I subscribe to English Home magazine - to me the looks are timeless. They throw in some funky stuff but being a "non minimalist" I like the layered look of most of the homes and rooms that they showcase.

Haha. I can't count the number of times I've watched my sister-in-law do that, and wondered, "What the...?"

Ive noticed a trend toward textured tile backsplashes in kitchens. What are they thinking? Imagine the joy of cleaning grease off a bumpy backsplash.

I have no idea, I'm not the one who 'bold' those words at all. Try not to let the little things bother you.


Yes, she does nice work; but lately getting boring same old.

Glass and metal TV stands which are supposed to look high-tech and modern but which really just expose a mess of wires and ugly electronics. They scream bachelor pad and men seem to like them. Unfortunately, my husband brought one home with his new TV. I hope if someone breaks in and steals the TV, they take the stand too.

I hate seeing all the wires. My husband and I didn't have room in a spare bedroom for the two nightstands. Since they had square edges we put both of them together for his tv in the living room. It;s actually pretty nice, very sturdy and has drawers to hide stuff in. I now for our next living room we will look for nightstands

Wires are a curse of modern life. I don't get too upset about them.

I don’t think glass/metal media consoles suit a lot of people’s taste. There are tricks to conceal the cords and wires but your husband has to be on board with organizing the cords and concealing them. I opted for a metal media console by a young designer named Jonah Takagi for our condo space, mostly because the lines of the support beams and leg placement looked quirky and interesting. I use it as a TV stand and shelf for occasional books. The books do an ok job of hiding the cords. You can try some objets as well. It does have the advantage of being a lot less bulky than wood. Just rotated some coffee table books from the media console tonight:
