I don't know. Maybe in large, minimal spaces looks good. I am still happy I replaced everything brass my parents put in my apartment. It looks much better. IMO the only good thing about brass is its antimicrobial properties. Maybe is a good choice if you have kids or health issues.

It's a great gift idea for my upstairs neighbors LOL

Thank you so much you mentioned hangers. I replaced a couple of months all my hangers with thick black wire ones and the closet looks fantastic. My friends thought i was crazy. You just justified my action.

I just love when people kill beige... one room at a time!!!

Did what @HeyJoanne did. Get rid of the doors and use a shower curtain. This is a battle you can't win.

Though I also hate wire hangers, I found the ones to make me change my mind. Thick and black wire hangers. And so cheap, that I bought 30 of them and I am going to buy a dozen more to replace all my plastic ones.
So "no ugly wire hangers"

I can't remember who said it, but you have to check three things before you move in. The neighborhood, the neighborhood and the neighborhood.

I live in Athens, Greece. My neighborhood is not the quietest but I could handle it, till the day a new neighbor, few meters away, brought a dog, which he almost all day leaves at the balcony. From the first day all you could hear was a large dog barking and crying to get inside the house. I was polite, I was rude, I was angry, i called the police two times in a row and they somehow treated the poor thing in a more human way. But all night the dog was back at the balcony. Barking precisely at 02:30, 04:30 and 07:00 when they woke up. No matter what, they never did anything. Now they have a new one. 3 months ago the street was a mess. A dog barking all afternoon, people shouting at them, police too many times. They put the dog in for a while or a few days and back again. Now it's winter and the dog is still out all afternoon but since the last police call not at night. But the barking is still annoying even if it's less due to less activity that would make it upset. But my nerves can't handle not even a "yap" at this point and can't sell my apartment due to the crisis here. And it's been 3 years now!!!
My point is that be nice once, be nice twice but noisy people are people who don't respect the others. Who think high of themselves. So after the polite period passes, just call the police as often as necessary or do whatever has to be done. Don't be patient. It will blow back to your face. And certainly don't change your way of life with earplugs or whatever because of a noisy neighbor. I used to love dogs, now I can't stand them because of one............. (this is a nice site and I can't swear)

No way. No way. No way.

I turn on all my CFC bulbs so they reach their maximum luminance when quests arrive. I hate it when the lights are on but the light isn't enough. Especially if you use the cheap IKEA lamps LOL
