Duh....I scanned the list for the word "pictures" and didn't see the word "photos".

I would just like to say that I love your condo. I love the way it's decorated. I think it's swanky, cozy, and every good thing.

My place is chaos right now because I don't know if I'm moving or not. I've packed things only to unpack them because I didn't find a new place to live and needed to use the stuff I'd packed.

I'm with LSPE, I think it would be so interesting to see some photos of LoT digs. My house used to look a little too formal. My ex liked very traditional decor. (Read: stuffy) Think of the men's grill at an old country club. My new place will be different.

25. Toilet Rugs - What's a toilet rug? Is that a rug in the toilet, a rug on the seat of the toilet, or a rug in front of the toilet? Or maybe a rug made out of a toilet.

24. Too Many Photos - We have 3 displayed photos in the house. I don't think that is too much. Those three are the first I have ever displayed.

23. Ignoring the Foyer - I've never had a foyer.

22. Undressed Cables - I don't have a sewing machine and I refuse to pay retail for cable clothes.

21. Out-of-Place Themes - I once put my sunporch theme in the kitchen. Boy I felt foolish.

20. Outdated Accessories - I'm not even sure what "accessory" would mean in terms of decorating. But I will now take down the 1973 calendar.

19. Lopsided Furniture Arrangements - My couch is 4 inches taller on the right side. But that is because I sit on the left.

18. Keeping Something You Hate - But I derive my life energy from hate!

17. Too Formal - The day my coffee table doesn't have to call me sir is the day communists and al qaeda have won.

16. Uncomfortable Dining Chairs - Who eats at the dining table? I don't give a damn whether the stacks of DVDs on the dining chairs are comfortable.

15. Lack of Traffic Pattern - I agree with this one. Walking from living room to the bedroom in an alternating diagonal pattern takes a while but it really makes the place seem bigger.

14. Everything Matches - Also, a fire danger.

13. Following Fads - But is this better or worse than leading them?

12. Furniture That Doesn't Fit - It's just a phase all teenagers go through. It'll find its niche eventually.

11. Too Many Colors of Patterns - So lots of patterns are fine if in grayscale?

10. Floating Rugs - I had always heard that "you're less dense than water!" is the vilest thing you can say to a rug in Persian (Babelfish doesn't do Persian so here it is in Chinese: 再较不密集比水!) but it is good to hear it is true.

9. Improper Lighting - We once had a recessed dome light feel up my grandmother. So I drowned it under the rug.

8. Frames Hung Too High - If you hang them too low then they may hit the ground and not die. That would be embarrassing. Also, I like my photos hung high (seriously, I'm guilty fo this one and have received comments, but I really do prefer it and I'm the one who lives here).

7. Tacky Couch Covers - Slippery ones are ok? Frankly, even if there is no cover a tacky couch would be bad. This includes vinyl in hot climes.

6. Pushed-Back Furniture - Honestly, I have no idea what this even means.

5. Ignoring Windows - If I don't ignore the windows the foyer it going to get snippy.

4. Fear of Color - Ahhhh!

3. Knickknack Overload - This is true, the world lacks sufficient k's.

2. Too Many Pillows - There is no such thing as too many pillows. And by pillows I mean boobs.

1. Fake Flowers - Alliterative accessories are awful.

Hmmm, not bad. I only have one out of place theme (a small pirate area where it's kind of bizarre) and one hung-too-high frame that's definetely there just temporarily.



Cool. :cool:

I like my toilet rug.. it soaks up all the 'near misses' and saves buying a mop.




....oh, did i really just say that?.. Ewwwwww.

Ew.

Toilet rug also delays the time before you realize you're not aiming right when you pee in the night.

I know this is furthering the thread drift, but am I the only guy who will sit when needing to relieve myself in the middle of the night?

My trick for peeing in the middle of the night is that I open my eyes. It does wonders.

I didn't figure this out until about six months ago, but getting out of bed also helps.
