For those who do go tile crazy, tile is amazing on the bathroom ceiling - it's incredibly easy to keep clean!

It's not just legend that eggs were used to help bind the mortar of Charles bridge! A few years back when flooding caused a lot of damage to the bridge, they took the opportunity to take samples of inner parts of the bridge dating to its origins before they restored the bridge as necessary. Testing of the samples found egg proteins.

I visited Prague in March and absolutely adored it. It's very easy to spend a few days there on a low budget.

I'm a "before" fan. I'd rather see what I have to work with instead of a row of white buckets.

I don't own an ashtray, so no.

Laptop with internet, digital camera, cell phone (and that's only because I don't have a landline). Easy.

Glamorous Classic

You have a refined sensibility with an appreciation for history and tradition in your furniture and your rooms. You value beauty and craftsmanship. You are visually sensitive and understand how symmetry and a balanced layout give order to a room. But you definitely like to shake things up with some unabashed luxury and glamour to keep things from getting boring. You go for rich materials like velvets, one-of-a-kind objects, lady-like touches, glimmering accessories, and a sense of old-Hollywood romance that makes your home dramatic and elegant.

You value creativity. You are stylish and fun loving, and can be an inspiration to others. You have a natural sense of drama, and you know you have to be willing to take risks—whether with colors, finishes, furniture choices, or ideas—for your home to stand out. Your home can be happy and lively and the place all of your friends want to be.

More shelving! I still have boxes of books packed up from when I moved a year and a half ago, simply because there is no place to put them. I used to have enough shelving (barely), but when I moved in with the boyfriend... I had to learn to share!

Highsociety - you aren't alone. ;)

When my boyfriend and I moved in together a year and a half ago, we had few duplicates. We made a deal, though: he gets to keep his hideous bed frame (that I absolutely loathe) and I rule pretty much everything else. This means (amongst other things) I get to put up my canvases and framed images on the walls, while striking down his awful posters.

I think the biggest key was patience. Without that, goodness knows how much more friction there would have been!

Here in Atlantic Canada, I've encountered all of one home where it wasn't standard to remove your shoes at the door.
