Impress your guests
By badbadivy
For Christmas, my dad got my mom a present I considered stealing from her. It was a water faucet that makes your water appear to be blue. Now that they have it installed, they make everyone use the faucet in their guest bedroom.

Our Living Room
By aliciaThe living room began with faded wood panelling, had a brief stint with cream, an even more brief stint with yellow, and finally settled upon "November Sky". The relationship survived its first year, which says a lot.
