Re: Hear ye, Hear Ye - guess what?
Congratulation!!!! Maybe you can put on the blog a great sale item of the date or week.. Also I would love to find a place that help decorate regular apartment (not loft style). We rent and I soo need ideas fixing the place but I cant find good inspiration. GL

Re: Hear ye, Hear Ye - guess what?
DIY videos would be great...especially for 'simple' projects.
A database of actual rooms painted with specific colors (e.g. BM Adagio, etc.)...so we can see an example of how the color looks painted in a room.
I'm so excited for your guys...good luck!

Re: Hear ye, Hear Ye - guess what?
Congratulations! Cannot wait to read..you guys have such good ideas...maybe you could feature home styles that are not typically covered on design shows, etc...I feel like you see a lot of colonials, traditional homes and homes where a LOT of structure has been changed/new construction..I am in a split level and don't find a lot of ideas that work for our home..I know there are a TON of splits on LI...anyway, that would be awesome and you guys are awesome for doing something about your passion-how about intro. rates for LIFers?! J/k....congrats, again!

Thanks! We are completely excited to be following a dream of ours. 
Could you give us some examples of what doesn't work for you in your Split level? You are right, a lot of shows focus on different kinds of houses and not that much on Splits.

Re: Hear ye, Hear Ye - guess what?
everyone pretty much covered my thoughts....just wanted to say good luck and we can't wait to hear/read all about it!
when you guys are closer to lauching, you might want to do a focus group to get more layout ideas and concepts. i find that very helpful at my job....and i'm sure a few of us would meet for a chat over cocktails!

Re: Hear ye, Hear Ye - guess what?
OMG this is so exciting. I'm a true lurker here and love both of your ideas all the time. I feel like someone's pregnant 
Topics of interest to me....
*Please remember us pathetic apartment dwelllers in your blog :( we get no love from most design and decor sites 
* relatedly, storage storage storage. And more storage. I live in a world of clutter and sometimes I go out for the day simply to get away from it
* CLOSET DESIGN. OMG I can't tell you how many of those "design your own closet in 3 steps" sites I've used, and they SUUCK. All of them!!!!!
*Area rugs confuse me. Traditional/Contemporary/Transitional??/ WTFluck is 'transitional'????/ Materials, the right size for the room, yaddayadda. I never know what to do so I live with bare floors :(
*A babyproofing section would be nice for the parents out there... any "less obvious" tips that could help us avoid an ER visit or two would be nice
*Shelving. This could be a blog unto itself I think How to achieve extra storage but NOT look like you're in the garage.
*Small kitchens. Bane of my existence. No wonder I never cook.
And of course the "looks for less" that everyone mentioned, I LOVE those sites and can't get enough of 'em.
Congrats ladies, I cannot WAIT until you achieve liftoff!!!!!

Im sorry, did you just call yourself a lurker on here. you MUST have meant specifically the home board, right? 
Thanks for sharing all the great ideas! And we can definitely cover small spaces....I myself am a co-op dweller!

Basically, I find that it's hard to make my split "flow" and have I guess what could be considered a "transitional" style...there are also not many walls you can hang stuff on, if that makes sense...if you do a focus group, I am there with pictures! I don't know if I'm explaining myself well...
ETS I think I know! It's "warming the place up"

A friend of mine had a split, so I understand about the wall space. Thanks for the info.

Re: Hear ye, Hear Ye - guess what?
congrats on the new venture!
I don't know if either of you ever spent time on T H E N E S T.com (so weird tHAT WAS BLOCKED OUT) but there were a few members that made profiles into blogs, there was one for paint another for outdoor living and other topics.
They took ideas (with permission) from other nesties & put them in all one place.
I think so many LIF members have done amazing things in their homes, maybe you could have a "real life" section or something showcasing homes with different design styles.
Incorporating the photoshop mastery somehow would be great too.

Re: Hear ye, Hear Ye - guess what?
Oh God and CURTAINS. Specifically hanging them so they don't look dumb. What length? To puddle or not to puddle? and the freakin hardware. 
Do I sound home-challenged
Also I'd appreciate an answer to my my most burning home question...
Topic: Throw Pillows
Question: WHY ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH WOULD ANYONE SPEND $150 or MORE on a 12x12 piece of fabric with cotton or foam inside??? WHY??
The whole throw pillow industry is a scam imho.

Me & Melissa will get right on that one and interview the "Pillow Industry" and ask them their take on this.
And I would never ever spend $150 on a pillow I don't use, heck I would never spend that much even if I could put my head on it.
