I was hoping the first picture was the "after"...so simple, classy and elegant.

While I agree that a mock-up is a good way to lay out framed art, I think that other elements should be taken in consideration. One of the most important being editing, choosing the pieces to expose ... Frames and distances between pictures are also the key as well as certain symmetry. I was intrigued by this layout so I played with it a bit and this is what came out ...

This apartment makes me feel as if my best friend lived in it - I love it! So non pretentious for someone who makes a living as an interior designer, just beautiful and lived in and not staged for the house tour. Bella, kudos for staying real and true to self...
p.s. - love the gnome!

I really don't love galley kitchens at all - I have one in my house right now (very small, about 60 sqft only). However, ADD's kitchen looks amazing! I would love to have my sink and my range on the same side with the countertop space in between, that's so practical when cooking. I have to switch from one side to another all the time when I cook, and I cook a lot. Result: the kitchen floor is always dirty...hope I can renovate soon! Thank you for the inspiration.

I use some kind of Vileda Sponge Cloth (from dollar store because cheaper) - it's made from cellulose - a natural raw material and it's super absorbent. I use this product for more than 20 years and it's my favorite in the kitchen for spills and other mishaps. It's very durable and you can wash it as often you wish.

My mom used to put orange peels on the heater in the winter. Nice smell filled the room almost instantly. Don't let it burn, though!

If I have so much books that I run out of place for them do I have a hoarding problem? Should I hold on the books even if I've already read them? I would rather edit and give away than have books all over the floor...

I actually prefer to have gray as a base color for the bedroom and not the other way around, for the accessories. That way my accessories can be really bold and make a statement.

@ seldomyes: I just made a step by step presentation on bread making for the beginners on my blog. You really don't need to be terrified of yeast, lol, it's such a simple and wonderful process - you only need patience to let it do the work! Take a look:

I'm making bread for so many years and I would like to share with you my very simple method. Actually, I posted the entire process on my blog in form of a step by step presentation. You'll see, it isn't complicated at all, you need a few basic ingredients and a patience to let the yeast do the work...try it, it's very rewarding!

@Veggie Chef: sorry, didn't see your question. My containers are plain old Ziploc, I bought a box with plenty of containers for about 10$ at Costco.

I'm a bit lazy when cooking so I searched for a solution to thicken my soups without having to work hard;-) I found that a spoon or two of rolled oatmeal / oats added right in the beginning does the job perfectly! Unlike cauliflower or potato, it has a totally neutral flavor and it disintegrates completely at the end. You have a nice thick soup without effort! For some soups I like to use a hand blender, like for this one: http://lovelivesurvivehome.blogspot.com/2009/11/indian-carrot-ginger-soup-recipe.html
