Help!!.baby mouse found in laundry room, laundry now piling up:)
Comments (4)If you are that freaked out by mice and can afford it, hire an exterminator. If you can't afford it, set some humane traps. NOT A STICKY TRAP. The sticky traps are horrible. They severely torture the trapped mice, and also torture the human that put them out, via guilt. No matter how much you hate mice, if you have never seen a mouse or other creature on a sticky trap, believe me, you don't want to. They are stuck to the glue, and are absolutely frantic, trying to escape. They end up tearing their own skin off and breaking bones in the process, adding to the agony. They finally give up out of exhaustion, dehydration, and injury, and death comes slowly and painfully. I hate rodents, and certainly would FREAK if they were inside my house, but I would never subject any creature to a death like that. By humane traps, I mean one of two options: A snap trap that will kill them quickly, or a trap that will allow them to crawl inside but not be able to escape. Then you have to take them somewhere and release them. Probably not high on your list ;) An exterminator will do this for you. But again, there is a cost associated. The advice given about finding the spots where they are entering is very good. Mice can get inside via a hole as little as 1/2" wide.

Comments (59)YES! You want to do the top blue...get on that asap. We'll all look around for ridiculously low priced chandeliers so that you have some funny money for extra goodies... As usual, I adore chinoiserie, so I would do that kind of fabric for the seats... Someone posted drapes that I thought were SO fabulous...I'll see if I can find them. ETA: it was these..https://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Exclusive-Fabrics-Mecca-Printed-Cotton-Single-Curtain-Panel/8285937/product.html?refccid=FGOEJLVFQFSINKKKWWFWGKXSAE&searchidx=29 However, they may be too full for the window closest to the door. If you have an Ikea near you, they have very nice drapes (I would do white) that you can add a trim to? And they would be well within your budget......See Morelaundry room room makeover help
Comments (11)I think blush pink walls would look great with the neutrals you have in there. Consider adding some art on the walls and maybe a nice colorful rug too. I'm not a plant expert, but I imagine some low light loving plants could survive without a window (at least for some time) and would bring in some color and life to the room. Plus green looks great with blush pink....See MoreHelp with my drab living room!
Comments (39)I wouldn't cover the mirror or paint the fireplace. Get a large, wide horizontal art work (or two art works) with your favorite colors to balance out the TV screen (which no one is talking about! Why is that?) Here are two Society6.com art prints frame in brown wood to echo your leather furniture and fireplace and blue to link with your rug and which scratch the geometric itch. (How did farmhouse get in there?) Side by side, something like this would balance out huge TV screen Fill the firebox with interestingly stacked logs so it's not a big dark hole:...See Morebridgetmarie21
