe you could've split up the room into 2 zones. Still, nice work and vision :)

I just put bubble wrap on my windows and it worked a little bit. I'm planning to put thermal curtains and hopefully it will make my bedroom way warmer. Heaters placed near windows is the only way to keep that area warm. If you don't have a heater there, it will be colder than it already is.

I don't want to get any heat for this but as a current Interior Design Student, we have just been taught that yellow is not a good colour choice for nurseries.

But I still think that you did a super job. I'm renting too and I would love to do way more permanent stuff.

The first board book my son responded to was Paola Opal's Saffy. I loved it too.

The first book we bought him was Charley Harper's ABC. I'm not sure if that still qualifies as a lesser known book.

We also have Flowers and at one point, I bought Amanda Vissell's book but returned it because my son didn't seem to like it.

I'm a big fan of Nikki McClure and we have the first 1000 days journal. Her papercuts are awesome.

I still don't get why it's selfish...Aren't you all someone's children? And isn't this show about design? which is why it's here on AT? I'm sure there are a lot more shows without multiple children involved. You just have to be interesting. Obviously, if you don't have children then you can't relate to how interesting life can be with them.

I have red accents in my white rental kitchen. Toaster, Spice Jars and Poppy Decals on my Fridge. I think it's important not to go overboard with such a bold colour. It's easy to get caught up in buying everything in red so I had to exercise extreme self control!
