  3. My favorite design “tip” was from the “Say no to clutter How to organize your home office” which was to buy a board. I think that this will really help keep the clutter off of my desk but still in my minds eye :)

  5. The No Space? No Problem post is something I need to incorporate more of in my house. Some things I have done but there were a couple good ideas I hadn’t thought of!

  8. I liked the tips for renters and how to update and decorate on rental homes without doing anything permanent. :] thanks for this opportunity!

  13. My color choices of white and greys say that Im a simple person so I learned about how showing my personality a bit more with some color!

  16. My favorite design tip is about revamping rented space by painting walls and hanging curtains rather than ripping and tearing.

  18. I learned that if your furniture is simple, use an eclectic print(curtain) to make a statement, in the “Revamp Don’t replace” Article.

  20. Say “No” to Clutter: How to Organize Your Home Office. I liked the advice to look for a desk model that comes with built-in drawers and lots of storage space

  22. I love the series on decorating the dinning room. That is the room we are working on right now!

  26. I learned about No Space? No Problem. I have a small house, and seem to always have issues with space.

  34. I liked many tips, especially how to organize your home office. Definitely will be using these tips for my projects.

  35. My favorite tip is “Hang It”: If you can’t stand the sight of those chunky shutters or broken window panes, curtains are an easy fix.

  37. i like the revamp, don’t replace tip for painting. it’s so simple and it feels like you did a lot of work!

  39. I love the tip for “Revamp Don’t Replace”: If the lack of separation drives you insane, use a tall shelving unit or bookcase to segment your space. The right item will help you create a living room or dining room where there used to be just, well, room. It will also provide extra storage and give you a place to display your décor.

  41. What Your Apartment Color Scheme Says About Your Personality – I like blue and purple so according to this blue indicates patience and understanding purple introverted, yet open-minded personality

  43. My favorite tip: Revamp, Don’t Replace. Apartments are notorious for having open floor plans and minimal division. If the lack of separation drives you insane, use a tall shelving unit or bookcase to segment your space.

  45. I entered this sweepstakes and I enjoyed Kim Myles tip on how to make bird’s nest lamp shade. Brilliant!

  46. The tip that resonated with me was to use a tall shelving unit or bookcase to segment your space. I really like this idea.

    Thank you.

  48. My favorite tip I found on their site was in the article “Say No to Clutter: How to Organize Your Home Office”. I love the idea of having a bright colored desk chair. It makes the work area a little more fun and it can help incorporate the desk into the other colors flowing in your room.

  49. I also entered their giveaway – I chose the Southern Bungalow room in the bedroom category – so pretty!

  50. Use a floor-length tablecloth on a side table for a discrete place to store extra stuff.

  53. I liked the idea of having armless furniture to make your space appear bigger…I could sure use that! ;)

  55. A design tip I learned was to find a piece of furniture you like and keep looking until you find it or similar in your price range online.

  61. I like the “Put an easy-to-read label on the front of each bin so you won’t have to tear your whole place apart the next time you need a stapler.” for our home office.

  63. My favorite design tip was: Texture is a wonderful way to add layers to your room and makes the space feel more lived in.

  69. Use magnets to mount a new lampshade or create your own light fixture replacement using a plastic basket.

  72. I really like the idea of incorporating architectural details into a home to add more visual interest.

  75. I liked the idea to make your bed everyday from Organize your bedroom: Nine ideas. I do this and it is absolutely true!

  76. I learned that to save space you can use a floor length table cloth so you can store things under the table

  78. I love the Coastal Getaway as well. It’s the look I’m going for with my new babies nursery!

  79. I like the Top 10 things you can do to make a room post. I know my living room really needs a big mirror and this just confirms it.

  80. I liked Organize Your Bedroom: Nine Ideas… now if I could get my husband to comply. :-)
