6 Things All Single People Should Know How to Do at Home
When you’re single—and especially when you live alone—you’re on your own when it comes to getting stuff done around the house. You’ve got no one to split chores with and, unless you’ve got a pet, no one to take care of but yourself (though that doesn’t mean you’ll be lonely, either.) But since you have to take care of all your household responsibilities by yourself, you’re going to have to know how to do them if you don’t already.

The New Hues: Blue, Grey & Green in the Kitchen
For some time now, white has been the color of choice for kitchen cabinets. I think maybe we got fatigued by all those dark-cherry and oak cabinets in the late 90s and decided to play it safe. But now I’m noticing a new trend, one that I’m really excited about: color, especially in beautiful, cool tones like grey and green and blue, is creeping back into the kitchen. Mint green cabinets in a kitchen by Petra Bindel. Doesn’t this space look so cool and elegant?

Here’s a story that might make you more than a little jealous: Alain Meyer, who works at an advertising agency in Paris, was bored one day at work. He heard some of his co-workers talking about studio apartments, and decided to do a little hunting online. He happened to find one that he really liked — a trim 30 square meters (323 square feet), in the sixth arrondisement, where he grew up. So he bought it. Just like that.

Anthropologie’s Ordinal Dresser is one popular piece of furniture — so much that this is the second dresser makeover we’ve seen based off of it. The first one was a low, six-drawer version, but this one will have you thinking twice about which dresser is the original, and which is the knock-off. It’s hard to believe, but the above dresser was made to look nearly identical to the Ordinal, all for only $30!

Before & After: DVD Cabinet, Take 2
Almost two years ago, I wrote about reducing the visual noise of this glass-door bookcase I use for DVD storage. Though not ideal for this purpose, the piece has sentimental value because it belonged to a neighbor/surrogate grandmother who has since passed away. My original effort to reduce the visual noise using paper I had in the house was successful, but never really made my heart sing.Skip ahead to last month when I found this beautiful inspiration image from Elle Decor.
